Kikuyu For Your Lawn?

• Choosing the right type of grass is a big
  decision regarding your lawn. This is a vast
  variety available to make the selection process
  very complex for you. The two most brutal
  challengers are buffalo grass and Kikuyu grass.
  We compare them in this PowerPoint presentation
  to determine the differences and which is better
  in different situations.

WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BUFFALO AND
KIKUYU GRASS?

• Buffalo grass is available in a wide variety
  like soft leaf, shade master, palmetto etc.
• Different types of buffalo grasses ultimately
  have different characteristics.
• They have the same features like incredible
  resistance to weeds, drought and salt conditions.
• Maintaining buffalo grass is easy, even for
  homeowners.
• Buffalo grass variety can maintain its colour
  very easily during winters.
• Kikuyu grass does not do well in heavily shaded
  areas.

This is the significant difference between
buffalo grass and Kikuyu grass. Kikuyu is
quickly growing and easy to repair. This grass
has high resistance to weeds. You will find
green colour spread on your lawn all year round
when you choose Kikuyu grass. Since it is
hard-wearing, it is an excellent option for
families with dogs and children.

WHICH GRASS IS BETTER FOR DROUGHT - PRONE AREAS?
WHICH GRASS IS BETTER IN APPEARANCE - KIKUYU OR
BUFFALO GRASS SEED?

• Australia has a dry climate, and in this
  situation, it is essential to choose grass that
  can manage itself in drought-like conditions.
• Compared to Kikuyu variants, buffalo grass,
  like palmetto, are more suitable in drought-prone
  areas.
• They get nutrients and moisture from the soil
  easily due to the deep root system.

• Both these kinds of grass are known for
  maintaining their lush green colour well.
• The major difference between these grasses is
  that the buffalo varieties have broad leaves,
  whereas Kikuyu has fine leaves.

MAINTENANCE-RELATED REQUIREMENTS

• This pointer becomes very important as most
  families have children and pets who love to play
  in the lawn.
• For these situations, a grass variety that can
  hold up well against heavy foot traffic is ideal.
• Kikuyu grass stands up well in non-shady
  gardens.
• However, if you want something that is not
  quick in wear and tear, you should choose
  palmetto buffalo grass.
• Out of these two types of grass, buffalo grass
  is very low maintenance and slow growing.
• You will not need to mow buffalo grasses too
  frequently.
