Soft leaf Buffalo is the only decent broad leaf shade tolerant grass currently available in Central Queensland. It also handles sun. Soft leaf buffalo is becoming the most popular grass Australia wide. It retains good winter colour and does not usually get affected by grubs once it is established. Generally low mowing requirements. Soft leaf buffalo will become more popular as yards get smaller and houses bigger. Broadleaf weeds can be controlled by any broadleaf weed spray that does not contain Dicamba.
TURF PICK UP PROCEDURE
We cut turf Mondays through to Saturdays. No need to book for pick ups. Call into the shop, pay for your turf and we will direct you to the correct paddock for your pick up. The boys will cut the right number of rolls for the square metres you have purchased. As the rolls get cut you follow behind with your vehicle to pick them up. Its always much easier to have a driver so one can load and one can move your vehicle down the row.
In order to bloom, you must grow!
