Follow these steps and your new lawn will establish quickly.
Weeks 1–2: twice daily, keeping the soil moist. Weeks 3–4: once daily. After that, 2–3 times a week or as needed. Early morning is best. Once established, TifTuf is very drought tolerant.
Wait 2–4 weeks until the turf is firmly rooted. Keep it at 10–30 mm and never remove more than a third of the leaf at once.
Apply a starter fertiliser 4–6 weeks after installation, then every 8–12 weeks through the growing season. Avoid fertilising in winter.
Plan on a weekly mow through summer. In winter, growth slows at the coldest point but the colour holds well.
TifTuf uses up to 38% less water than other couch varieties, and it is very drought tolerant once established.
It tolerates up to about 50% shade, but it still needs a minimum of about 4 hours of sun each day.
It holds its colour well. Growth slows at the coldest point of winter.
It is medium maintenance, with a weekly mow in summer. Keep it between 10 and 30 mm.
It grows in any soil type, but it performs best when the soil is well-drained.
Most turf takes 2–6 weeks to fully establish, depending on the season and how well it is watered. Consistent watering in the first 2–3 weeks is the key.
Once your delivery date is confirmed, we will send you a text message at 3pm the day before your turf is due. It includes a link to track the truck delivering your turf, along with its ETA.
