How Matilda Buffalo Grass Can Give You That Perfect Lawn

Turf Preparation Sydney can be quite an exhilarating task for those who love gardening chores. There is not much difference between laying a turf and sowing a new lawn. A new turf will give you green lawns within a short period of 4 to six weeks. Every bit of time and effort spent in turf laying is worth it when you see the result after a few weeks.

There is one important point that you should keep in mind though and that is to not keep the turf rolled up for a long time as you run the risk of it getting yellow due to excess heat which will naturally kill the grass. Hence, you do not want to see your money go to waste on account of your carelessness.

A Few Tips for Turf Preparation Sydney

1.    Cut the first roll into half and place in one corner and then begin to lay the entire set of other rolls
2.    While laying, do not leave any gap between them
3.    Lay a board across the turf if you need to walk across it but try to avoid walking directly on the new turf for obvious reasons
4.    Water it regularly which means daily and in some wether conditions even twice a day is acceptable
5.    Keep checking the grass growth. Once you see the start of a consistent growth, you can then reduce the watering to perhaps just once or twice a week
6.    Remember if you do not water the turf properly in the initial days then it will shrink and there will be gaps which will again have to be filled with compost and seed. This naturally means unnecessary expenses which could have been easily avoided
7.    Although, you can lay turf in summer too; the ideal time is autumn and winter where you need not water it at all

Mowing newly grown grass is also important but not very deep and then as the grass grows, you can mow according to the type of grass your turf has. You can ask a consultant about this or the vendor might be able to help too with a few tips.

Reasons for the Popularity of Matilda Buffalo

Matilda Buffalo is a popular soft leaf and high quality grass that is widely sold in Australia. This particular variety has some very wonderful characteristics:

1.    This grass has an impressive wear and tear rating
2.    If your lawn is likely to be a high traffic area; then Matilda is your best choice. By high traffic, it means that if your garden is going to be frequently run and trampled on by kids, pets or bikes etc. then it is one of the most sturdy grasses
3.    It fares well in adverse weather conditions too such as drought etc. It is quite resilient and can bounce back into health in no time at all

There is a flip side to Matilda too. It tends to develop more thatch when grown under strong sun but does all right in partial shade. The main attraction and appeal of Matilda for home lawn is in its ability to repair itself quickly. It grows quickly but it means that it will have to frequently mow.
If you are unsure about choosing Matilda for your home lawn then contact a professional consultant so that there are no regrets.
