Colin Barlow’s pick of the crop when it comes to turf is, a soft leafed Variety of Buffalo called Palmetto which is well suited to WA’s climate and soils and can handle both sun and shade, so it’s ideal for gardens that have both. It’s also a low maintenance lawn; it needs less fertilizer, less mowing and less renovation. And, importantly, Palmetto is also a low water user.
Palmetto maintains a uniform emerald green colour all year round and its soft leaf is ideally suited to children, pets and those who just like to feel the grass between their toes. It’s also a less invasive grass and is easily removed from garden beds.
