Description
Four years ago we went in search of the ideal Indigenous Lawn for our South African Coastal areas. Since then the demand for our combination of buffalo-kweek complimenting one another during the drought, attests to its versatility and adaptability, producing a lawn for all seasons.
Our lawn has the following benefits:
* Indigenous Lawn
* Drought tolerant / Save water
* More disease resistant in moist areas
* Salt tolerant
* Fairly frost tolerant
* Comparatively less maintenance / Less time mowing, weeding
* Fairly shade tolerant
* Thick carpeted lawn
* Handles traffic well
The resilience of this combination will certainly eradicate any existing problems experienced with Buffalo or Fyn-kweek growing on their own.
Buffalo-Kweek Mix Instant Lawn
Buffalo
Species: Stenotaphrum secundatum
Common names: Buffalo grass, St Augustine grass, Crab grass, Mission grass.
Indigenous to South Africa.
This is a broad leafed grass which grows by means of runners and forms a dense mat.
Kweek
Species: Cynodon dactylon
Common names: Fynkweek, Bermuda grass, Couch grass
Indigenous to South Africa.
This is a fine leafed grass which grows by means of runners.
Buffalo-Kweek Mix has the following positive attributes-
It is:
* Indigenous Lawn
* Can be planted any time of the year
* Drought tolerant. Therefore you save water
* More disease resistant in moist areas in comparison to other grasses
* Salt tolerant
* Fairly frost tolerant
* Comparatively less maintenance. Less mowing required
* Fairly shade tolerant

* Not as invasive as exotic lawns like Kikuyu and Paspalum vaginatum.
* Handles traffic well
* The Buffalo roots are short, approximately 50mm deep, as opposed to the other grasses which have deep roots.
* If you ever wish to remove Buffalo from a certain area, it would be an easy task verses removing any other lawn.
* A thick matted lawn, 25-40mm
The resilience of this combination will certainly eradicate any possible existing problems experienced with Buffalo or Fyn-Kweek growing on their own.
