Our instant lawn is usually supplied by Living Earth Grass Farm.  All soil preparation is done by us, i.e. shaping/leveling, composting and fertilizing all before the grass is laid.

The most popular lawns in this area are, Buffalo lawn, Berea lawn, Cynodon lawn and Kearsney lawn.

Buffalo is a full sun lawn with a fairly coarse dark green leaf.  It does well in our sandy soils and fares fairly well in the clay type soils too.  With a proper fertilization program it becomes a lovely thick lawn which can withstand a fair amount of traffic.  Drought resistance is fair.

Berea is a full sun to semi-shade lawn with a light green leaf.  It also does well in our sandy soils as long as it is well watered, also does well in clay type soils.  This lawn also likes to be well fertilized and watered, it is a softer lawn than Buffalo and can't withstand the same amount of traffic but is still one of the most popular lawns in our area.  Drought resistance is fair to poor.

Cynodon is a full sun lawn with a fine to very fine dark green leaf.  (Certain varieties are used on greens)  It grows very well in sandy and clay type soils.  This lawn also looks best when well fertilized and watered.   It tends to show signs drought conditions very quickly but revives very quickly when watered.  It is a very tough lawn and tends to take charge over other lawns but is still one of my favorites.

Kearsney is generally a lawn which likes a lot of water and can grow fairly well in semi-shaded areas.  Due to the fact that is likes water it does not grow very well in sandy soils unless watered often.  It is a soft lawn with a very broad leaf and is medium green in colour.  I have found that it responds better to compost than artificial fertilizers, if you do fertilize with artificial fertilizer be very careful with fertilizers high in nitrogen and water very well after fertilizing.  Drought resistance is low.

Buffalo, Berea and Cynodon lawns can be supplied as instant lawns but Kearsney is usually supplied as grass plugs.
