Wintergreen Couch Turf.
FIND THE PERFECT LAWN FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Looks great when reel mown and well cared for.
Wintergreen gets its name from the fact that it remains green throughout the winter. So, is it Wintergreen or Winter Green Turf? Both!
Is an excellent choice for people who have pets and/or use their lawn for sports/exercise; simply allow it to grow a little longer in high-traffic areas.
It tolerates neglect better than many other types of turf.
Cheaper than Sir Walter Soft-Leaf Buffalo or Zoysia.
Wintergreen Couch is a popular choice for sports facilities (particularly golf courses) and rental home lawns due to its tenacity and the deep roots it produces once established.
For residential properties, it is best to install instant grass, also known as roll-on turf.
Wintergreen Couch requires six hours of direct sunlight per day (even in the winter) and is suitable for semi-shaded or full-sun areas.
Is an excellent option for grassing verges.
Lower price range: With a lower price than Zoysia and Buffalo, choosing Wintergreen Couch offers sizeable upfront savings when it comes to installing a new lawn. We strongly recommend verti-mowing take place in October every year to have the lawn looking great for the festive season.
Fast growing: The fast growth which enables a well-established Wintergreen Couch lawn to repair itself from wear and tear does also mean more mowing than you can expect from a Zoysia or Buffalo lawn. If you are happy to mow frequently, this is the lawn for you. A cylinder (reel) lawnmower can produce a strikingly polished effect but is not essential for mowing as a rotary lawnmower can also be used without causing harm to the grass if the blades are sharp.

How to establish your Turf?
ENSURE A HEALTHY START FOR YOUR NEW TURF
Use these essential guidelines to get your new turf off to a strong start. Proper establishment is essential for a healthy, beautiful lawn.
When it comes to Wintergreen Couch, people often disregard the importance of high-quality soil. The right soil is essential for your lawn's successful start and to prevent problems with nutrients and water.
For the healthiest wintergreen couch, we strongly suggest integrating Bentonite Clay into sandy soils in Perth. Bentonite is a natural clay product with no added chemicals. It delivers long-term benefits for water and fertilizer efficiency, ultimately saving you time and money. To achieve optimal results, make sure to blend Bentonite into your soil alongside organic matter like humus.
Wintergreen Couch turf has a short establishment time. Where other lawns could take up to two years to fully establish, Wintergreen Couch can take only three months. This means that for areas where traffic cannot be avoided you will have a shorter waiting period before being able to use the lawn.
If you are purchasing Wintergreen Couch for a high traffic area it is recommended to reduce the traffic for the first 4 weeks. In the warmer months Wintergreen Couch should establish quickly, however it is still important to monitor wear and tear during this early period.
Lawn should not be mowed until rolls have produced adequate roots. This should happen between 2 and 4 weeks and can be confirmed by checking that the rolls have secured themselves to the soil.
How to maintain your turf?
KEEP YOUR LAWN LOOKING LUSH AND GREEN
Follow these expert tips to keep your lawn looking lush and green. Regular maintenance ensures that your turf remains healthy and vibrant all year round.
In winter and if your lawn is in a shady area, it should be allowed to grow longer to be able to absorb more sunlight. Never remove more than one third of the leaf blade per mow, as this will remove a significant amount of the green food producing body. A longer leaf enables lawn to better tolerate wear and tear and to produce more food for itself, however you may need to mow more frequently as a result. We recommend mowing at a height of 25mm fortnightly in cooler months and 18mm in warmer months.
Thatch is an inherent byproduct of healthy lawn growth, found in all lawns. It obstructs the crucial passage of water and nutrients to the roots, where they are required for sustenance. To address this, it's advisable to engage in verti-mowing at least once annually.
For establishing or repairing of turf, the application should be 5kg per 50m2 of Eco-Growth’s Eco-Prime Red fertiliser which contains plenty of Phosphorus (in the form of non-leaching rock phosphate).
For optimum health of your lawn, it is recommended to fertilise at a maintenance rate of 5kg per 100m2 every 6-8 weeks for 6 months after installation and every 12 weeks thereafter.
Remember, always water thoroughly to activate the fertiliser and prevent any possible leaf burn.
