Explanation:
Creating a lush, immaculate lawn from seed isn’t as easy as it sounds, but with these handy tips you can soon establish an impressive green expanse that not only looks great, but can also increase the value of your home.
The humble suburban lawn doesn’t always get the respect it deserves. People say it’s not ‘natural’ and that you’re better off replacing grass with a rock garden, some mulched landscaping or concrete paving. But there are advantages to surrounding your home with an open lawn space. Here are just a few:
Green grass is more environmentally beneficial than you think
A dense, healthy lawn stabilises the soil, absorbs rainwater, reduces soil erosion and helps settle airborne dust (in the US, it’s estimated that grasses trap up to 12 million tons of dust and dirt annually). Grass cleans the air by absorbing carbon dioxide, and the lawn around your home can also reduce noise levels by around 20-30 per cent when compared to harder surfaces like concrete.
Lawn provides a safety barrier
Having lawn around your home makes it harder for burglars to approach undetected (they love dense shrubbery up against your windows for concealment). Having a stretch of lawn between your home and large trees can reduce protect your house from falling limbs in a storm – and reduce issues with tree roots invading your underground pipes.
Grassy areas provide a perfect place for kids (and adults) to play
If you have children but no lawn or handy park nearby, it can be hard to give young people the ‘running around’ time they need. A green space is ideal for backyard cricket, football tossing, weekend barbecues and summer fun.
A well-kept lawn can add serious value to your home
A manicured lawn enhances the look and feel of your home by adding a sense of order, tidiness and elegance. It can also provide a major boost to the overall value of your property. According to a 2012 study commissioned by Turf Australia, a lawn adds up to $75,688 in average value to a property. In Queensland, this specifically equated to an extra $48,600 added to a $405,000 home – or an added 12% in value. The same study also found that 80 per cent of us prefer a lawn that takes up around a third of our total property size.
When’s the best time?
Spring is a great time to plant a new lawn from seed in most parts of Australia, because the weather is mild and the grass has time to become established under optimum conditions. Ideally, you should sow seed when temperatures are neither too cold nor too hot.
Spring is a great time to plant a new lawn from seed in most parts of Australia, because the weather is mild and the grass has time to become established under optimum conditions.
Sowing when it’s too chilly makes it hard for grass to form an actively growing root system, and growing a lawn in scorching weather puts too much stress on the grass and creates higher water demands.
If you live in a cooler part of Australia, you may want to wait until the middle of spring to start your lawn. The perfect time to grow a new lawn from seed will depend on your location within Australia, so seek expert advice from your local plant nursery.
Choosing the right seed
Creating a beautiful lawn starts with selecting the right grass variety for your climate and conditions. Grass species vary greatly in durability, shade tolerance and ability to withstand cold spells. Here are five popular varieties in Australia:
Kikuyu
This grass loves heat, humidity and lots of sun. It’s a good choice when you need an ultra-durable, fast-growing grass, but it can be invasive. Kikuyu grows well in poor soils.
Couch grass
Durable, affordable and low-maintenance, couch grass creates a soft, fine leaf lawn when carefully mowed and regularly fertilised. Thanks to its vigorous underground runners, it repairs itself quickly.
Buffalo grass
Distinguished by its wide leaf blade, Buffalo grass is available in soft leaf varieties including Matilda, Sapphire and Palmetto, which all provide a lush lawn that’s robust and easy to maintain.
Zoysia grass
This warm season grass is salt-tolerant, drought resistant and loves the heat. It doesn’t need a lot of mowing or fertilising and looks terrific all year. It can take a fair bit of abuse and recovers rapidly.
Queensland Blue couch
Okay, it’s not technically a couch grass and it’s not from Queensland, either, but this grass is a great all-rounder for a home lawn. It keeps its green colour most of the year and isn’t as invasive as other grass types. It is intolerant to weed sprays, however.
