  2. https://aviewturf.com.au/ BASIC MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR YOUR KIKUYU LAWN • Kikuyu is a warm-season grass, hugely popular in Australian lawns and sports fields. • It originated in East Africa, but now it is cultivated in several other parts of the globe, including Australia. • It is used across the nation due to its ability to grow rapidly. • It forms a dense, lush carpet-like cover and quickly gives a green look to your lawn. • However, just like any other turf, Kikuyu also requires regular maintenance. SOME ESSENTIAL KIKUYU GRASS CARE TIPS ARE DISCUSSED HERE

  3. https://aviewturf.com.au/ SOIL PREPARATION • Soil preparation plays a significant role in the successful thriving of Kikuyu grass. • It mainly involves removing vegetation like weeds and old grass from this soil. • Once the area is clear, you can aerate the soil or lose it using a garden fork or a rototiller. • This step improves drainage and allows the roots of Kikuyu grass and palmetto buffalo grass to penetrate the soil easily. SOIL PREPARATION • Kikuyu grass has a very high water requirement, and regular watering is needed for good health. • You must water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep grass roots. • This method will make Kikuyu grass more resistant to drought-like conditions. • Watering early in the morning is recommended to minimise evaporation. • Over-watering is not recommended, as it leads to shallow root growth and an increased risk of diseases.

  4. https://aviewturf.com.au/ • FERTILISER APPLICATION TIPS • Fertiliser is essential for the health and wellness of Kikuyu grass and palmetto buffalo grass. • Applying balanced fertilisers with the correct ratio of NPK or Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium is recommended. • This promotes healthy green foliage and a robust root system. • You can fertilise the Kikuyu lawn early in spring or late in summer. • MOWING-RELATED GUIDELINES • Regular mowing is crucial to maintaining your Kikuyu lawn's health and overall looks. • You will have to set the mower blades to a height of 2 or 3 inches to prevent scalping. • This also encourages deep-root growth. • You must not cut more than one-third of the grass. • Thatch build-up should be avoided, as it increases susceptibility to pests and diseases.

  5. https://aviewturf.com.au/ • WEED-CONTROL TIPS • Weeds in the Kikuyu lawn can remove all the nutrients, water and sunlight. • Keeping them in control is mandatory, and this means weed growth should be eliminated either manually or by using herbicides. • Herbicide application-related instructions must be followed strictly to avoid any damage to the grass.
