  • Frequently Asked Questions

  • How Do You Treat Eureka Kikuyu Grass in the Winter?

    Here are a few tips to keep your Eureka Kikuyu lawn healthy during the winter: Reduce mowing height — Winter mowing helps ensure your turf gets sufficient sunlight. This necessity means you should reduce the mowing height by a notch or two to increase exposure to sunlight, which helps the grass receive adequate nutrients to keep it green in the winter. Avoid fertilising — Since this is a fast-growing grass, adding fertiliser may undermine its sunlight absorption. Uneven sunlight absorption results in an unsightly, uneven lawn colour. Moderate watering — Your Kikuyu lawn needs water during the winter, but make sure you pay attention to how your lawn reacts. Overwatering can hurt the roots and affect the overall health of your lawn. Controlling winter weeds — While Kikuyu grass is resilient, winter reduces its ability to fight weeds. This lowered resistance to weeds means it’s important to control them long before they overwhelm your lawn.

    Is Kikuyu Grass Good in Shade?

    Kikuyu grass should be grown in full sun since it doesn’t thrive in shady areas. This attribute is especially important when choosing Kikuyu turf for a newly planted yard. You may have lots of sunlight at the beginning, but the area becomes shady as the plants grow. Over time, the shade may limit the amount of sun getting to your lawn, and the lawn will gradually start to become patchy.

    Does Kikuyu Grass Die in Winter?

    Eureka Kikuyu turf usually turns yellowish in winter, but it continues to grow. Keep the tips shared above in mind to maintain your Kikuyu lawn during the winter months.

    Will Kikuyu Turf Take Over Weeds?

    Kikuyu grass is more aggressive than most other grass, which means there’s a greater chance it will over other plants in your garden, including weeds.

    What Is the Best Fertiliser for Kikuyu Lawn?

    While Kikuyu turf doesn’t usually need fertiliser, applying nitrogen-rich fertiliser can stimulate fast growth. Well-fertilised Kikuyu lawns develop deep roots and remain strong during cold periods. It is best to use a slow-release fertiliser for your Kikuyu lawn.

    How Often Should You Mow Kikuyu Lawn?

    Due to its vigorous growth, Kikuyu grass needs regular mowing to maintain a lush, healthy lawn. This grass does best when mowed to a height of 3 to 4 centimetres throughout the year. During the warmer months, mow your Kikuyu lawn every 7 to 10 days to a height of 2 to 5 centimetres in areas with plenty of sunlight or light shade, or 5 to 7 centimetres in heavily shaded areas. During colder months, Kikuyu lawns require mowing every three to six weeks.
