Turf Supply & Underturf Soil Gold Coast
Caring for new turf is crucial to ensure it establishes well and thrives in the Gold Coast, Queensland climate. Here’s a concise guide for Barren 2 Bliss customers to maintain their new lawn, tailored to the turf varieties you offer (e.g., Palmetto Buffalo, Sir Walter Buffalo, Empire Zoysia, Sapphire Buffalo, QLD Green Couch, and Defender Hybrid Bermuda):
Mow for the first time around 3–4 weeks, once the roots have anchored (test by gently tugging the turf). Set the mower to a high setting (e.g., 35mm for buffalo grasses like Sir Walter or Sapphire, 20mm for QLD Green Couch or Defender Hybrid Bermuda).
Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height at once to avoid stress.
Fertilize every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a slow-release lawn fertilizer (e.g., NPK 20-0-10). Avoid fertilizing in winter when growth slows.
For buffalo grasses, use a fertilizer low in phosphorus to prevent thatch buildup.
By following these steps, Barren 2 Bliss customers can ensure their new turf establishes quickly and remains lush and healthy in the Gold Coast climate. If you need specific care tips for a particular variety, let me know!
