- Sunlight: Ensure your turf gets the right sunlight for its variety (e.g., 2–3 hours for Sapphire, 8 hours for Wintergreen Couch). Trim overhanging branches if needed.
- Drought: During water restrictions, prioritize deep watering for drought-tolerant varieties like Empire Zoysia.
- Rainy Seasons: In wet periods, reduce watering and ensure proper drainage to prevent fungal issues, especially for buffalo grasses.
General Advice
- Don’t Overwater: Soggy soil can lead to root rot, especially in shade-tolerant varieties like Sapphire Buffalo.
- Check Root Growth: After 6 weeks, roots should be 5–10cm deep. If not, increase watering depth or check for soil issues.
- Seasonal Adjustments: In winter, reduce mowing and watering as growth slows, but don’t let the lawn dry out completely.
