Characteristics
|
|
Low Water Use
 Windsor Green is by nature a lawn that can survive on low amounts of water. It is categorized as a
warm season grass which means it thrives in our hot climate. It also means it is well suited to growing with
low amounts of water. Its slow growth means it requires less water making it a responsible choice to conserve water. Remember, once established Windsor Green is extremely drought tolerant.
Low Maintenance
Windsor Green can be described as a semi dwarf variety of lawn meaning less work for you. Windsor Green
requires less scarifying, less edging and is less aggressive than any other couch grass available in South
Australia. Because of this there is far less chance of garden invasion making it easier to manage around
garden areas. Windsor Green was specifically developed as a low maintenance lawn so it’s perfectly suited
for the home. |

Hard Wearing
Windsor Green is hardy in almost all full sun conditions and is extremely hard wearing. Its dense carpet like growth allows it to withstand
high amounts of traffic. Because Windsor Green is such a natural at withstanding this wear, the home cat
or dog problem is of little consequence. It is perfect for high traffic areas and anywhere where a low maintenance and very low water use lawn is required.
Self Repairing
Windsor Green is a self repairing lawn. In the event that Windsor Green is damaged, it repairs itself with its fine non-aggressive root system enabling it to recover from wear and damage quickly without having to replace
sections of the lawn.
Superior Year Round Colour
Windsor Green retains its green colour all year round on the Adelaide Plains.
Pet Resistant
Unlike some lawns, Windsor Green is very resistant to dog and cat urine. Its root system allows it to recover
from damage from cats and dogs. |

Maintenance

Watering
Renown lawn specialists all agree that Couch requires less water than Kikuyu. Once Windsor Green is established, it will require a minimum amount of water to maintain it. It is able to do
this for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is a warm season grass and therefore thrives in warm, dry conditions.
Secondly, it is able to store water in its rhizomes (root system) meaning the soil can dry out without the grass
wilting. |

Fertilising
We have a specialized fertilizer program available for all our lawns. Click here to access our Fertiliser Program.
Mowing Windsor Green should be maintained at 10-15mm high during spring, summer and autumn, then 20mm high
during winter. You can use either a conventional rotary mower or a reel type roller mower. You will need an edge trimmer to keep the edges tidy.
