Hard-wearing kikuyu, bred for Victorian conditions
Premium Eureka Kikuyu VG is the one we point people at when the yard takes a hammering: kids, dogs, a nature strip everyone walks across. Its runners travel above and below ground, so worn patches repair themselves, and it has a finer leaf than common kikuyu with better colour through the cooler months. It's also the cheapest of the four, which matters on a big area.
Not the cheap kikuyu, and backed in writing
Eureka Kikuyu VG is a named, protected variety, not generic kikuyu: a finer leaf, and better performance through the cooler months when ordinary kikuyu yellows off and stops recovering from wear. Ours is grown in Victoria by a Lawn Solutions accredited grower under AusGAP inspection, and comes with a 10-year Product Warranty Certificate, emailed to you once it's in the ground.

Common questions
How often should I water it?
For the first 2 to 4 weeks, water regularly to help it establish and develop its root system — the soil under the lawn should be damp, not dry. After that, once every 7 to 10 days is fine.
Will it keep weeds out, and what if they appear?
Kikuyu is a creeping grass, so once it's established it's very good at crowding weeds out. If some do come through, hand weeding is usually the best fix for spot issues. Kikuyu isn't exempt from herbicides, so you can also work a winter grass killer into your routine — apply at the end of winter or the start of spring for the best result.
How do I top dress and fertilise it?
If you're levelling out bumps, use washed sand. For everything else a sandy loam like our turf loam is the better choice, because it carries some organic matter as well as levelling — no more than a centimetre at a time, with the grass tips still showing. Then fertilise at the start of each season with Lawn Solutions Premium Fertiliser, which suits kikuyu as well as the buffalo varieties.
