Kikuyu with Green Oasis
Kikuyu is one of the more popular lawn varieties that we install, and comes highly recommended by our professionals. With slightly better regenerative qualities than Couch, it makes for an excellent alternative for playing surfaces and areas that see a lot of wear. In addition, the broader leaf of Kikuyu provides a softer surface. With both budget friendly and higher graded Kikuyu available, all of our Kikuyu installations come with our quality guarantee.
Kikuyu’s broad leaf makes it a popular choice not only for its excellent hardy qualities, but also for its pleasing aesthetic.
