Which Turf is Right For Me | Shade

Shade

When purchasing a new lawn the first question you need to consider is how much shade does the area get?

Most turf species will survive in full sun however, if the area receives more than 2-3 hours shade then you will need to stay away from a couch lawn and choose more shade tolerant lawns such as Sir Walter Buffalo Grass and Zoysia.

Sir Walter Turf Buffalo Grass

Sir Walter Buffalo Grass is one of the most shade tolerant varieties. Sir Walter Buffalo has a soft broad leaf and only requires 2-3 hours full sun or longer periods of filtered sun to survive.
