We at Grass Experts are proud to offer carefully designed landscapes crafted to suit both our commercial and residential
clients’ preferences while prioritizing sustainability. We follow our carefully planned procedures and below is what you may expect from our experienced landscapers:
- Site Clearance – Our team will ensure that the ground is properly cleared and prepared. Making sure that the surface from weeds, old turf, plants, debris, rocks and stones. They can also remove any hard surfaces, such as decking, pavers and slabs.
- Levelling of the ground – The next step includes site levelling where needed. The landscapers will add or remove soil to level any uneven patches or reduce the gradient of a slope.
- Topsoil Addition – After levelling of the ground is complete, the next step is to cover the ground with a layer of topsoil which will ensure that the roots are well established.
- Turf or Grass Laying – The specialist will lay the turf or grass rolls, without gaps in between rolls to get that uniform lawn look.
- Lawn edging – The landscaper will form the edges neatly to achieve an aesthetic result that fits with the rest of your garden features – flower beds, rockeries or patio.
Kikuyu Grass
Kikuyu is a soft, fast growing grass with a deep root system. It needs regular maintenance – especially in the summer months in the Western Cape – for instance regular mowing and watering. In winter it does not go into a complete dormant period and instant lawn can be planted right through the year.
Kikuyu has a fairly high wear ability and ability to recuperate well (because of its deep root system). It however has a very poor shade tolerance and tends to invade the rest of your garden if not maintained well. Kikuyu lawn can be established either by instant lawn (sods), runners, plugs or seeds.

Buffalo Grass
Buffalo grass (Stenotaphrum secondatum) is a creeping surface runner. It is a much hardier, coarser lawn with a short, broad leaf and is a very slow grower. Buffalo goes into a dormant period during winter, but keeps its colour during the colder period. It is advised to plant this grass during the hotter seasons. Buffalo lawn can be planted by instant lawn as well as runners. Runners must be planted fairly close together, for it takes quite a long period to cover.
It needs less maintenance – one does not have to mow it so often and due to its shallow root system, it can survive with less water. It is a bit more drought resistant, but tends to turn a reddish colour during the dry seasons if not maintained well. It nevertheless revives quite fast with a small quantity of water. It can be planted in full sun as well as semi shade areas. It forms a dense, course mat and must not be mowed too short. It is an indigenous grass that grows well in sandy areas and is less invasive than most other grasses i.e. next to paved areas and flower beds. Contact us for an instant roll installation quotation.
Cynodon Grass
Cynodon dactylon, commonly known as “bloukweek” or “Kaapse kweek”, is a fine grass with a deep root system and is very invasive and difficult to get rid of. It is a drought resistant and heavy traffic tolerant grass that can lie dormant for a long time and tends to take over from other grasses when neglected.
It grows rapidly during the hotter seasons, but goes dormant during the colder months and turns a straw colour during winter. It turns green again in spring. To obtain a beautiful lawn, high maintenance is required.
Cynodon does not grow well in shady areas and during extreme cold periods.
It is very suitable for low maintenance and heavy traffic areas, such as parks, play areas and along roadsides. Cynodon is popular in coastal areas for its toughness and quick recovery. Cynodon mixed with Kikuyu works well for sports fields, school grounds and play areas. Contact us for an instant roll installation quotation.
LM Berea Grass
LM also known as Berea lawn (Dactylocenium australe) is an indigenous grass that is mostly found in the Northern provinces. It is suitable for heavy shaded areas where other grasses tend to struggle, but also grows well in full sun.
It is a surface runner, that grows vigorously during summer, but goes into a complete dormant period during winter. Therefore it must never be mowed too short.
LM is a soft grass and does not tolerate heavy traffic. Its texture is similar to Kikuyu lawn and can be combined in areas with full sun as well as deep shade. It is a loosely knitted lawn that grows well in sandy soil. Contact us for an instant roll installation quotation.
