Looking for a top-quality turf that will make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood? We have the answer.

Palmetto Buffalo Grass is the world’s #1 selling buffalo grass, and it’s no wonder! Its tough but soft leaf is perfect for home lawns and commercial areas throughout South-East Queensland. Plus, it has excellent winter color to keep your property looking great all year round!

But that’s not all that makes Palmetto the best choice for your lawn. This turf also out-competes weeds once it is established, so you can put down those dreaded weed killers for good! And because it grows slower than other turf varieties, you’ll spend less time mowing and doing maintenance – meaning you’ll have more time for the things that matter.
