Kikuyu grass will grow well in a wide range of soil types.
Kikuyu lawn can be laid at any time of the year. Very important to install the lawn on the same day as delivered. Ensure you water your newly laid lawn daily in the beginning, preferably during the early mornings, to maintain good moisture. Fertilize your lawn every 8-10 weeks in the growing seasons. Regular mowing and fertilizing reduce weed completion. Spot treat with selective weed killer if weeds occur. Timeous treatment of a weed problem avoids weed infestations which are difficult to treat.
If your lawn has overgrown – when mowing be careful not to mow more than 1/3 of the leaf length at a time as this will put your grass under stress.
