Lawn Grass Removal & Weed Control: The Smart Start to a Healthy Lawn
Feb 19, 2026 · original
Whether you are installing a new lawn, giving your existing one a makeover, or maintaining it, lawn grass removal and weed control are essential. Here at Anco Turf, we have seen several beautiful outdoor spaces falling flat because they didn’t do the preparation work. Why Lawn Grass Removal Actually Matters? A lot of people reckon they can just roll out new turf straight over their old lawn or weeds. Sure, it is quicker, but friend, you may pay for that shortcut down the track. Give Your New Turf a Fair Go Old grass, weeds and their root systems are all competing for the same water, nutrients and space. Leave them lurking underneath your new turf, and they will mess with how it establishes. You will end up with patchy spots, disease issues and roots that just don’t take hold properly.

Is Kikuyu Lawn Grass Shade Tolerant?
Jan 16, 2026 · original
So you are thinking about laying Kikuyu grass at your place? Fair enough – it is found everywhere in Victoria. You will spot it in backyards, at the local park, and on every second sports ground you drive past. But it is worth asking what happens when Kikuyu doesn’t get full sun all day. Why is Kikuyu so Sun-hungry? Kikuyu is a warm-season grass, which basically means it wants more sun. When it gets plenty of sunshine, it spreads like crazy, getting nice and thick, and showing off that deep green colour that can make your mates jealous. Take the sun away, and the whole story changes. Photosynthesis slows right down, its growth gets a bit sad and patchy, and instead of spreading thick and lush, it just tries to stay alive. That is why the shaded bits of a Kikuyu lawn often look thin and scraggly compared to the areas getting full sun. Here is the thing: Kikuyu really wants at least six to

Nov 4, 2024 · original
Kikuyu grass, scientifically known as Cenchrus clandestinus, is a hardy grass species native to East Africa.
