Posted on March 8, 2017 by Melissa - Lawn Installation Blogs, North Queensland Lawns

As you can imagine, different grass varieties act quite differently in different soil types and climates. Some are shade tolerant, salt tolerant, frost tolerant, drought tolerant. Some love a more acidic soil, some not so much. There is no one perfect grass variety to suit every location. If you want a healthy lawn, then you need to start with the best quality turf and the best turf variety for your needs and local conditions.

Start with a Lawn Solutions Australia turf supplier.
