Installation
Zoysia Australis is a densely matted grass with exceptional tensile strength and extensive rhizome and root systems, making it incredibly durable and ideal for a variety of conditions.
Important Tips for Installing Zoysia Australis:
- Install Immediately: Lay the turf as soon as possible after delivery to ensure its vitality.
- Prepare the Soil: Use a bed of at least 200mm of quality sandy loam (a high sand content is essential).
- Boost Growth: Apply Lawn Solutions Australia Lawn Launcher at the recommended rate to promote root establishment and moisture retention.
- Compact the Turf: Roll the turf to improve soil contact and enhance root growth.
Irrigation Schedule for New Zoysia Australis:
- First 21 Days:

- Increase to 30 minutes during high temperatures (above 30°C).
- Next 14 Days:
- Reduce irrigation to every second day.
- Once Established:
- Water only when the grass appears dry, and minimise irrigation during cooler months to avoid waterlogging.
By following these steps, you’ll set your Zoysia Australis lawn up for long-term success, ensuring strong roots, lush growth, and enduring beauty.
Mowing
Zoysia Australis features a soft, dark green leaf that thrives when mowed to a height of 15–40mm. In shaded areas, letting it grow slightly longer can deliver even better results.
Here are some key tips for mowing Zoysia Australis:
- Make sure your mower blades are sharp to avoid tearing the grass.
- Avoid cutting more than one-third of the leaf blade at a time, unless dethatching.
- For the best results, dethatch in late winter, just before the grass emerges from dormancy.
- Always remove clippings after mowing to reduce thatch build-up and keep your lawn looking its best.
Following these tips will help your Zoysia Australis lawn stay healthy and beautiful year-round!
Fertilising
Zoysia Australis has been carefully bred to thrive with significantly fewer nutrients compared to traditional warm-season grasses.
In fact, it only requires about one-third of the fertiliser typically needed for standard lawns, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.
Here are some essential tips for fertilising Zoysia Australis:
- Use Lawn Solutions Australia fertiliser at a rate of 10g/m² or 1kg/100m².
- Apply fertiliser between early spring and mid to late summer, only if needed.
- Avoid fertilising in autumn; instead, wait until spring for the next application if required.
- For enhanced colour in autumn and winter, consider using liquid iron, natural colorants, or micronutrients instead of nitrogen-based fertilisers.
These practices ensure your Zoysia Australis lawn stays lush, healthy, and vibrant while minimising environmental impact.
Weed & Pest Control
Zoysia Australis naturally possesses allelopathic characteristics, a unique trait where the grass releases natural chemicals that inhibit the growth of weeds and other unwanted plants.
This built-in defence helps to keep your lawn healthier and reduces the need for frequent weed control.
While this trait significantly limits the growth of competing species, occasional weed management may still be required.
Key tips for weed and pest control in Zoysia Australis lawns:
- Most commercially available chemical weed and pest control products are safe to use.
- Always read product labels carefully to ensure compatibility with Zoysia Australis.
- For the best results, consult your Lawn Solutions Australia grower for advice on recommended products and application techniques.
With its natural weed-suppressing abilities and proper care, Zoysia Australis makes maintaining a pristine lawn easier than ever!
Shaded Areas
Once established, Zoysia Australis thrives in areas with limited sunlight, where many other grass varieties would struggle to survive.
Its impressive shade tolerance is a natural characteristic of Zoysia grasses, further enhanced through selective breeding to create Zoysia Australis.
Important Tips for Shady Areas:
- High Shade Tolerance: Zoysia Australis can flourish in areas with up to 70% shade, making it ideal for tree-lined gardens or sheltered spaces.
- Avoid Overwatering: Shaded areas tend to retain moisture longer, so be cautious not to overwater to prevent fungal growth or other issues.
- Limit Traffic: Reduce heavy foot traffic in heavily shaded areas to help the grass maintain its health and appearance.
- Quality Soil Matters: Ensure at least 200mm of quality soil beneath the turf to support strong root growth and overall vitality.
With proper care, Zoysia Australis delivers a vibrant, resilient lawn even in low-light conditions, ensuring shaded areas remain green and inviting.
