Wintergreen

Wintergreen is a hybrid green couch developed in Australia, it has high colour retention throughout the cold winter months and a fine, dense foliage. When used in the right situations, it can make for a wonderful lawn.

If you want stunning wintergreen lawn in Brisbane here are a few things to keep in mind.

• Requires mowing every 10-14 days
• Requires 8-10 hours of direct sunlight each day
• Requires fertilization to stay at its best

If your requirements differ, we recommend Sir Walter, a low maintenance, shade and drought tolerant soft leaf buffalo.

Installing your Wintergreen Lawn

We suggest Wintergreen is laid onto a prepared, levelled surface on top of 50-100mm of good quality topsoil, a sandy loam available from your local garden centre will be suitable. Once you have your new soil spread and flat, it is an ideal time to incorporate some extra nutrients and water crystals into your topsoil, apply Sir Turf Launcher at a rate of 30g per 100m² and rake it through gently. If you smooth your initial topsoil, you do not need to roll your Wintergreen after installation.

When you receive your turf, we recommend it is laid immediately. Starting from one edge, place it down in an alternating brickwork pattern. To carry the turf around either use a wheelbarrow, or fold it in half, and carry the slab close to your chest with one arm under the turf. Any irregular bits, or small areas can be cut in using a machete, cane knife, shovel or other cutting implement.

If all of that work does not sound like your thing, why not take advantage of our laying service, it is only $1.65 per m² ($220 Minimum). Our expert turf installers arrive on the day of your turf delivery, spread any required fertiliser, install your turf, cut-in those finniky edges and roll your lawn with expert precision.

Watering your Wintergreen Turf

Once your Wintergreen has been laid, it is very important it is watered immediately, especially in the hot climate of Brisbane turf needs to be well watered during the establishment period.

We recommend the following watering schedule, please check with your local council to ensure you comply with appropriate water restrictions.

Timeframe	Watering Frequency
On the day	Immediately after installation.
1-7 days	1 hour morning and evening.
7-14 Days	1 hour morning or evening.

The establishment watering phase is very important, both to cool and hydrate your lawn, and to charge any water crystals you applied before installation.

If you have any questions about installation, or watering your turf, please contact us via phone, e-mail or use our enquiry form.
