Kikuyu Instant Grass/ Lawn
Kikuyu Instant Grass / Lawn
Kikuyu grass is exceptionally easy to maintain. Furthermore, it grows and spreads quickly, making it ideal for replacing existing lawns or covering bare patches. In areas where dry spells and water restrictions are common, this grass thrives beautifully. Particularly in hot, sunny regions with mild winters, Kikuyu provides the perfect ground cover for your garden.
Transplanting Kikuyu Instant Lawn
Propagating Kikuyu grass through transplanting is straightforward. While it flourishes throughout the year, spring planting offers optimal results. The process itself is simple: direct the runners to maximize coverage, and secondary runners will soon sprout, creating a denser lawn.
Care and Maintenance
Water frequently at the beginning, but reduce frequency as the grass becomes established (otherwise you’ll need to mow too often). Avoid mowing too short or too frequently; space mowings several days apart. Unlike many grasses, Kikuyu doesn’t require fertilizer—it grows well in any soil type. Interestingly, in livestock fields, you’ll notice distinctive grass mounds where the grass has flourished from animal droppings.
Availability: All year | Supply and installation available in Randburg, Roodepoort, Johannesburg, and Pretoria.

lM Grass
LM Grass
LM grass—also known as Durban grass, coat grass, or sweet smother grass—is native to South Africa, found primarily along the KZN coast and in Mozambique. Under ideal growing conditions, it forms a dense, dark green lawn. What’s particularly appealing is its versatility: the grass performs well in full sun, shade, and semi-shade alike. Though it has a creeping growth habit, it’s less invasive than Kikuyu. Additionally, LM grass tolerates heat exceptionally well and can recover from drought and heat stress through its spreading nature.
Transplanting LM Instant Lawn
LM grass excels in home lawns, office parks, rough golf course areas, and shaded spaces. When transplanting, start by removing existing grass completely, ensuring you extract underground runners as well. Once the new grass reaches 4 cm in length, mow it at about 4 cm, generally once weekly.
Important Care Notes
In frosty winter areas, avoid mowing during frost to prevent cold damage to the upper foliage. Meanwhile, LM grass benefits greatly from an irrigation system. Although relatively drought-tolerant once established, it requires regular watering until the root system is fully developed. Without consistent moisture, the grass will go dormant and eventually die during extended dry periods. As a bonus, its creeping nature makes it useful for covering bare patches.
LM Grass Characteristics
- Indigenous to South Africa
- Bright green color with coarse leaf texture
- Poor tolerance of extreme drought and cold (higher water usage)
- Good tolerance of shade
- Suits a wide range of soil types
- Fast establishment rate with fair wearability
- Frost sensitive
Steps To Laying Instant Lawn
Measuring and Ordering Easy Lawn or your team will measure the installation area, then order the lawn 2–3 days before delivery (after soil preparation is complete).
Preparing the Soil Dig or hoe the soil to 100–150mm depth, sloping it away from your house to prevent drainage issues. Remove all rocks, clods, and roots. At this stage, you can apply lawn fertilizer or manure if desired, then lightly water to settle the soil. (We also offer soil preparation services.)
Installing Your Lawn Installation must happen immediately upon delivery. After laying, water for 20–30 minutes. Start with the turf’s longest straight line (along a path or driveway). Pack edges tightly together without stretching, avoiding gaps and overlaps.
Watering Routine Water daily for approximately two weeks after planting so the grass can establish strong roots. (Note: Due to water restrictions, water between 6pm and 6am.)
Avoid Heavy Traffic If possible, keep foot traffic minimal for 3 weeks after installation.
Mowing Don’t let the lawn grow too long. Feel free to contact us for mowing advice tailored to your grass type.
