Kikuyu Lawn
Kikuyu grass is extremely easy to take care of. It grows and spreads quickly and is the perfect turf plant to replace a lawn or cover up bare patches.
This type of grass is the ideal solution for dry spells, areas of high foot traffic and water restrictions. In areas where the climate is hot in summer and mild in winter, this is the ground cover you want in your garden.
TRANSPLANTING KIKUYU INSTANT LAWN
Kikuyu grass is very easy to propagate through transplanting. While it flourishes throughout the year, it will benefit from spring planting.
Planting Kikuyu runners is very easy and you can direct the runners to maximise coverage. Secondary runners will soon sprout and make the lawn denser.
Water often at the beginning, but less frequently as it becomes establish otherwise you’ll need to mow your lawn too frequently.
Kikuyu doesn’t like to be mowed too often or too short, so space mowing some time apart. It also doesn’t need fertiliser, as it grows well in any type of soil. In livestock fields, you’ll notice interesting grass mounds where it’s flourished from the animal droppings.

lM Grass
LM grass, also known as Durban grass, coat grass and sweet smother grass, is indigenous to South Africa, found predominantly on the KZN coast and Mozambique. It forms a dense, dark green lawn under ideal growing conditions. LM grass performs well in full sun, as well as in shady and semi-shade conditions. This grass has a creeping growth habit but it’s not as invasive as Kikuyu.
LM grass is will tolerate heat and can recover from drought and heat stress through its creeping growth habit.
TRANSPLANTING LM INSTANT LAWN
LM grass works well for home lawns, office parks, rough areas on golf courses, and shaded areas. When transplanting your grass, start by killing off and removing existing grass, making sure you get to the underground runners as well.
Once the grass is 4 cm long, mow it at about 4 cm, generally once a week. Do not mow the lawn in frosty areas during winter to avoid exposing the upper leave growth to frost, causing cold damage.
LM grass does well with an irrigation system. If water is scarce the grass will go dormant and brown and die after an extended period of drought. So, despite it being relatively drought tolerant when it matures, it needs regular watering until the root system is established.
As a creeping grass LM can be used to cover bare patches.

Steps To Laying Instant Lawn
- Measuring and ordering – Easy Lawn or the client needs to measure the area where the lawn will be laid. Lawn needs to be ordered about 2 – 3 days before delivery, after soil preparation has been done.
- Preparing the soil – The soil needs to be dug or hoed to a depth of between 100mm to 150mm, making sure to slope the soil away from the house to eliminate drainage problems. All rocks, large clods and roots need to be removed, and lawn fertilizer or manure can be applied, if necessary. The ground can be lightly watered, to settle the soil. Easy Lawn does preparation as well.
- Installing your lawn – Installing the lawn needs to happen as soon as it has been delivered. After it has been installed, one needs to water the lawn for about 20 – 30 minutes. Turf should be installed along the longest straight line, like a path or driveway, first. Without stretching the turf, one needs to pack the edges tightly together, avoiding gaps and overlapping.
- your lawn – every day for about two weeks after new lawn is planted so that it can get rooted. (Just a note: Because of water restriction, watering is to be done between 6pm and 6am)
Avoid heavy traffic – If possible for 3 weeks after new lawn has been laid.
Mowing Lawn – Lawn should not grow too long. Feel free to ask for advice with regards to mowing.
