You’ve probably heard a bit about Lawn Solutions Australia (LSA) and have some idea about who we are and what we do. LSA’s primary focus is on research and development of the turf industry both locally and globally.

Today I'm sharing a video in which Jason Hodges guides us through a little of that R&D, demonstrating the work that goes in to bringing a new and relevant grass variety to Australia, and showing you just how well some of those new varieties are doing in our Aussie climate.  

“We all know the importance of research and development so we can remain leaders in our field. And that's why LSA has joined forces with The Turfgrass Group in the States along with Texas A&M and Georgia State Universities. We're talking about three of the greatest turf research and development teams in the world.

What they're doing is checking it out, making sure it works in the States, and then we apply that in Australia.”

In this video by Lawn Solutions Australia, Jason Hodges shows us several turf varieties that have been being developed over the last ten plus years. LSA have been working with also, with plots all around the country, in the hope of creating a product that customers will love and competitors won’t have.

So while the American research is really important, it’s not everything. Some of the grasses that America has loved have simply not done well here in Australia, and vice versa. In this video there is a caparison of a lot of them: Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo, Cynodon Dactylon, Zoysia Japonica, Zoysia Matrella, even Zoysia LSA Native.

A lot of work goes into bringing the best performing and most beautiful turf varieties to Australia! Check out why LSA varieties are your varieties of choice: http://www.greenlifeturf.com.au/turf-varieties/.
