Sun and Drought Tolerant
Eureka Kikuyu thrives in a sunny aspect and handles full sun. It is able to establish a strong, deep root base which helps it stand up to the hottest summer days and contributes to its good drought tolerance.

A Versatile Grass
Eureka Kikuyu Grass excels in large areas and erosion control due to its quick-spreading runners under favourable conditions. It thrives in waterlogged soils, making it ideal for transpiration zones. Perfect for home lawns, racecourses, parks, golf courses, and more, it offers high erosion control and adapts well to various environments.
Watering Guide
Once established, like all lawns, we recommend you do less frequent, heavier soakings of water. We suggest watering once per week for about one to two hours, depending on the sprinkler type. This will ensure the water travels deep into the soil and encourage the lawn roots to go deeper into the soil to help make them even stronger.
"For best results, water early in the morning to enhance water absorption and promote overall plant health."
Mowing
Mowing will depend on the area you're using it and the look you want. For residential properties, we recommend mowing 2-3 times a week in the growing season to ensure you keep the kikuyu to a nice, manicured look. For open space areas, mowing once per week in the growing season will keep the Eureka Kikuyu PBR maintained at a well-presented height.
"Prior to winter, we suggest mowing your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn a little higher than in summer."
Fertilising
We recommend fertilising your Eureka Kikuyu PBR about 4-6 times per year to ensure your Kikuyu continues to have the nutrients it needs to thrive in all situations.
We recommend using our blend that we use on our turf farms: Health Booster Lawn & Plant Food Fertiliser.
"Give your lawn a complete feed: add other elements (micronutrients & other macro- nutrients) to your fertilising program."
Pest Control
You won't have too many concerns with lawn grubs and other pests in your Eureka Kikuyu PBR grass. Again though, we always recommend keeping an eye out for signs of pests and treating immediately.
Don't stress, treat immediately with Grub Guard, or for 6 months use Aceylpran GR.
"The most common problematic grubs are Lawn Grub, which attacks the roots causing dry-like damage, and Army Grub, which targets the leaves, mainly at night from December to May, leading to scalping symptoms overnight.
Weeding
Because your Eureka Kikuyu PBR turf is weed-resistant, there won't be a lot of weeding required. However, we always recommend keeping an eye out for weeds, especially in Autumn.
Take care of them with a selective weeD killer like All Purpose Weed Control - take care of them immediately and you’ll never have a worry!
We recommend using Oxafert, a pre-emergent control that stops any new weeds germinating, and at the same time provides fertilisers to your lawn.
"A great hint is to stop weeds before they cause problems."
De-thatching & Top Dressing
If you find your lawn becoming very spongy and thick and aren't happy with the feel, then you can scalp or de-thatch your Eureka Kikuyu PBR lawn. We recommend scalping in early spring.

Pest Control
You won't have too many concerns with lawn grubs and other pests in your Eureka Kikuyu PBR grass. Again though, we always recommend keeping an eye out for signs of pests and treating immediately.
Most common grubs that cause problems is Lawn Grub and Army Grub. Lawn Grubs attack the roots of the lawn and will make the grass appear to have dry-like symptoms (only in plague portions will they cause damage). Army Grub attack the leaf of the lawn, mostly at night and most-commonly between December and May. If you have an Army Grub problem, you'll see scalping-like symptoms come up over night. Don't stress, treat immediately with Grub Guard, or for 6 months use Aceylpran GR.
