Choosing a new lawn is an investment that can enhance the appearance, comfort and value of your home for years to come. With several premium turf varieties available, it’s common for homeowners to ask:

Which turf is best for my home?

The answer depends on how you use your lawn, the amount of maintenance you’re prepared to do, your local climate, and the look you want to achieve.

At Rivturf, we expect these three to become the most popular premium turf varieties for Canberra, the Riverina and surrounding areas.  Each of TifTuf, Zoysia Australis, and Stampede Hybrid Buffalo offer unique benefits so every family can find a lawn which suits their lifestyle.
