From Family Backyards to Elite Sports Fields: Why TifTuf is Australia’s Most Versatile Turf

Lawns need to be bred tough for our harsh climate. TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda is the product of 25 years of R&D by leading turf scientists determined to find a top-quality grass that could tackle extreme drought – without compromising on shade-tolerance, wear, and winter colour.

Tuff by name, tough by nature

TifTuf is dense and hard-wearing, making it an ideal choice for backyards and sports fields. It’s self-repairing and low maintenance, and holds great colour when the winter frosts hit. Whether it’s a business park, school, streetscape or sports facility, TifTuf delivers the performance that commercial landscapes demand. 

In Canberra we have found TifTuf to be an excellent alternative to the traditional cool season varieties, with it’s fine leaf and dark green colour aesthetically it meets the brief, but it’s the water saving and longevity that keeps landscapers and home owners coming back for more.

In Wagga Wagga both the lawn fanatics, and active families, love TifTuf for it’s versatility.

TifTuf has found it’s stride in some of the following commercial applications as well:

• West Wyalong Golf Course where they have installed TifTuf greens and tees with great success
• Tumut, Batlow and Tumbarumba football fields where TifTuf performs well even under a sprinkling of snow
• Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens where Wagga Wagga City Council have been replacing the old kikuyu areas with TifTuf and it is working well even under the established tree cover
• Tumut Caravan Park used TifTuf around their new cabins on the river bank
• School Ovals and playgrounds in Canberra and surrounding areas where TifTuf offers a tough, soft and self repairing option

Taking water smart to a whole new level

In times of perennial drought, water comes at a premium. TifTuf tops the charts when it comes to using less water, offering superior drought tolerance on a fraction of the water required by other varieties. It can also take root in less than seven days, minimising the initial water-intense period.

We grow it – and all our turf – using only recycled water so it’s sustainable from the start.
