GREEN COUCH & OTHER TURF VARIETIES FOR USE IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND

At Marian Lawns, we supply quality turf for a variety of applications throughout Central and North Queensland.

In addition, we're in the process of developing and growing several other native grass varieties to be seeded in late 2019.

Each variety of turf is unique, and requires specialised care however, as all of them require regular de-thatching, we recommend mowing to a shorter length to minimise the risk of grass diseases.
