Choosing the Right Lawn – Kikuyu vs LM Grass for Pretoria & Midrand Gardens

Looking to lay fresh lawn grass in Pretoria or Midrand? At Quick Lawn, we offer two of South Africa’s most trusted and versatile grass types: Kikuyu and LM Berea. Understanding the differences between these two varieties can help you choose the perfect fit for your residential or commercial landscape.



Kikuyu Grass – Tough, Fast-Growing & Sun-Loving

Kikuyu grass is a popular choice in South Africa for a reason:


  • High durability – Ideal for high-traffic areas like gardens, schools, parks, and sports fields.

  • Fast-growing – Establishes quickly, giving you instant green cover.

  • Thrives in full sun – Performs best in bright, open areas.

  • Low maintenance – Responds well to regular mowing and feeding.


If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution for large areas that receive plenty of sunlight, Kikuyu is a perfect choice.



LM Berea Grass – Lush & Shade-Tolerant Beauty

Also known as LM grass, LM Berea offers:


  • Excellent shade tolerance – Great for properties with trees or limited sunlight.

  • Soft texture – Comfortable underfoot, making it a great choice for gardens and play areas.

  • Low water requirements – Once established, LM grass requires minimal watering compared to other varieties.

  • Elegant look – A deep green colour that brings elegance to any landscape.


Choose LM Berea if you want a lush, green lawn in a shaded or semi-shaded area.
