Why Choose Kikuyu Grass for Your Lawn?

When it comes to selecting the perfect grass for your lawn, few options offer the versatility and benefits of Kikuyu grass. Known for its vibrant green hue, hardiness, and rapid growth, Kikuyu grass has become a favourite among homeowners and landscapers alike. At Invicta Lawn, we’re passionate about helping you create a beautiful, thriving lawn. Let us guide you through the many reasons why Kikuyu grass might be the ideal choice for your outdoor space.

The Benefits of Kikuyu Grass

Durability and Resilience

Kikuyu grass is renowned for its ability to withstand high foot traffic, making it perfect for busy households, recreational areas, and commercial spaces. Whether you have children playing, pets running around, or frequent outdoor gatherings, Kikuyu grass can handle it all.

Rapid Growth

One of Kikuyu’s standout features is its fast-growing nature. This makes it an excellent choice for areas that need quick ground cover. It also has a dense growth pattern, which helps prevent weeds from taking hold.

Drought Tolerance

Originating from East Africa, Kikuyu grass is naturally adapted to warmer climates. It thrives in sunny areas and requires less water compared to other grass varieties, making it an eco-friendly option that’s perfect for the UK’s varying weather conditions.

Low Maintenance

Kikuyu grass requires minimal upkeep once established. Its hardy nature means you’ll spend less time on mowing, watering, and pest control, allowing you to enjoy your lawn without the hassle.

Vibrant Appearance

The bright green colour of Kikuyu grass stays lush throughout most of the year, giving your lawn a consistently fresh and inviting look.

Care Guidelines for Kikuyu Grass

To ensure your Kikuyu lawn thrives, follow these simple care tips:

• Mowing: Regular mowing during the growing season (spring and summer) will keep your lawn neat and encourage healthy growth. Aim to keep it at a height of around 30-50mm.

• Watering: While Kikuyu is drought-tolerant, occasional deep watering during dry spells will help maintain its lush appearance. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to fungal issues.

• Fertilising: Use a balanced fertiliser twice a year, in spring and autumn, to promote strong growth and vibrant colour.

• Weed Control: The dense growth of Kikuyu naturally suppresses weeds, but if necessary, spot-treat weeds with a suitable herbicide.

• Aeration: Aerate your lawn annually to improve soil health and ensure optimal growth.
