Is Kikuyu Grass the Right Lawn for Your Kids & Pets?

When choosing the right type of lawn for your home in Australia, it’s important to consider the needs of your family and pets. Children and pets can be hard on lawns, so select a grass variety that can handle the wear and tear any traffic will bring. Here, StrathAyr explores two of the best lawn options for families with kids and pets.

Kikuyu Grass

Kikuyu grass is popular for families with kids and pets due to its durability and hardiness. It can withstand heavy traffic and damage from pets, making it an excellent choice for active families. Kikuyu grass is also easy to maintain and can recover quickly from damage, making it ideal for families who want a lush and healthy lawn without much upkeep.

TifTuf Grass

TifTuf grass is another excellent choice for families with kids and pets. It’s a new hybrid Bermuda grass specifically developed to be tough and durable while providing a soft and lush feel underfoot. TifTuf grass is highly resilient and can recover quickly from damage, making it an excellent choice for active families. It also requires less water than other grass and has a higher shade tolerance making it a more environmentally friendly option.

Other Considerations

When choosing a lawn for your family and pets, it’s important to consider factors beyond just durability. Some grass types can irritate pets if they ingest it, while others may be uncomfortable for kids to play on. Consider your area’s climate and soil conditions, as different grass varieties will thrive in different environments.
