In addition to the easing of Water Restrictions to Stage 2, from September 1, Melbourne Households and Businesses can apply for a one-off, 28-Day Exemption to enable new Warm Season Lawns to be planted and established.

Warm Season Grass uses a lot less water than other grass. Couch, Buffalo and Kikuyu thrive throughout Spring and Summer on little rainfall – making them well suited to Melbourne’s changing climate. For the average Melbourne backyard, water use is likely to be reduced by 70%.

Plantmark have a wide range of Warm Season Grasses in Seed and also Pre-Grown Turf, as well as Lawn Fertilisers and Wetting Agents which are highly recommended at time of planting.

So get in early and speak to your nearest Plantmark Location on 1300 787 401 and establish your new lawns before Summer arrives.
