ABOUT LM grass

Richmond lawn is one of our favourites. It is an indigenous lawn that is shade tolerant and easy to maintain but should not be mowed too short.

LM Berea has a reputation for the highest shade tolerance out of all the species. LM Berea likes the leaf to have some length and this lawn is great for semi shaded areas and around pools as it has a very soft spongy appeal, this grass has a very soft blade and is a lighter shade of green than most lawns. LM Berea has a medium traffic tolerance and like buffalo should never be mowed too short. As it is also a creeper it can be combined with a grass such as Kikuyu to fill in the shady areas. It is also a fast grower and although it slows down in winter it will still grow in this season.

LM MAINTENANCE

LM grass can be planted in the semi-shade and sunny side of your garden but is very sensitive to frost if it is in the open. LM grass is a surface runner and cannot be cut too short. It cannot withstand too much traffic and is much more sensitive than Kikuyu.
