Garden Master - Spring 2023

If your garden is basking in sunlight, Bermuda grass is your best bet. Its fine texture and vibrant green colour will create a luxurious, golf course-like appearance. It requires half as much water as Kikuyu and grows vigorously in hot summer months. But the quicker it grows, the more frequently it needs to be mowed. Consider investing in a petrol brush cutter such as the Trimtech 43cc Brush Cutter. 1. Bermuda Grass | For Sun-drenched Elegance Kikuyu stands out as a South African favourite due to its exceptional durability. Perfect for sunny spots, Kikuyu grass is drought-resistant and is known for its rapid growth, and you will need to invest in a sturdy lawn mower. We suggest the Trimtech 2200W Lawn Mower. It can also flourish in semi-shade if allowed to grow longer. Its dense, green carpet is perfect for picnics and playtime 2. Kikuyu Grass | The Sun Lover Buffalo grass thrives in both sunny and shaded areas. It's hardy, low-maintenance and forms a thick, lush carpet, making it ideal for family gatherings in the garden. Though it's a low-maintenance grass and doesn't need frequent mowing, frequently trimming your garden edges will help maintain a well-groomed look. The Trimtech 900W Electric Trimmer is just the tool for the job. 3. Buffalo Grass | The Versatile Option LM Berea grass is your go-to grass for those shaded areas in your garden.

Therefore, a leaf blower such as the Trimtech 3300W Blower Vac will come in handy to keep your LM lawn free of fallen leaves and debris. 4.
