TRANSFORMING AUSTRALIAN LAWNS WITH OZBREED
04 Sep 2023
Is a genuinely no mow lawn now a possibility? The answer is yes! Zen Grass Zoysia, in its natural state, doesn't necessitate yearly mowing.
Visualise a lawn that undulates, creating a tranquil, Zen-like ambiance in your garden. Imagine a dense, low-maintenance turf that significantly diminishes weeds and fills in swiftly. Picture a versatile grass that can be manicured with a bi-monthly mow for a traditional short lawn appearance or left natural, requiring mowing only every two to three years, to create a wavy, lush green carpet. Welcome to the world of Ozbreed Zen Grass® Zoysia. 
This unique grass variety boasts practical advantages, reaching a minimal vertical height, exhibiting good wear tolerance, and recovering from damage effortlessly due to underground rhizomes, making it an optimal choice for any gardener seeking a low-maintenance option. For amenity areas, from roadways to office surroundings, to real estate developments and council parks, Zen Grass Zoysia could save billions in lawn upkeep. This high-performance lawn is cost-effective to install - simply spread mulch like any landscape garden, and plant small pots or tubes. 
The lawn looks equally appealing as it "grows in" compared to a fully covered lawn, and the mulch assists in weed control. It's easier to water and experiences less transplant shock compared to turf on hot days. Weeds can be selectively sprayed if desired, or a wick wiper can be utilized to eradicate weeds easily, as they typically grow taller than the grass. However, once the lawn is covered, it generally outcompetes most weeds.
Traditional Japanese Temple Grass (Zoysia tenuifolia) is admired for its appealing undulating appearance. However, it's often slow to cover, weak in drought, and delivers poor performance. Zen Grass® Zoysia, conversely, fills in quickly, often within nine months, mows better, and rarely suffers from dieback, providing you with a lush, green lawn promptly. 
Recommended planting at a rate of 4 to 6 plants per square meter, Zen Grass® Zoysia thrives in most soils, has moderate to good shade tolerance, adores full sun, and displays natural resistance to disease and insect damage. Its deep green hue consistently remains vibrant, adding a touch of tranquillity to courtyards, residential yards, and office environments.
Now, amenity and residential landscapes can opt not to mow, saving funds from ever-diminishing maintenance budgets for other crucial tasks.
