Turf Installation Projects in Echuca

Transforming the look and feel Of Moama Waters Holiday Park

We’ve been fortunate to work on a number of turf projects at caravan parks over the years and have seen the way an instant lawn can transform the look and feel of a caravan park.

Over the past decade, we’ve installed acres upon acres of Eureka Premium VG Kikuyu at Moama Waters, a turf variety that will ensure grass surfaces are robust enough to sustain busy holiday park traffic and camping activity for the long term.

We’ve installed turf on all 70 of their ensuite sites, a number of powered sites, around their new villas and also around their pool and waterslide areas.

Moama Beach Turf Transformation Project

Moama Beach – We love an opportunity to give back to our amazing community, and in 2018 we had a red hot reason to jump for joy, delivering farm fresh pallets of instant luscious lawn to one of the most prominent patches of our EM town, the Moama Beach.

The final canvas, complete with new BBQs and seating area is a sight to behold!

Congratulations and a huge thank you to the Murray River Council parks and gardens team for their commitment to this project which has enhanced the usability of this public open space and made our mighty Murray River more accessible for EM locals and visitors to our amazing little river town.

There is also a picnic shelter with a BBQ, bar tables and picnic style furniture, a low level bridge crossing, as well as an aquatic wetland area with submerged planting, accessible footpaths and not to mention some awesome landscaping and instant lawn thanks to our team at Coolabah.

Depending on the time of year, your new instant lawn will be ready for its first mow after about 4 weeks. You’ll know your lawn is established when its root system is attached enough to prevent you from pulling it away from the ground and you have given it a couple of mows.

Buffalo and Couch are two of the most popular choices of turf varieties in Echuca and are both sought after for their all round performance and durability, in particular, their low water requirements, drought tolerance, ability to self repair if damaged and of course their gorgeous good looks!

Couch grasses perform best in areas with full sun access, needing a minimum of 5-6 hours in direct sun to flourish.

In contrast, Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo’s broad leaf means it is able to absorb sunlight more readily and can thrive of a minimum of 3-4 hours of direct light, making it one of the most shade tolerant turf types on the market.

Couch grass varieties have a superior repair response to damage than Buffalo, but its aggressive growth habit means higher maintenance.

Both have a solid tolerance to drought and should only be watered when needed. If you need more help deciding which grass type is right for you, check out our blog
