Want a Thick, Lush Lawn? Could Brunnings Kikuyu Lawn Seed Be the Answer?
How to Grow a Thick, Lush Lawn with Brunnings Kikuyu Lawn Seed
Walking barefoot across a soft, green lawn—it’s one of life’s simple joys. But if your patch of grass is looking more sad than sensational, it might be time to rethink your lawn solution. Enter 
Brunnings Kikuyu Lawn Seed—the answer to creating a robust, green haven in your backyard.
Why Choose Kikuyu Over Other Lawns?
Some lawns demand constant watering, endless fertilising, and a full-time gardener to keep them looking good. Kikuyu isn’t that type of grass. It’s built for tough conditions, making it perfect for people who want a gorgeous lawn without the constant effort. Unlike some high-maintenance varieties, this one establishes itself quickly. It repairs bare spots on its own and flourishes with minimal water.
Brunnings Kikuyu Lawn Seed goes a step further. It’s coated with TurboCote, giving it a serious head start. There’s also a nursery cover of turf annual ryegrass, which pops up fast—within 7-10 days—to give you quick greenery while the Kikuyu settles in for the long haul.
A Green Lawn Without the Stress
If you've ever seeded a lawn before, you know the frustration of slow, patchy growth. What makes Brunnings Kikuyu different is its ability to establish a protective layer early on, which acts like a safety net while the Kikuyu germinates underneath. Over time, the ryegrass fades out, leaving you with a uniform, rich lawn that’s strong enough to handle foot traffic, backyard cricket, and the occasional overexcited dog.
How to Achieve the Best Results
- Prepare Your Soil: Give your lawn the best chance by removing weeds and loosening the topsoil. Raking in some quality fertiliser won’t hurt either.
- Seed Evenly: Spread the seed evenly using a hand spreader or by hand. Aim for about 1kg per 100m²—it goes further than you think.
- Water Wisely: Light daily watering keeps the soil moist for the first couple of weeks. Once established, Kikuyu needs far less water than other grasses.
- Mow When Needed: Let the seedlings grow to about 5cm before trimming them back. Once thriving, cut regularly to keep things looking fresh.
Is Kikuyu Right for You?
If you want a lawn that takes care of itself and can handle heat, dry weather, and backyard wear and tear, then yes, Kikuyu is just what you need. It suits busy homeowners and beginner gardeners alike, requiring less work than most other options. Plus, its ability to repair itself makes it perfect for families, pets, and barefoot summer lounging.
Give Brunnings Kikuyu Lawn Seed a go, and in no time, you could be enjoying a lawn that not only looks fantastic but is strong enough to handle whatever life throws at it.
Happy Gardening!
