Australia’s Most Elite Hybrid Bermuda (Couch Grass)
TifTuf for Sport & Public Spaces
Most elite sporting surfaces in Australia are couch grass surfaces. Hybrid couch (Bermuda) grasses in recent years show superior qualities and are the go-to surface for installation on new and improved sporting turf facilities. For sports fields looking to install the best grass for their facilities, the best couch grass is TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda.
The Number 1 Turf Solution for Sports Turf Surfaces is TifTuf
TifTuf uses 38% less water than other Bermuda varieties (independently verified by the University of Georgia and USDA trials).
TifTuf was the first turfgrass to be awarded Smart Drop Certification for its exceptional drought tolerance – They called it DT1 during trials for a reason! This makes TifTuf the perfect solution for councils and sports clubs where irrigation budgets and water restrictions are real constraints.

AusGAP Certified – The Only Sports Couch Grass available with Genetic Purity Assurance
Accept no substitutions when turfing your project. Turf Certification is critical to ensuring the turf you are supplied with possesses the genetically superior traits the grass was bred for. All TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda produced in Australia is required to be AusGAP Certified (Australia’s Leading Turf Certification Program). This means TifTuf is subjected to inspections, field reports and stringent quality protocols to ensure it stays pure and of the highest quality.
Superior Turfgrass Breeding Program
TifTuf is a hybrid Bermuda grass developed by the world-famous TifTon Campus at the University of Georgia. This turf research and development program is led by Professor Dr. Brian Schwartz. The turfgrass program at Tifton has pioneered new superior species of Bermuda grass for many decades.
Dense, fine-leafed coverage provides a cushioned playing surface that recovers quickly from wear. TifTuf has incredible regenerative ability, meaning it bounces back fast after games or training.

Drawing on the best traits of elite buffalo genetics, Stampede offers improved disease resistance and reduced thatch, helping it stay healthier and looking better for longer, even under challenging conditions. This makes it a smart choice for both residential and commercial areas where superior performance is essential.
Buffalo Turf Trials
Stampede Hybrid Buffalo is an interploid hybrid St. Augustinegrass (buffalograss; Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze). Researchers developed it using embryo rescue technology by carrying out controlled pairwise crosses between a polyploid buffalograss (chromosome number: 2n = 2x = 30) and a diploid buffalograss (chromosome number: 2n = 2x = 18).
During trials, while cultivar performance varied across different sites, one consistently outperformed the rest, excelling in all key areas. Stampede Hybrid Buffalo Grass proved to be the best-performing cultivar during winter in some very cold and harsh environments. Therefore, it’s performance was a crucial factor in it’s selection for many turf producers. Remarkably, Stampede showed no signs of disease during the humid summer, while disease affected most other buffalo cultivars. Additionally, it boasted an impressive appearance and excellent harvest quality.
Freshly cut Stampede Hybrid Buffalo Grass
Stock Expansion
The next step in releasing this new grass to the market has involved stock expansion. When a new variety enters Australia through quarantine, we receive only a few runners of plant material to expand from for testing.
This year, LSA has set up propagation facilities for planting stock. LSA will supply this stock to foundation farms for expansion. This process will ensure members receive supply for production. LSA expanded all material supplied to members from the few pieces of trial stock that entered quarantine in 2022.
LSA engaged the services of the Australian Genetic Assurance Program (AusGAP) to monitor and enact protocols to ensure the purity of this variety every step of the way. As you can imagine, the process of creating supply for a new grass variety is slow and tedious. However, it is essential to ensure genetic purity. This step ensures the grass performs consistently as it has throughout trials.
Zoysia Australis is a tough and hardy, medium-textured zoysia grass with a beautiful blue/green leaf.

Zoysia Australis was bred by the world’s best
Dr Brian Schwartz bred Zoysia Australis at the world famous University of Georgia, Tifton Campus. Dr Schwartz is renowned as the scientist behind the release of the highly successful TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda. Zoysia Australis arrived in Australia back in 2018 with a range of other elite zoysia grasses. Zoysia Australis was selected for commercial release after extensive trials in a range of conditions and applications. This is a zoysia grass that offers significant benefits and a real point of difference from the other turf varieties available to consumers.
Independent Australian Trials by World’s Leading Turf Research Institute
In a recent independent trial conducted by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) ‘Screening new Zoysia turfgrasses under Australian conditions‘, Zoysia Australis showed some exceptional qualities.
For speed of establishment, Zoysia Australis (cultivar ZJ-19-017) was one of the fastest cultivars to reach establishment in the first 12 months of evaluation reaching 95% of establishment.
Supply is now available across many regions of Queensland, Greater Sydney, the Hunter Region, the Central Coast and South Coast of NSW, as well as Perth, WA. Please contact your local turf supplier for the latest availability and updates.

100% genetically pure
As TifTuf was selected from a large gene pool based on certain traits, maintaining the genetic purity is crucial. To ensure this, the University of Georgia has bred all of its foundation material (thousands of acres) from one plant!
The science behind TifTuf
TIFTUF™ was bred as one of 27,700 experimental bermuda grass genotypes. In 1999, ninety of the most promising genotypes were planted under a rainout shelter and evaluated through 2001 under deficit irrigation. Under this drought stress, TIFTUF™ (tested as experimental name DT-1) maintained its quality and green colour the longest.
Prior to its release, TIFTUF™ had been further tested in 19 drought-stress trials, 2 sports field wear tolerance trials, utilizing the Cady traffic simulator, and 4 irrigated, non-stress trials at The University of Georgia, The University of Florida, North Carolina State University, Oklahoma State University and Texas A&M University as part of the Federal Specialty Crop Research Initiative (SCRI) grant. This has resulted in TIFTUF™ becoming the University research standard by which all drought tolerance will be determined.

Why is BRF Zeon Zoysia known as Sir Grange in Australia?
With every success there will always be imitators that don’t have equivalent products themselves claiming to have a “just like” or “same as” products.
The Name Zeon
Zeon or Zeon Zoysia is an expired trademark name, under Australian law any grass can be sold as Zeon. Even Couch and Kikuyu or any inferior Zoysia. In recent times there have been many attempts in Australia to sell inferior grasses under just the name Zeon. Buyers need to be aware that any attempt to do so is not sanctioned by the owner and breeder of the original BRF Zeon, and the only original ITGAP certified BRF Zeon Zoysia in Australia is sold in Australia as AusGAP Certified Sir Grange Zoysia.
Blade Runners Farms (BRF) USA have gone to extensive lengths to protect the integrity and genetic purity of their BRF Zeon Zoysia product. They have engaged the leading Turfgrass genetic assurance program called ITGAP (International Turfgrass Genetic Assurance Program) and only grass grown under the trademark of BRF Zeon Zoysia in the USA is covered by the breeder guarantee and ITGAP Certification.
Unfortunately some non-licenced turf producers in Australia are attempting to fool the public and claim to have original Zeon Zoysia grass even though they may market their own zoysia varieties as market leaders, their action to pass of their own Zoysia varieties as Sir Grange just goes to show the impact Sir Grange is having on the Australian zoysia market. Some have done this by having created a deliberate typo in some instances by using ‘Zion’, named what they claim is Zeon Zoysia the same as famous US golf course to give the impression it is the same variety that is used on that very famous course, when in fact the grass type used on that course is a cool season seeded mix due to the climate.
Blade Runner Farms do not want to see its BRF Zeon Zoysia product’s integrity or purity compromised in any way by the activities it observed from unlicensed turf producers in Australia.
A decision was made to import 100% pure, ITGAP Certified BRF Zeon Zoysia Matrella, (most common Zeon types are Japonicas) to Australia via the Australia Quarantine and Inspection Service. This extensive process that was complete in 2016. Lawn Solutions Australia were the only group of turf producers chosen to licence and grow BRF Zeon Zoysia certified plant material. It was then decided to ensure consumers get exactly what they pay for to release it in Australia under the Sir Grange Zoysia trademark.
Sir Grange Zoysia is the only licenced and pure source of BRF Zeon Zoysia in Australia. Consumers wanting the pure product that is breeder guaranteed and AusGAP certified need to insist on Sir Grange by name, or run the risk of receiving an inferior turf type. When purchasing your Sir Grange Zoysia lawn, make sure you are dealing with a genuine Lawn Solutions Australia member or re-seller. This product is not available anywhere else. All Sir Grange is covered by the Lawn Solutions warranty and AusGAP Certification. For more information contact your accredited Lawn Solutions Australia supplier.
As a member of Lawn Solutions Australia house of brands, your purchase of Sir Grange Zoysia will also be covered by our nationwide warranty, provided Lawn Solutions Australia’s directions to full establishment are achieved.
Exclusive to Lawn Solutions Australia accredited growers, RTF – or Rhizomatous Tall Fescue Grass – is a self-repairing grass that produces a thick, even, soft lawn and thrives in cold climate regions such as Tasmania, Victoria and cooler parts of New South Wales, southern Western Australia and South Australia.
RTF Fescue features a leaf texture distinct from normal tall fescue varieties, being much softer to touch, gentle even on bare feet.
Provides a thick and even lawn
Soft underfoot
Lush dark green colour
Ideal for home gardens in cooler climate regions
A self-repairing and heat tolerant lawn grass
More than 10 years ago, turf scientists developed RTF Fescue Grass as a superior tall fescue variety with rhizome—rich plants, whose rhizome roots fill in bare spots in a thinning lawn. A rhizome is a horizontal plant stem most often found underground, which are valued because they send out new roots and shoots, allowing new plants to propagate at a distance from the original plant.
Tall Fescue grass is also more drought tolerant than most other species due to its deep roots. RTF Fescue is one of the deepest rooting cool season grasses available, with roots travel down to 2 metres tapping into water normally not available. Whilst it does not to have the drought tolerance of warm season varieties such as Sir Grange and Sir Walter Buffalo, it is more drought tolerant than most cool season grasses.
Lawn Solutions Australia has observed how cool season grasses like Tall Fescue would maintain turf quality under drought conditions, and evaluated them after reducing water by 15% and 30%, way below what is considered ideal to maintain quality. RTF Fescue Grass performed better than any other cool season grass during the hottest months of the year, and better than Kentucky and Texas Bluegrass, perennial ryegrass and other tall fescues highly ranked by the National Turfgrass Evaluation Program.
It is this tolerance to reduced watering that also enables RTF Fescue to tolerate heat more than other cool season grasses.

Beware of Rhizomatous Tall Fescue Grass imitators
Since that breakthrough discovery, the Barenbrug Research Program is continuously developing new Rhizomatous Tall Fescue Grass varieties. Lawn Solutions Australia constantly monitors and only uses the latest and most advanced types from this research program.
Other companies have tried to imitate Barenburg’s grasses, but university and independent testing has proven that Barenburg’s is a cut above the competition, being the one grasses to exhibit significant rhizomes and rhizomatous activity.
