Why choosing Nullarbor Couch

A top performer in wide-open full-sun spaces

Nullarbor Couch turf thrives with 5-6 hours of sunlight per day and has soft fine blades that benefit from a regular maintenance schedule. In saying this, it's an excellent choice for large acreage applications, sports fields, commercial sites and intimate home settings without large trees.

Nullarbor Couch is classed as a warm season grass and has been researched, evaluated and trialled for the past 20 years to deliver long-lasting performance in full sun areas across Australia, and in the heart of South East Queensland.

Hard wearing with high traffic tolerance

Nullarbor Couch is as tough as it's namesake, and can tolerate high foot traffic, making it an attractive choice for families with active sporting members, sports projects such as football and cricket grounds, and other recreational sites like parks and community spaces that have regular, high foot traffic.

It features a strong horizontal leaf growth habit with stolons and rhizomes that forms a dense sward resistant to wear and is fast-repairing after extreme damage.

One of the best features of Nullarbor Couch is its ability to tolerate high foot traffic from people and animals, hence its popularity across both residential and sports landscaping projects such as football and cricket grounds.

Ideal for home lawns, sports or commercial projects

Nullarbor Couch produces a very dense turf sward, that benefits from regular mowing and fertilising, and tolerates broadleaf herbicides for weed control. Sports and commercial sites often have maintenance schedules that align with Nullarbor Couch's needs, which ensures the turf is always looking it's best.

For home applications, Nullarbor Couch is the ideal grass for those that enjoy their weekly mowing session during the warmer months, and don't mind applying fertiliser 2-3 times per year.

Nullarbor Couch is worth the little bit of extra effort, and will reward you with a lush dark green lawn with a soft, fine-leaf blade that feels like carpet under bare feet.

FAQs

Is Nullarbor Couch a good choice for family backyards?

Yes. Nullarbor Couch forms a dense, fine-leaf lawn that handles regular foot traffic well, making it suitable for family yards with kids and pets. Its creeping growth habit allows it to recover from wear relatively quickly, especially during the warm growing season.

Why is Nullarbor Couch considered a premium couch variety?

Nullarbor Couch is valued for its fine leaf texture, vibrant green colour, and strong drought tolerance. Compared with older couch varieties, it produces a denser turf surface with improved visual appeal, making it popular for residential lawns and landscaping projects.

How does Nullarbor Couch perform in drought and heat?

Nullarbor Couch performs very well in hot, dry climates. As a warm-season grass, it thrives in Queensland conditions and can retain colour and resilience through extended dry periods, provided it receives occasional deep watering.

Does Nullarbor Couch recover well from wear or damage?

Yes. Nullarbor Couch spreads through stolons and rhizomes, which allows it to repair worn areas naturally during active growth periods. This makes it suitable for areas that receive moderate to heavy foot traffic.

What makes Nullarbor Couch suitable for sunny Queensland backyards?

Nullarbor Couch is a warm-season grass that thrives in full sun and hot climates, making it well suited to Queensland backyards. Its fine leaf structure and dense growth help it maintain a vibrant green appearance during long summer periods, while its creeping runners allow it to spread and recover quickly in active outdoor spaces. It performs best in areas receiving at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, where it can develop a thick, durable lawn.
