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.

Installing your new turf can be easy!
- Prior to laying turf check that the soil surface is not too hot. Lightly wet the soil down if it is hot.
- Install your lawn immediately upon delivery. Turf is degrading on the pallet, and it is recommended that all turf should be laid within 4 hours of delivery in summer/spring & 12 hours in winter/autumn, failing to do so can lead to pallet burn.
- Begin installing turf along the longest straight line, such as a driveway or footpath
- Butt and push ends against each other tightly, without stretching.
- Stagger the joints in each row in a brick-like fashion, using a large sharp knife to trim corners.
- On slopes, place the turf pieces across the slope.
- After installing the turf, roll the entire area, this will improve the contact between the turf and soil and help with levelling.
- Begin watering the lawn within 30 minutes (in Spring/Summer) and 60 minutes (in Winter/Autumn) of installation. Turf is a living plant that requires ground contact and moisture.
- During the first two weeks, avoid heavy or concentrated use of your new lawn, this gives the roots an opportunity to firmly knit with the soil and ensures that the turf will remain smooth.
If you have any questions, are having lawn installation problems or are after some lawn solutions Australia, please feel free to contact our friendly staff.
Your turf supply will be loaded onto a pallet, and most of our trucks have forklifts on board that will unload the turf and place it as close as safely possible to your prepared area. If you are not home to receive your turf but would like it placed somewhere specific, please leave out some kind of marker (such as a paint mark on the ground, sign or cone) or call our friendly office staff so they can give instructions to our driver. If no instructions are left, the driver will most likely place the turf onto your driver or wherever he/she feels most appropriate.
We use a unique pallet-less-lift-off system, which means the pallet stays on the truck instead of being left on site. We deliver to Gold Coast, Brisbane, Ipswich and everywhere in-between.
