Why Choose Sapphire?

Sapphire has a tight mat which leaves little room for growing weeds. This type of grass also grows fast across the ground and copes well in areas with high traffic. If you are going to use Sapphire in high-traffic areas, you should water and fertilise them more than the usual frequency.

Regular mowing is likewise recommended for this type of grass to about a height of 35-60mm for best results. Mowing regularly will limit thatch build up and will reduce runners. This will ensure that your Sapphire lawn will stay healthy and greener.
