Cut short or unmown, this grass can do it all! | Sir Grange Zoysia with Charlie Albone

Published 2020-07-30
The Sir Grange Zoysia in this video has never been mown after being installed approximately 6 months ago. It provides tremendous contrast to the shorter grass, also Sir Grange, that has been cut at what you would consider a normal backyard height.

 The unmown look is perfect for difficult to maintain areas, such as raised areas which require the carrying of equipment up steps, and very steep slopes around the landscape.

 Even after several years unmown, Sir Grange will not get higher than about 30cm, and will not grow an ugly seed head or get out of control at different lengths. What you will get is a beautiful native looking grass that has high shade and drought tolerance and won’t be invaded by weeds. All of this on an area you won’t have to mow!

 Another fantastic option is mowing Sir Grange at a normal height for your yard, and then leaving it unmown around the edges or around trees, creating a fantastic natural border.

 Unmown Sir Grange is great for the environment as it saves on emissions with less mowing, requires far less fertiliser and you won’t have to water it near as much. All of this combined with an aesthetically pleasing surface.

    How do you dethatch the long zoysia? After 3or 4 years thatch would surly become an issue Zoysia my favourite grass at the moment, top pick for my front yard reno

    Necroing an old video comment. If you let the Sir Grange grow that long will it be adversely affected if it is mown short again? (Obviously following the 'only cutting a third of the lead at a time')

    Hi there, I'm looking to put some pavers and want this zoysia in the gaps of those pavers, please advise if i need to buy and sprinkle the seeds or should I buy some pots and sow the grass instead? If I choose to do the latter, will it spread and fill up the gaps by itself?
