TifTuf is a type of lawn that has been carefully engineered and designed to minimise our impact on the environment. With natural resources depleting due to global warming and the effects of climate change on the environment, we must be cautious with our water use.
is an innovative type of lawn that is environmentally friendly and the green option for landscapers.
Genetically bred in the
United States of America, TifTuf is 100% genetically pure and derived from approximately 30,000 Bermuda lawn varieties. This type of turf has set the industry benchmark for lawn given its environmental benefits and enhancements.
TifTuf Bermuda is a desirable choice for the following reasons.
- Drought tolerance: Conserving water is more important today than a decade ago. A precious resource that is being affected by global warming, using less water is ideal. TifTuf requires 38% less water than other lawn varieties which makes it suitable for regions where droughts are common. TifTuf does not require watering during the Summer months unless the turf is installed in the sandbelt region. If the lawn browns, it will quickly recover to lush green with normal rainfall.
- Minimises energy use: When TifTuf turf is correctly installed around your property, its dense sward has a pleasant cooling effect. It helps to reduce the need to cool your home with air-conditioners, fans, coolers and other items that consume electricity, produce toxic gasses and increase your utility bills. The design of the turf ensures that the heat is absorbed before it enters the property.
- Produces oxygen: Plants absorb carbon dioxide during the day and produce oxygen into the environment. Installing TifTuf turf around your property is a healthy option for your family and pets. This helps you contribute friendly gasses into the atmosphere for a pleasant environment.
- Cools the environment: Established TifTuf turf greatly reduces heat. TifTuf is known for absorbing heat and cooling the outside area. The temperature of this type of turf is approximately 10oC less than bare soil, and 20oC than pavers or concrete. Compared to an air-conditioner, TifTuf turf cools the environment by a factor equivalent to an 8.75 tonne air-conditioner (without the negative environmental effects produced by electricity and high operating costs).
- Mains the ecosystem: TifTuf helps promote the local ecosystem. As a natural source, this turf becomes a breeding ground for insects and animals. The environment relies on all members of the ecosystem to function effectively. TifTuf helps to create a safer source for prime vegetation and promotes the development of good bacteria in the environment. In addition, healthy TifTuf lawn helps act as a barrier during the bushfire season.
- Pollution reduction: To help combat the emission of harmful pollutants and gasses, TifTuf helps to trap dust and smoke particles for fresher air. This helps clean the air as carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide are trapped by the lawn’s dense swards. This is the best natural filter available without acquiring any other equipment parts!
