LM Grass per 1m²
Product Details
LM Grass (Berea grass), also called Berea or Richmond grass, is a popular indigenous South African perennial creeping lawn grass. It forms a dense, medium-coarse, light-to-apple-green sward with soft, broad blades that feel spongy underfoot. It’s evergreen in milder climates, spreads via surface runners, and thrives year-round with slower winter growth.
Pros
• Exceptional shade tolerance — handles up to 60% shade better than most SA grasses, ideal for tree-covered or built-up gardens.
• Low maintenance: slow grower means infrequent mowing (weekly in summer, less in winter), drought/heat tolerant, and adaptable to various soils including sandy.
• Soft, luxurious feel — great around pools or for barefoot comfort.
• Eco-friendly indigenous option with good sand stabilization for coastal/inland use.
Cons
• Moderate traffic tolerance only — thins out under kids, dogs, or heavy foot traffic; not for play areas or high-use zones.
• Can’t be mowed short (keep at 30–50mm minimum, longer in shade) or it struggles; no tight, short-cut look.
• Slower to establish and fill gaps compared to Kikuyu or Buffalo.
• Lighter green color may not deliver that deep emerald punch some clients crave.
• Sensitive to heavy frost — can yellow in colder Gauteng winters; not fully frost-proof.
Best Uses
• Shady residential lawns, patios, or under trees where sun-lovers fail.
• Low-to-moderate traffic gardens, pool surrounds, or erosion control on sand.
• Mixed setups: pair with Kikuyu in sunnier spots for full coverage.
• Steer clear for sports fields, high-traffic homes, or deep-frost areas — go for options like Kikuyu.
