What Makes Palmetto Stand Out?

With nearly three decades of experience in the turf industry, we understand the importance of offering high-quality products that meet the diverse needs of property owners. Here's why Palmetto stands out:


  • Allergy & Family Friendly: Designed to be gentle on the skin, making it ideal for families.
  • Weather Resilience: Highly tolerant to changing environmental conditions—from drought to frost.
  • Easy Maintenance: Requires minimal mowing & watering to keep it looking lush and vibrant.


Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass from Ryans Turf in Nowra provides a solution that offers both beauty and functionality. We're here to guide you through the selection process, ensuring you make the most informed choice for your property.

Slow Growth for Less Mowing

Compared to other types of buffalo grass, Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo lawn grows slowly, so you can keep your mowing to a minimum. We suggest mowing every two weeks in the summer and every four to six weeks in the winter. That’s a pretty easy mowing schedule to stick to, making this buffalo grass a breeze to maintain.



Another advantage to Palmetto Soft Leaf Buffalo is that this non-invasive grass doesn’t disrupt garden edging and beds like other varieties do. With this grass laid, you can prevent overgrowth, free up time and protect the unique aesthetics of your outdoor spaces.

Thank you to Ryans Turf. Jackie was very helpful and knowledgeable when we purchased our Sapphire turf as we were advised great for kids to play on.  It made it easy for us to drive from Nowra as we placed our order over the phone and they cut it that day for us to pick up in the afternoon. The grass was so fresh, lush and thick. Thank you so much. Mark and Kel.

I am so impressed with the whole team at Ryans Turf Nowra. I requested a quote for 40m2 of Kikuyu Turf and received a response from Jacqui within the hour, along with a very competitive price.


I confirmed my order with a very jovial and helpful, Peta, in the office and received the product within two days and at the precise time that I had been given. The quality of the turf is unbelievable. (Like it was just harvested on the day of delivery). The delivery driver could not have been more helpful. He had a very friendly manner and placed the turf exactly where I requested him to place it. Don't look anywhere else. These guys are great. Thank you.
