Couch Grass

Windsor Green Couch Grass, exclusive to Finelawn, is a premium warm-season turf variety ideal for the northern New Zealand climate. It is a variety of Cynodon dactylon (commonly known as couch grass or Bermuda grass), selected for its fine leaf texture, deep green colour, excellent wear tolerance, and low maintenance requirements. It is a hybrid couch well-suited for residential lawns, sports fields, and commercial landscapes, where a top-quality finish is desired.
