Get the lawn you need without breaking the bank.

Are you dreaming of a picture-perfect lawn, sports field, or pasture but worried about the cost?
Introducing Kikuyu Runners, the affordable way to transform your outdoor space without breaking the bank.

What are Kikuyu Runners?

Kikuyu Runners, also known as Kikuyu Roots, are the splitting of root runners of Pennisetum clandestinum (Kikuyu) into separate plants, each with its own set of roots, that when planted out, leads to increased density and coverage of your area as a cheaper alternative to instant lawn.

While instant lawn provides an immediate green coverage of an area, Kikuyu Runners require some time to grow and establish a full coverage. Typically, it takes approximately 3-4 months for Kikuyu Runners to reach their full coverage potential.

During this period, the Kikuyu Runners will undergo active growth, sending out runners and producing new shoots. These runners will spread horizontally, gradually filling in the gaps and creating a dense turf. With proper watering, adequate sunlight, and appropriate maintenance practices, the Kikuyu Runners will develop into a complete and lush coverage within the mentioned timeframe.

It’s important to note that the exact time required for full coverage may vary depending on various factors such as climate, soil conditions, and maintenance practices. Patience and consistent care are key during the establishment phase to ensure the Kikuyu Runners achieve their maximum coverage potential and develop into a healthy, vibrant turf.
