Australia's Most Beautiful Lawn

Nara™ Native Zoysia is a true all-rounder that performs under tough conditions, without sacrificing on looks or feel.

Native to Australia, Nara™ is naturally equipped to handle hot, dry climates, humid conditions and even the cold Canberra climate.

Evolution within the Australian environment has given it some distinct advantages – Nara™ is both naturally salt tolerant and more resistant to the pests and diseases that can affect Aussie lawns. It’s perfect for coastal areas, and can be used for beach and waterfront properties.

Nara™ is an efficient water user and highly drought tolerant . It’s an ideal choice for areas with low rainfall or council water restrictions.
