Looking for a classic, fine-leaf lawn that thrives in those sunny Central Coast spots? Winter Green Couch might just be the variety for you.
Winter Green Couch is a popular choice, valued for its neat appearance, excellent ability to bounce back from wear and tear, and its love of sunshine. A budget-friendly option too, this particular Couch variety boasts better colour during the cooler months compared to older varieties.
If you want a tidy, resilient lawn for a sun-drenched area, Winter Green Couch turf is definitely worth consideration.

Low: Not suitable for shaded gardens or areas with significant tree cover.
Beyond the basics, Winter Green Couch has specific traits that make it appealing for particular Central Coast settings…
The most noticeable characteristic is its fine, delicate leaf blade. When maintained well, this creates a dense, carpet-like surface that looks neat and formal. If you appreciate a closely mown, tidy lawn aesthetic for your property, the fine texture delivers beautifully.
This cannot be overstated: Winter Green Couch thrives on sunlight. It needs those open, sun-filled spots typical of many Central Coast backyards to power its growth, maintain density, and fuel its impressive wear recovery.
The “Winter Green” name points to a key advantage. While all warm-season grasses slow down and can lose colour in winter, this variety has been specifically selected for its ability to hold onto its green hue better and for longer during the cooler temperatures, compared to common couch grasses.
A: It genuinely needs full, direct sun for at least 7 hours per day as a minimum for optimal health and density. It will thin out and struggle significantly in shaded areas.
A: It offers better winter colour retention than standard couch varieties. However, it’s still a warm-season grass, so growth will slow, and you might see some colour fade during prolonged cold periods.
A: Its maintenance is best described as moderate to high. To keep that fine-bladed appearance looking its best, regular mowing is essential.
Due to its dense growth, it can also build up thatch over time, potentially requiring dethatching every few years.
