There's an art to landscaping a beautiful lawn... and turf-grass is the foundation upon which a well designed landscape is created. Just as the background enhances the subject of a fine painting by blending elements of texture, proportion and colour, a perfectly selected turf-grass provides a stunning backdrop against which flowers, plants, shrubs and trees may be appreciated. Tinamba Turf proudly introduces such a selection... EMPIRE Zoysia - A Living Masterpiece.
