StrathAyr are proud of our fifty plus years of continuous operation as a specialist natural turf grower and supplier for projects ranging from the smallest residential lawn to large sports stadium and race track projects. As a pioneer in the turf industry, StrathAyr have a total commitment to continual improvement in all aspects of our business to ensure we continue to meet and exceed the needs and desires of our customers. Over time, the process of natural selection results in the survival of businesses, products and services that remain relevant, efficient and superior to alternatives. Just as businesses need to evolve, so do grass varieties as customers and consumers expect and demand greater performance. Across the world there has been a tremendous amount of development over many decades in the pursuit of grass types that offer drought tolerance, shade tolerance, rapid wear recovery, superior all year colour and aesthetic appeal. Australia’s long dry Summers, cool Winters and droughts can be brutal on lawns.

Tif Tuf is tough!
DAVID THOMSON, STRATHAYR
A clear and distinct leader in achieving all the elusive, desirable natural turf attributes is TifTuf Bermuda. TifTuf Bermuda is the product of almost 25 years of research and development from one of the world’s leading turf grass breeders, the University of Georgia. TifTuf has been hand selected out of almost 30,000 different Bermuda varieties, showing superior qualities in drought tolerance, shade tolerance, wear tolerance and winter colour whilst at the same time maintaining excellent turf quality and health. Natural selection is the process that has allowed TifTuf to rise to the top and inferior turf cultivars to be discarded. The name says it all – TifTuf is tough! This turf variety has a very fine leaf blade with dense growth, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications.
