Photo of the month! No Mow Grass!

A big thank you to Turfsmart for sharing this beautiful photo. It perfectly illustrates the unique qualities of Zoysia tenuifolia, also known as No Mow Grass or Velvet Grass. As seen in the image, this grass variety remains low to the ground even when walked on, but over time, it develops a charming, bumpy architectural texture that adds character and depth, especially if left to grow naturally without intervention.

We’ve observed Zoysia tenuifolia thriving on footpaths where it’s never mowed yet remains compact and dense despite being regularly walked on. The grass’s resilience to foot traffic helps it maintain a neat, low profile, making it an ideal option for spaces where low maintenance is desired.

The deep, rich green colour and soft foliage of Zoysia tenuifolia are incredibly inviting, encouraging people to walk on it barefoot, which only enhances its dense, plush texture. This makes it a fantastic alternative to traditional lawns, especially in smaller gardens where the owner wants a low-maintenance, attractive ground cover without the constant upkeep associated with conventional turf.

It’s a perfect choice for those looking to reduce garden maintenance while still enjoying a beautiful, functional landscape. Zoysia tenuifolia is available in our unique Plant Tiles for instant full green coverage. For more information click here.
