Are you looking for a lush lawn? A durable sports field? Is your landscape shady? Are you close to the ocean where salt spray is an issue? We’ve got a grass for that.
Every landscape has unique requirements. That’s why Hawaiian Turfgrass grows several different varieties of grasses, each with its own benefits and characteristics.
Zeon Zoysia

Zeon is highly drought tolerant and has low fertilizer requirements. It is considered a lower maintenance grass here in Hawaii. Zeon was developed in Texas by Bladerunner Farms and has the unique distinction of being the grass used on the fairways of the Olympic Golf Couse during the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. Zeon was even featured in the New York Times for its role in helping the Olympic Committee create a more sustainable Olympics. Zeon is recommended for lawns and golf courses.
El Toro Zoysia

El Toro thrives in full sun and tolerates light shade. It was developed by the University of California – Riverside.
Captiva St. Augustine

The grass has a deep dark green color, and it shows resistance to the Southern Chinch Bug.

SeaStar Seashore Paspalum
Paspalum GrassSeaStar® Paspalum thrives in salty, sandy environments. It stands up to salt spray and salt can be used to kill weeds. SeaStar provides a luxurious, fine-textured look.

The grass heals quickly from damage and wear.
