For many on the Sunny Coast, a lush, green lawn represents the pinnacle of outdoor living—a vibrant space for relaxation, play, and gatherings. Given our ideal weather conditions, crafting that perfect lawn seems like it should be a breeze. However, for those plagued by allergies, this idyllic vision can quickly transform into a sneezing, eye-watering nightmare.

The good news is that not all grasses are created equal when it comes to allergenic potential. If you've found yourself stuck in the cycle of allergy-induced discomfort while trying to maintain your dream lawn, Rosemount Turf has a range of turf varieties designed with your needs in mind.

Understanding Grass Allergies

Grass allergies are typically triggered by pollen, a fine powder released by many plants including grass to fertilise other plants of the same kind. When inhaled by someone who's allergic, it can cause symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, and a runny nose. The key to reducing these allergic reactions is to choose grass types that produce less pollen or have pollen that's less likely to become airborne.

Rye Vs Couch

Rye grass and Couch differ significantly in their allergenic potential. Rye grass is notorious for its high pollen production, making it one of the primary culprits for grass pollen allergies, especially during its flowering season. Its pollen is easily dispersed by the wind, leading to widespread allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. On the other hand, Couch, with its dense growth and fewer flowering seed heads, tends to produce less pollen. As a result, while no grass is entirely hypoallergenic, Couch is often considered a more allergy-friendly option compared to Rye for allergy sufferers.

Top Allergy-Friendly Lawn Types from Rosemount Turf

1. Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo: A top choice for many Sunshine Coast homeowners, Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo is not just resilient and shade-tolerant but also boasts a low allergenic potential. Its broad leaves mean it produces less pollen, and the pollen it does produce is less likely to be dispersed by the wind, reducing the chances of triggering allergic reactions.

2. TifTuf Bermuda: This hybrid Bermuda grass is not only drought-tolerant but also a good choice for those with allergies. Its dense growth means fewer flowering seed heads, which in turn means less pollen production.

Tips for Allergy Sufferers

Choosing the right turf type is just the first step. Here are some additional tips from Rosemount Turf to help allergy sufferers enjoy their gardens:

  • Regular Mowing: Keeping your lawn mowed can reduce the number of seed heads and, consequently, the amount of pollen produced. However, if you're allergic, consider wearing a mask while mowing or asking someone else to do it.
  • Watering: Watering your lawn in the early morning or late evening can help settle the pollen, reducing its chances of becoming airborne.
  • Ask Us: If you're unsure about the best turf type for your needs, consult with the experts at Rosemount Turf. We can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation.
