Sure could well do, have a building project coming up and have a section where I am tossing up whether to render on blue board or use some sort of…

I planted Sapphire in our shady section under the tree and it did really well. Quite soft but not as fine as the Zoysias.
Out the front I ended up planting…

I would have thought Empire is more shade tolerant than Nara, maybe the same. In the brochure it says Empire is "Good in moderate shade". Apparently Santa Anna couch is…

I would think Empire Zoysia would be the good other option.

I just found some photos which were taken the following Spring in October having been planted in Autumn. Still looked ok I think, but as mentioned I don't think this…

I never found it prickly and it was very soft under feet, particularly when first layed. Much softer than buffalo. For our front lawn I ended up trying Kakadu buffalo…

When it was new it was a really nice grass. Afterwards it tended to seed quite a bit and I don't think we mowed it enough. With that said it…

Very nice! Love the native garden as well. Thanks for sharing.

We have had both, Ceaser Stone Organic White/Raven and Corian Glacier White.
The ceaser stone is great, looks nice, feels like stone, but can chip and hard to or cannot…

ok thanks I'll give you a call.

Our Island bench is 3.3m including 60mm end panels. We have two banks of ~700mm draws, 600mm dishwasher, 770mm double sink unit and 450mm bin unit. I'd definitely be going…

Just noticed this thread... great looking kitchens!
Thanks for sharing, keep them coming.

Can anyone advise where is the best place in Sydney to get brushed aluminium or stainless steel kick plates / boards at the moment for DIY?

I've had our Nara turf down for about 8 weeks now, there have been some weeds pop up but they pull out easily. Apart from the orange rust, which by…

Some bad news for our lawn. It has turned orange

From what I have read it is some sort of orange mould or fungus called "rust…

That sounds great. I noticed mine is already rooting down and still looks great.
Where can fit 346 sq m of turf these days!!??
I hope…

Yeah, I am expecting it to lose a bit of colour over winter. I read the Fu soil prep but must admit I was a bit lax on the soil…

For those who are interested, after considering Empire Zoysia I finally went with 60 m2 of Nara Zoysia due to the similar properties but being a native, slightly different colour…

Thanks for the reply that is a really good comparison given you have both the
Sapphire and EZ. I agree from what I've read the EZ is overall softer and…

Ok I have narrowed our selection down to Sapphire, Kakadu, Nara or Empire Zoysia.
I am leaning towards Nara but I am concerned about shade tolerability.
I have just checked…

Many thanks for the reply Beatrix. I am starting to think talking to the suppliers is perhaps a bit misleading sometimes.
I have worked out that we are getting 5…

I was speaking to a supplier in Sydney today about EZ and they said that it will be "prickly" and I should go for Sapphire or other soft leaf buffalo…

I am having second thoughts on the Zoysia's and Nara as someone commented that they will be more like a bowling green and fairly firm but soft, rather than a…

Just to revive an old post. Does anyone have any updates on their experience with Nara Turf?
My short list is Empire Zoysia and now Nara Zoysia. Next on the list…

PM sent regarding our experience.
I have been told that they have some very good site supervisors so when it comes time for building their finished product can be very good.…

Just been told that Zoysia grasses are good for very hot areas like NT and WA but have problems in the cold and take forever to recover.
So may not…

EZ does sound like a good option. I've been told it is not regularly warm or humid enough in NSW for the couches like Qld Blue to do well.
Another…

I've been looking for turf as well, soft one in particular and am thinking Sapphire or Qld Blue so far but definitely hard to choose with so many varieties.
I…

Very helpful info/links thanks!
While where talking about benchtops does anyone know of any good suppliers for residential Stainless Steel Benchtops?
Particularly in Sydney area?

Thanks for the replies.
Yes, that's exactly right, where the finger pull is routered into the top edge of the door and drawer fronts. The finger pull and shadow line are…
