We replaced 1600 square feet of lawn with Kurapia. Now it gets watered for 5 minutes, twice a week and mowed every six months. Kurapia is one tough competitor and a big labor and water saver. We are looking for more areas to install Kurapia and look forward to the new pink flower variety.
Our committee was thrilled with the results of Kurapia!

I ordered one flat to try at home as I am a landscape designer in Houston, Texas and frankly Kurapia sounded too good to be true. I planted on April 15 and the Kurapia filled in 3 months later. Very pleased with your product! It’s holding up very well to human and paw traffic. I will definitely be recommending to clients. Thank you!

After extensive research and investigation, Kurapia was chosen for my projects for the following reasons: aesthetics, growth habit, drought tolerance, erosion control, weed suppression, disease resistance, maintenance and most importantly – Water Conservation. I believe Kurapia will revolutionize the landscape industry.
