Hello @janemythien 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about what turf is best for your backyard.

I suggest using buffalo grass as it is known for its ability to tolerate shady conditions. It can thrive in areas that receive as little as three to four hours of sunlight each day, which makes it an ideal choice for locations that are partly shaded, such as beneath trees or near buildings. Its wide leaf structure allows it to capture more sunlight. Please make sure to call your local store for stock levels before proceeding. 

Another option would be to use decorative pebbles to add variety to your garden.
