Launching across the world: ZymeCO is proud to be exclusive partners with Living Turf of Australia and New Zealand
Phil Dwyer, VP Sales & Marketing • September 11, 2025

Founded in 2003, Living Turf is Australia’s largest privately-owned turf management distributorship, providing strategic consultancy and expert agronomic advice to golf, sports and open space turf managers and businesses. With over 100 employees and offices across Australia and New Zealand, Living Turf delivers tailored programs and leading solutions that are scientifically sound and have minimized environmental impact.


"Our shared philosophies of using biology to achieve optimal turfgrass conditioning and performance have matched from day one. ThatchZyme works with soil biology to accelerate thatch breakdown, and being able to offer this programmatic approach to turfgrass managers through a partner such as Living Turf is exactly what we had hoped for," says Phil Dwyer of ZymeCO. 


Rob Cooper, Founder of Living Turf, adds “I have known Phil Dwyer, who is behind the science of ThatchZyme, for thirty years - that was the first major tick of approval for me. Now, having trialled the product, seen the data, and understand what it can do, I am eager to share it with our clients and see what it can do to improve the sports turf in Australia and New Zealand."

ZymeCO’s enzyme products are made through a natural fermentation process to work quickly in breaking down organic matter like thatch or crop residue. These bio-active enzymes are not living organisms, which means they’re very consistent, easy to store, and act right away.
