A Proven Shade and Drought-Tolerant Grass

Why have a brown lawn during summer when a lush green, drought-tolerant lawn like Sir Walter Buffalo can make you the envy of your street?

Buffalo lawns are more shade-tolerant than other varieties because of their broad leaves which photosynthesise well. Among the Buffalo varieties, Sir Walter DNA Certified buffalo grass in Brisbane and the Gold Coast is among the very best performers in shady areas and can thrive with as little as three hours of sunlight per day.

Sir Walter’s roots grow deep into the subsoil gathering the moisture. A Sir Walter lawn can reduce the heat generated from the sun by up to 10 degrees!

A lot of different Buffalo turf grasses are available on the market, but none of these has been able to surpass Sir Walter in ticking all the right boxes.

Great For Kids And Pets

Does Sir Walter Turf Spread?

Yes, Sir Walter turf grows through spreading stolons and rhizomes (creeping stems).

How do you prepare ground for Sir Walter Turf?

• Spray out existing lawn turf & weeds with Glyphosate (Round Up), follow the labelled rates to allow for a total kill. Allow a minimum of two days for the chemical to work on the plant. (Second application may be required)
• Either remove old lawn and weeds or cultivate this into the base soil. For best results cultivate, till or spade the area to a depth of approximately 150mm.This is also an ideal time to add soil amendments like Gypsum, Lime and extra organics.
• Test your soil with a pH test kit, to check if you need to add any additional products to balance your soils pH. (Somewhere between 6-7 is ideal for your new turf)
• If you have poor soil, cap this off with a good quality under turf soil to a depth of 50 to 200mm. Call  0466 557 374 to arrange a quotation for our TurfGro or TurfSand Products, and whether it be in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast we can deliver directly to your site! Allow for 30% compaction of your soil when ordering.
• Eliminate drainage problems by having soil slope away from foundations, footpaths, garden beds etc.
• Rake and smooth soil removing rocks, roots, and large clods.
• Roll the area with a lawn roller. This will firm the soil surface and reveal low areas that need more soil.
• Keep the grade 25mm below sidewalks and driveways for the new turf to sit into. (35-40mm for buffalo)
• Apply a starter fertiliser like Lawn Launcher which contains fast and slow-release fertiliser and water crystals. Rake this into the surface for your new quality turf.
• Screen off the soil to provide a smooth surface, roll then screen again. Your soil needs to be compacted enough that when you walk on to it you only leave a small footprint.
• Lightly wet the soil to minimise dust & provide a moist base for your new turf, but not too wet that it turns to mud.

 Does Sir Walter grow in shade?

Yes, Sir Walter is our best shade tolerant turf. However, Sir Walter still needs some sunlight to thrive.

For best growing results, Sir Walter needs 2-3 hours of direct sunlight per day. If your property is located in Brisbane or on the Gold Coast, your Sir Walter turf should receive plenty of sunlight, as the weather tends to be sunny in south-east Queensland.

Does Sir Walter Grass grow in winter?

Yes, all turf varieties can be established in winter. However, the establishment period is slightly longer due to the cooler weather and the plant going into dormancy.

Is Sir Walter Buffalo good for dogs?

Sir Walter is considered one of the best turfs as it’s self-repairing, grows quickly and can handle a bit of wear and tear. The ammonia in a dog’s urine can cause urine burning but unfortunately all turf varieties can suffer from this.
