Sir Walter Buffalo is a creeping grass that moves over the surface making it easy to edge and care for. It’s not as invasive as other varieties of grass such as Kikuyu or Couch. It also has a great drought tolerance and requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking at its best year round. During winter it may lose some colour, although this will improve with age.

Another great benefit of Sir Walter Buffalo is that it’s weed resistant and low-allergenic, making it perfect for kids of all ages. This grass variety is also more resistant to pests compared to other lawn types and is extremely versatile for use across any garden space.

Is Sir Walter Buffalo shade tolerant?

Sir Walter loves both the sun and is shade tolerant, this makes it perfect for almost any garden across Melbourne.

When is the best time to install my lawn?

Installation is recommended from September through to May.

How often do I need to water my lawn?

When your new lawn has been installed, the first week or two will require consistent watering every few days to ensure the soil does not dry out. After this period, you should only need to water your Sir Walter Buffalo lawn once a week. In extreme conditions though your lawn may require extra watering. However, in the winter months it will rarely require irrigation.

How do I fertilise my new lawn?

Sir Walter needs to be top dressed with washed sand at a rate of half a cubic meter to every 100 square meters. Focus mainly on the joins and edges to stop it drying out. For the healthiest lawn fertilise at the start of each season.

A medium leaf, warm season grass perfect for high traffic areas, kids to play on, or dogs who love to dig.

Rhizomatous Tall Rescue (RTF) has been developed as a beautiful grass with all the features of the EasiCare with the added advantage of producing rhizomes. These rhizomes send shoots up through the lawn whilst establishing independent root systems for new plants, thus enabling self-repair for dry or hard worn patches.

RTF will establish faster than the regular Tall Fescue, so you can enjoy it and water less much sooner.
