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.

Eureka Kikuyu (Kik), is a medium leaf, warm season grass that is suitable for high traffic areas, making it the perfect turf for kids to play on, and dogs who love to dig. What makes Kikuyu unique is its ability to self-repair quickly, as a result of its fast growing nature.

This means it will need to be mown more frequently compared to other grass types such as Sir Walter Buffalo, or Couch for example. If not maintained properly, Kikuyu can easily make its way underground into garden beds and paths. In order to maintain this lawn variety, we recommend keeping your mowing length between 25-50mm in length, this will ensure your lawn remains well kept without causing any damage.

How do I look after Kikuyu grass in winter?

Kikuyu is a warm season grass, and you will get the best performance out of it across Spring and Summer when exposed to warm sunlight frequently. Once the warmer seasons have passed, Kikuyu will still continue to grow for several weeks, and slow down throughout Autumn and Winter. To get the most out of your lawn we suggest mowing as little as possible - but if needed we recommend mowing slightly higher than you normally would.

How often should you mow kikuyu?

During the warmer months we recommend aiming to mow your lawn every 5-7 days. That way this will keep your grass looking healthy and well kept.

Can you over water kikuyu?

Yes, it is possible to over water your lawn. Generally we recommend watering your lawn once a week or every 7 to 10 days depending on how fast it is growing. In the winter months minimal watering is required in order to maintain kikuyu.
