Sir Walter is lush and green, with:

a tight growth habit to hold out most weeds
the ability to repair itself quickly if damaged, leaving fewer bare patches

You’ll find that Sir Walter gives you lawn a luxurious and verdant look that other varieties don’t.

You will also appreciate that mowing is more enjoyable, as the finished result will amaze you every time. It’s easy to take pride in your Sir Walter DNA Certified lawn!

Proven performer in heat and drought

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

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 celsius around your home.

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

Sir Walter Buffalo FAQ

Is Sir Walter a Buffalo Grass?

Yes! Sir Walter is a buffalo grass. But it’s not your average buffalo, because it has been specifically bred in Australia, on the central coast of NSW for the conditions here.

DNA Certified Sir Walter is more tolerant to drought than many buffalo grasses.
Sir Walter keeps its colour in winter better than other buffalo varieties.
Sir Walter has a much softer leaf than the old-style buffalo turf you might remember from your childhood (which would give you a rash from too much rolling around), so Sir Walter is non-allergenic.

Does Sir Walter Spread?

No, DNA Certified Sir Walter Buffalo is non-invasive, so unlike Kikuyu, it does not send runners into garden beds and spread where you don’t want it to go. Read more here.

How Thick Is Sir Walter Buffalo?

Sir Walter has a dense growth habit and a thick leaf (5mm – 10mm wide). It is thicker in appearance than all common varieties available in Australia.

The thickness of Sir Walter is a great advantage. Sir Walter can crowd out weeds with its dense growth habit. The thick leaves also create an ultra-soft shagpile carpet feel.

Can You Buy Sir Walter Grass Seed?

No. Sir Walter is not grown from seed. It is only available in turf rolls bought from certified Lawn Solutions Australia growers, like us!

We are a long-established turf farm and we don’t grow Sir Walter from seed either. When we cut the turf sod, we leave a little bit behind so it can regrow and be cut again next year.

So if you find someone selling Sir Walter Grass Seed, then you should stay away! It cannot be a genuine DNA Certified Sir Walter grass and will not perform as Sir Walter does.

How Often Do You Have To Water Sir Walter?

During the establishment phase, you need to keep the water up to Sir Walter Buffalo. Water at least once and deeply every day for the first 7-14 days to avoid it drying out and to keep the soil moist. You can reduce this to every other day in the 3rd to 4th week. Keep a close eye on the grass for a few weeks after to make sure it doesn’t look dry (the leaves will start to curl inward along the long axis of the blades).

After the turf is established, water wisely and only when necessary. This can be done once a week in a long hot and dry summer for luscious growth. Watch for curling leaves as this is an indicator that the grass is stressed and drying out. Proper deep watering (e.g. once, but for a full hour) will produce deep roots, making your lawn more tolerant to a variety of conditions.
