4. a Place to enjoy all year ’round

There are numerous reasons why a homeowner would invest in a lawn landscape.

Spending time outside has significant mental and physical health benefits, and Sir Walter provides year-round enjoyment.

5. Low and easy maintenance

Sir Walter grows a deep root systems that needs little water to thrive. Even in times of drought, roots rarely dry out. Mow to 35-65mm in length and water regularly all year. We recommend fertilising the lawn in the spring and autumn, and it will take care of itself! For more lawn care tips check out our blogs.

6. The cost effective option

Artificial grass and other landscape features such as paving can be quite the blow to your wallet. When compared, Sir Walter is very affordable. Furthermore, natural turf is better for the environment, reduces erosion, noise, glare, and the risk of fire, increases oxygen and health benefits, and is cooler for the home.

7. Tough against pests and diseases

Sir Walter is one of the most pest and disease resistant Buffalos, allowing you to spend less time worrying about your lawn and more time enjoying it! Sir Walter’s dense cover also results in less weed infestation and, as a result, less herbicide use. It rarely gets severe fungus, which reduces the need for fungicides on your lawn.

8. It’s low allergenic

Families want a lawn that they can enjoy without suffering from allergies or rashes. Sir Walter protects against environmental allergies, which are thought to affect one in every four Australians. It grows through spreading stolons, as opposed to cool season grasses that grow from seed (creeping stems). Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo produces few (if any) seed heads unless subjected to extreme stress or neglect, making it extremely low allergenic. It also has a smooth leaf blade with no jagged edges, so it won’t irritate your skin.

9. It keeps your home cooler

On a hot summer day, an average-sized front lawn has the same cooling effect as three typical home central air conditioning units. Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo grass can keep your home up to 10° cooler than bare soil, 20° cooler than concrete, and 40° cooler than artificial turf. How cool is that?

10. outstanding shade tolerance

Sir Walter DNA Certified thrives in hot weather, but unlike most other summer active grasses, it also does well in cool climates and shady areas. In fact, Sir Walter can survive in up to 70% shade! This is one of the primary reasons why Sir Walter DNA Certified instant turf is the most popular instant lawn variety. With backyards becoming smaller and residential homes becoming larger, it is rare to find a residential landscape with no shade to consider. Because of its high shade tolerance and ability to thrive in full sun environments, Sir Walter DNA Certified instant lawn is the most versatile turfgrass on the market.
