Sir Walter Buffalo is Australia’s most recognised and trusted premium buffalo turf, known for its resilience, lush colour, and reliability in a wide range of conditions. It performs beautifully in both sun and partial shade (up to 70%), maintaining a vibrant green appearance year-round.
Sir Walter Buffalo is a proven performer in Australian conditions — a broad-leaf buffalo variety known for its comfort, reliability, and attractive deep-green colour. It’s ideal for homes that want a durable, easy-care lawn that still looks lush year-round.
Buffalo grass is a highly popular choice for Australian homeowners who want a lush, durable lawn that can withstand a harsh climate.
Renowned for its broad leaves and vibrant green colour, Buffalo grass offers a beautiful and practical solution for residential gardens, parks, and commercial landscapes alike.
Sydney Buffalo is a medium to broad leaf Buffalo that has a good drought tolerance but isn’t as drought tolerant as some of the other varieties of buffalo out there.
Its durability is high which provides families and pets with a soft surface to enjoy and relax. It also shows a great recovery rate if there is any damage or excessive wear to the lawn.
Its maintenance remains low like all Buffalo grass, and due to its thickness and tight matt, weeds are prevented from growing through.
