Sir Walter FAQs

Sir Walter buffalo turf — your questions answered

Is Sir Walter buffalo good for Melbourne lawns?
Yes — Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo is one of the best all-round lawns for Melbourne. It handles our hot, dry summers and cooler winters, tolerates shade better than couch or kikuyu, and stays green and soft year-round with minimal fuss.
How much sun does Sir Walter need? Will it grow in shade?
Sir Walter performs in full sun through to shade, needing a minimum of about 3 hours of direct sunlight per day. That makes it the best buffalo choice for yards with fences, trees or a shaded southern side.
Is Sir Walter turf good for kids and dogs?
Very much so. Its soft, broad leaf is comfortable underfoot, and it’s hard-wearing and self-repairing, so it stands up to kids and pets and recovers quickly from heavy use.
How long does Sir Walter take to establish?
With correct watering, Sir Walter roots into prepared soil in about 2–3 weeks. Keep it moist daily during this period, then give it a first light mow once it’s rooted and settle into a normal routine.
What height should I mow Sir Walter buffalo?
Sir Walter is best kept a little longer than couch — around 4–6cm. Mow regularly, never removing more than a third of the leaf at once, to keep it thick, green and weed-resistant.
Sir Walter vs TifTuf — which should I choose?
Choose Sir Walter for a soft, shade-tolerant family lawn; choose TifTuf Bermuda for the lowest water use in full-sun, water-wise gardens. Sir Walter tolerates shade far better, while TifTuf is finer and the most drought-efficient.
Do you deliver Sir Walter across Melbourne?
Yes — Sir Walter is delivered fresh-cut across metropolitan Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula. It’s delivery only (no pickup) with a 30m² minimum order, and is cut to order so it should be laid the day it arrives.
