Is a soft-leafed Buffalo.
Unlike older, traditional Buffalo varieties, it is soft to the touch and easy to walk on.
Can tolerate higher salt levels better than other varieties of grass (and even other breeds of buffalo!)
It is classified as a creeping variety of lawn because it only creeps along the surface, making it easy to control.
When compared to other types of lawn, it is thought to be less allergic.
Has an attractive broad-leafed grass with an architectural leaf.
Green spaces take on a lush, majestic appearance.
With proper care, it grows a tight weave that helps choke out weeds (only spray with products labelled for Buffalo).
Has relatively low fertiliser requirements as long as the soil is properly prepared.
Can be verti-mowed from October to January, but must be done in October to be ready for the holiday season.
For domestic properties, it is best installed as an instant lawn, also known as roll-on grass.
Does not require as frequent mowing as Couch or Kikuyu. It is recommended for Sir Walter Soft-Leaf Buffalo lawns.

In summer use a 20mm mowing height, and mow weekly if required
In winter use a use a 30mm mowing height – mowing higher allows the grass to make more food for itself, important in shaded areas – mow every two to three weeks, if required. TIP: Set your mower higher on high traffic areas.
How to maintain your turf?
KEEP YOUR LAWN LOOKING LUSH AND GREEN
Follow these expert tips to keep your lawn looking lush and green. Regular maintenance ensures that your turf remains healthy and vibrant all year round.
Mow weekly if required in SUMMER and use a 20mm mowing height. Mow every two to three weeks, if required in WINTER and use a 30mm mowing height – the higher cut in winter helps the lawn make enough food for itself with reduced sunlight. High-traffic areas will also cope with wear and tear easier if you raise your mowing height.
In winter and if your lawn is in a shady area, it should be allowed to grow longer to be able to absorb more sunlight. Never remove more than one third of the leaf blade per mow, as this will remove a significant amount of the green food producing body.
Every lawn naturally generates thatch as a consequence of robust growth. Thatch serves as a barrier, hindering the essential flow of water and nutrients to the root zone. An annual verti-mowing session is necessary to eliminate this thatch buildup.
For establishing or repairing of turf, the application should be 5kg per 50m2 of Eco-Growth’s Eco-Prime Red fertiliser which contains plenty of Phosphorus (in the form of non-leaching rock phosphate).
For optimum health of your lawn, it is recommended to fertilise at a maintenance rate of 5kg per 100m2 every 6-8 weeks for 6 months after installation and every 12 weeks thereafter.
Remember, always water thoroughly to activate the fertiliser and prevent any possible leaf burn.
How to establish your Turf?
ENSURE A HEALTHY START FOR YOUR NEW TURF
Use these essential guidelines to get your new turf off to a strong start. Proper establishment is essential for a healthy, beautiful lawn.
When starting a new Sir Walter Soft Leaf Buffalo lawn, the correct soil can give your lawn a great beginning and prevent issues with nutrients and water. We highly recommend adding Bentonite Clay to sandy soils in Perth. Bentonite is a natural clay substance without any extra chemicals. It offers lasting advantages for efficient water and fertilizer use, which can save you both time and money. For the best results, be sure to mix Bentonite into your soil along with organic material such as humus.
Sir Walter lawn has a longer establishment time of six months in cooler months. Full sun and a good reticulation system means three months in warmer months.
If you minimise traffic on your lawn during the first eight weeks, the lawn can develop a stronger root system, compared to using it straight away.
Lawn should not be mowed until rolls have produced adequate roots. This should happen between 4 and 8 weeks and can be confirmed by checking that the rolls have secured themselves to the soil.
