Sir Walter Buffalo Grass
Ahhhh, Wally… It’s as Aussie as a ‘G’day’ and just as friendly, mate. Whether you're a green thumb or you reckon gardening’s better left to the plants, Sir Walter grass has your back. This is the turf that keeps on giving, no matter the weather or the wear.
Tough as an Aussie Cricketer: Hardy enough to withstand the scorching sun and just as happy in the shade, thriving on a lazy three hours of sunlight a day.
A True Blue Beauty: With its soft, broad leaves, and deep green colour, Sir Walter’s as lush and comforting as a backyard BBQ with mates. It's the grass that makes you want to kick off your thongs and stay awhile.
Drought Defender: Once it’s settled in, Sir Walter doesn’t fuss much over a drink. It keeps its cool, only asking for a water when the going gets tough, and even then, it's pretty laid back.
Mowing’s a Breeze: Whether you’re after the Gabba’s smooth finish or something a bit more rugged, a rotary or cylinder mower gets the job done, with a trim now and then to keep it tidy from 20 to 60mm.
The Weed Whisperer: Its tight growth habit means Sir Walter grass is thick enough to give the weeds the flick without a worry, leaving more time for the good stuff.

Sir Walter Buffalo Grass: The Backyard Hero You Didn’t Know You Needed
Sir Walter Buffalo Grass, she’s as Aussie as Vegemite on toast and just as beloved. This turf’s not just grass; it’s the dream team player for any backyard, ready to turn your patch into the pride of the street. It’s tough, it’s tender, and it’s ready for whatever your family throws at it.
Why Sir Walter is Your Backyard’s Best Mate:
Tougher than a Weekend BBQ Debate: With its knack for bouncing back in the dry spells, Sir Walter’s as drought-tough as they come. Water wise and ready to thrive, it asks for a sip only when it’s parched.
Shade? Sunshine? All Good, Mate: Only needing about 3 hours of sunlight a day, it’s as happy in the dappled shade as it is in the full Aussie sun, making it the perfect mate for every corner of your yard.
The Gentleman of Grass: Low allergenic and softer than your favourite footy jersey underfoot, Sir Walter is the go-to for a sniffle-free roll around.
Thick-Skinned and Weed-Wary: Its lush, dense growth keeps those pesky weeds and bugs at a ‘good luck, mate’ distance, leaving your lawn looking like a green carpet year-round.
Keeping Sir Walter in Tip-Top Nick:
Mowing Schedule: Not too keen on becoming besties with the mower? No worries. Sir Walter likes a trim every 5-10 days when it’s hot, and every 3-6 weeks to chill in the cooler months. Keep it a tad taller in the shade for that lush look.
Feeding Frenzy: Just a couple of feeds a year with some slow-release fertiliser (and maybe an extra in summer for those high-traffic areas) will keep it looking schmick.
Pest Patrol: A little squirt of Acelepryn GR pesticide in the autumn and spring keeps the creepy crawlies from making your lawn their holiday home.
Thirst Quenching: Like any good Aussie, Sir Walter enjoys a drink, but only when necessary. A couple of times a week in the heat, tapering off to once a week or when the leaves tell you they’re thirsty in the cooler months, is plenty.
Who’s Bringing Sir Walter Home?
Perfect For: The weekend warrior looking for a lush lawn without the constant up-keep. Families wanting a safe, soft play area that’s kind to both knees and noses.
Might Want to Pass: Honestly, if you’re looking for high maintenance or a lawn that needs constant coddling, Sir Walter might just be too laid-back for you.

Ready to measure up?
Avoid the dreaded "oops, we ran out of grass" or "uh-oh, we've got too much turf" surprises! Follow these simple steps to get your turf measurements right the first time.
Option A: Use Google Maps
You can check out our ‘how to use Google’s Measuring Tool’ here. Or;
Option B: Measure by Hand
Use the formulas below to determine how to measure for your yard. You can also download a printable PDF version of our Measuring for Turf Guide, so you’ve got all the information in front of you when you’re measuring up.
Square / Rectangle:
Length x width = m2
e.g. 5m x 5m = 25m2
Circle:
(Radius x radius) x 3.14 = m2
e.g. (3m x 3m) x 3.14 = 28.26m2
Semi-circle:
Circle calculations (left) / 2 = m2
e.g. 28.26m2 / 2 = 14.13m2
Triangle:
(Length x width) / 2 = m2
e.g. (10m x 5m) / 2 = 25m2
Unusual Shapes:
Sketch your yard, break it into shapes and use shape calculations above.
e.g. rectangle + square + triangle = m2
Varying Widths:
Measure the longest edge (length)
Divide the widths into 2m sections and measure (width 1, 2, 3, etc.)
Calculate (width 1 + width 2 + width 3) / number of width sections
Multiply by length
e.g. ((5m + 6m + 6m + 7m + 8m)/5) x 10m = 64m2
5. Add a few extra m2 per 100m2 as a buffer
