why sapphire buffalo?
Sapphire Buffalo is one of the top-performing buffalo grasses available in Australia. It's a fantastic choice for shady areas, family yards, and those wanting a soft, premium lawn without the premium upkeep.
What sets Sapphire apart is its finer leaf and deep green colour, which gives your lawn a lush, luxurious feel. Unlike some other buffalos, Sapphire is also less likely to thatch, making it easier to maintain.
It only needs 2–3 hours of direct sunlight, making it one of the most shade-tolerant turf options on the market. That makes it ideal for courtyards, under trees, or homes with partial shade.
If you’re looking for a soft buffalo lawn that feels great underfoot and keeps its colour through most seasons, Sapphire is a great pick. Not sure if Sapphire Buffalo is the right lawn for you? Reach out here and we’ll match your yard to the perfect turf.

Caring for Your Sapphire Buffalo: Keeping It Top Notch
Mow Mindfully: Keep it trimmed every 5-10 days during the summer sizzle and relax to every 3-6 weeks when it cools down. Adjust the height from 2-5cm for sunny spots to 5-7cm in the more shadowy retreats.
Feed It Right: A slow-release fertiliser is your best mate twice a year; once in early Autumn and again in Spring. It’s the secret sauce for that dense growth and rich colour.
Pest Patrol: Apply Acelepryn GR pesticide in early Autumn and Spring to keep your lawn as chill as a beach day without the bugs.
Water Wisely: Water 2-3 times a week in the peak of summer and cut back to once a week during cooler months, or just when it looks a bit thirsty.
