Caring for Your Sir walter Buffalo: Keeping It Top Notch
Even though Sir Walter is known for being low maintenance, a little ongoing care goes a long way:
Water deeply a few times a week in the hotter months to encourage deep root growth and drought resilience.
Raise your mowing height slightly if your yard is shaded — more leaf helps with photosynthesis.
Use a balanced fertiliser in early spring and again in autumn to keep that signature rich green look.
