DROUGHT TOLERANCE
Every Australian garden will experience times of drought, so choosing a grass variety for your lawn that can tolerate drought conditions is important.
Born and bred in Australia, for Australian conditions, Sir Walter Soft Leaf Buffalo has proven its superior performance in drought conditions over other varieties including Eureka Kikuyu. The deep root system of the Sir Walter turf variety penetrates further into the subsoil than other varieties, taking advantage of moisture from deeper within the soil profile. Patios and decks can be great for entertaining, however they aren’t always large enough. Having a grass that can deal with wear and tear and that actually repairs itself like Sir Walter can extend these garden features into areas fit for large family gatherings and celebrations.
MAINTENANCE
Sir Walter Buffalo is a low maintenance grass variety. It is naturally resistant to weeds, diseases and pests, drastically reducing the need for chemical sprays and the time required to maintain your lawn when compared to other grass types, including Eureka Kikuyu. Sir Walter Buffalo is also non-invasive, which means your surrounding garden will require less maintenance when compared to the invasive nature of Eureka Kikuyu. An added benefit of a Sir Walter Buffalo lawn is that mowing will be less of a chore in the summer months as Sir Walter Buffalo has a slower growth rate than vigorous Kikuyu.
WEAR AND TEAR
Active kids, backyard sport, swing sets, pets and foot traffic will take their toll on your lawn over time. Sir Walter Buffalo, with its tight growth habit will withstand a high level of general wear and tear. If damaged, both Sir Walter Buffalo and Eureka Kikuyu will self-repair rapidly.
COST
Sir Walter Buffalo is a clear overall winner in terms of performance – it is low maintenance, shade tolerant and hardy. This performance does come at a higher per square metre cost so, if budget is your highest priority, and you have a yard in full sun, Eureka Kikuyu might be the best selection for you. If a low maintenance, high performance lawn is something you wish to invest in upfront, saving the longer-term costs of maintaining the lawn over time, Sir Walter Buffalo is the best choice for you. It’s no surprise that Sir Walter Buffalo is Australia’s Number 1 choice for lawns.
