To make things a little easier for you, we have put together a comparison between two common lawn varieties for your home – TifTuf and Sir Walter.

Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo Grass is an Australian-created turf that has been one of the most popular turf options on the Australian market since 1997. It is suitable for both children and pet and is a common choice for residential backyards.
TifTuf, otherwise known as TifTuf Bermuda or TifTuf Hybrid Bermuda, is a turf variety created in the USA from over 25 years of testing and development. It was chosen from over 30,000 other options and is another common choice for lawns.

I've had Sir Walter buffalo growing on my nature strip
(Sunbury, Victoria) for 10 months just coming into Summer now (December) haven't needed to water it at all due to the rainfall. Only fed it once with Seasol.Lush & green , full sun - (Easterly aspect) Also takes less mowing than the native grasses (& weeds) that were there before. The hardest thing really is the occasional trimming around the edges once a month or so, but you have to do that anyway ! Good investment
I have to add needed to water it for about a month initially & top dressed it with washed sand to act as a kind of mulch & to weigh it down
I have air Walter buffalo and wish I went tiff tuff or zoysia. Buffalo is horrid stuff that needs dethatching and is a pain to keep. It's not nice to walk on either. It looks ok and is tough but is a pain to control.
