Since 1997 there has been more than 60 million metres of Sir Walter Buffalo grass sold across Australia – that’s the equivalent of 500,000 homes. This versatile grass is hardy, shade, heat, frost and drought resistant, which makes it a very popular choice. Its broad leaf thrives in shady areas with as little as 3 hours of sunlight. Other benefits include:

  • Great for kids and pets.
  • Fast repairing lawn.
  • Soft texture.
  • Wear and tear tolerant.
  • Low maintenance.
