Why Australian's Love
Sir Walter - DNA Certified Buffalo
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo is your best answer to those shadier areas. Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo has a broader leaf, attracting more sunlight and helping the lawn photosynthesis.
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo can handle as little as just three hours of sun a day, making our Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo the perfect choice for shady areas.
When you purchase Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo Grass, you’re not just buying a new lawn, you’re buying a whole new way of life.
Gone will be the days of playing that game of backyard footy and ending up with a knee full of bindi, or diving for that superb catch only to finish with a mouthful of dirt.
For established Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawns, less frequent and deeper soakings are recommended to encourage strong root growth. A deep water every week using a good quality sprinkler at a depth of about 150mm is usually enough.
Of course, at the first signs of the lawn drying out, you will need to water your lawn again using the deep soaking system.
"The deeper the water goes, the deeper the roots grow; and the deeper the roots, the more durable the lawn is."
Mowing
For best results, mow your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn weekly to fortnightly in the growing season. This removes any old growth and encourages new and healthy growth, keeping your lawn dense and lush.
You can mow your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn from 20mm to 50mm using all mower types.
"Prior to winter, we suggest mowing your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn a little higher than in summer."
Fertilising
Fertilise your Sir Walter lawn 3-4 times per year using a good quality NPK-based fertiliser (Nitrogen; Phosphorus; Potassium). A balanced fertiliser will give your lawn the essential nutrients it requires to keep it well maintained, healthy and looking great.
We recommend using our blend that we use on our turf farms: Health Booster Lawn & Plant Food Fertiliser.
"Give your lawn a complete feed: add other elements (micronutrients & other macro- nutrients) to your fertilising program."
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo is fairly equipped to handle most pest invasions. Grubs that can affect it include army grub and lawn grub. Monitor your lawn and treat at the first signs of pest damage.
We recommend using a preventive grub control such as Grub Guard Ultimate & for larger lawns Acelepryn GR which will give you 6 months' pest control.
"Those harmful army worm lawn grubs are generally more active in the summer and autumn months."
Weed Control
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo turf has a tight growth habit which blocks out most weeds. Monitor your lawn for the first signs of weeds appearing and use an all-purpose weed control safe for buffalo lawns like Lawn Solutions Australia All purpose weed control.
Alternatively you can use a pre-emergent weed control such as Oxafert,which will give you 3 months' weed control.
"We suggest not to use weed and feed products, or any products containing the chemical active Dicanda."
De-thatching & Top Dressing
De-thatching your Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawn is not always necessary. However, if you find your lawn becoming very spongy and thick, it is a good idea to do some de-thatching. You can use a dethatching machine, or you could drop your mower down a few levels which will scalp & dethatch the lawn.
Top dressing is not always necessary. Sir Walter has a tight growth habit which will fill in most imperfections in the subsoil. But if you need to top-dress, we suggest using a good quality washed river sand.
"If you find your lawn bumpy when mowing, try top dressing your lawn to help fill in any imperfections and make a smoother mow."
