Description

Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo is Australia’s most trusted buffalo grass – and for good reason. Tough, resilient and beautifully soft underfoot, it has been the go-to lawn for Aussie families since 1997.

Bred right here in Australia to handle our harsh conditions, Sir Walter thrives in heat, shade, drought and frost. With over 135 million square metres sold nationwide – the equivalent of more than 1.3 million homes – it’s the buffalo grass Australians rely on.

When you choose Sir Walter DNA Certified from Mallee Turf, you’re choosing the original. Guaranteed.

Why Sir Walter Is Australia’s Best Buffalo Grass

Sir Walter has stood the test of time because it performs where other lawns struggle. It grows:

  • In full sun
  • In shade (with as little as 3 hours of sunlight per day)
  • In extreme heat
  • Through frost
  • In drought conditions

Its broad, soft leaves allow it to photosynthesise efficiently, making it one of the best-performing buffalo varieties for shaded areas. At the same time, its deep root system reaches into the subsoil to access moisture, helping it stay greener for longer during dry periods.

A well-established Sir Walter lawn can even help reduce surrounding surface temperatures by up to 10 degrees.

Tough on Conditions, Soft on Feet

Sir Walter was bred to be hardy – but also comfortable.

It features a soft leaf blade that makes it ideal for families, children and pets. Unlike older buffalo varieties, it won’t leave you with scratched legs after backyard cricket or footy.

Sir Walter is:

  • Soft-leaved
  • Low-allergenic
  • Weed resistant
  • Dense and lush green

It’s the perfect lawn for active Aussie backyards.

Proven Shade & Drought Tolerance

One of the key reasons Sir Walter remains Australia’s most popular buffalo grass is its ability to handle both shade and drought.

Its strong, deep root system gathers moisture from below the surface, helping it stay healthy through long, hot summers. At the same time, its broad leaf structure allows it to perform exceptionally well in shaded areas where many other lawns thin out.

If you want a lawn that stays greener through summer and copes with less-than-perfect light, Sir Walter is a proven performer.

Low Maintenance & Self-Repairing

Sir Walter Buffalo has a tight, dense growth habit that naturally suppresses many weeds. Its vigorous lateral growth also allows it to repair quickly if damaged, reducing bare patches.

You’ll enjoy:

  • Less weed intrusion
  • Strong recovery from wear
  • Reduced mowing stress
  • A consistently neat, finished look

It’s a lawn that works with you, not against you.
