Turf Varieties

Popular Fast-Growing Buffalo

At Top Notch Turf, we’re proud to grow and supply Sir Walter Buffalo turf in Townsville.

This variety offers a huge range of benefits – it grows well in both clay and sandy soils, it’s drought resistant and also frost-hardy for colder areas.

Unlike Wintergreen Couch, shady areas present no problem for Sir Walter Buffalo as it requires only two-to-three hours of full sun per day. 

This turf is very easy to care for requiring only regular mowing, the occasional deep water and once-a-year fertilising. We recommend this variety for front and backyards that experience a heavy amount of foot traffic.

Caring for Sir Walter

Sir Walter Buffalo Turf is a very durable grass with a vigorous root system, which means it will put up with a lot of wear. If you give Sir Walter a little love and attention it will reward you with a lush-looking lawn that will stay lovely for years to come.

Once your grass is established, regular mowing is essential. For a soft feel underfoot, set your mower to 50mm; for a firmer footing reduce the deck height to 30mm.

To encourage a vigorous root system, water deeply every so often. If your grass is not as green as you’d expect after mowing and watering, then consider applying fertiliser with an iron supplement in late autumn.
