Easier Management

Sir Walter requires no special skill or knowledge. The average homemaker is on safe ground, because Sir Walter thrives in either full sun or shade. Sir Walter has proven to be the water and nutrient efficient of the premium lawn turfs and this, together with its resistance to pest and disease challenge, and dense low thatch growing habit ensures easier management.

Environmentally Friendly

Sir Walter is less chemical dependent because it, better than all other buffalo types, resists common fungal diseases and insect pests usually associated with other soft leaf buffalo lawns.

Wear

Sir Walter turf is better able to withstand and recover from everyday wear and tear. This is because it couples the longest growing season of any buffalo turf, with a high-density, low thatch characteristic. An additional benefit is its ability to grow in shaded situations where other varieties, such as Kikuyu and Couch, would struggle.

Appearance

Recovered_Sir_WalterSir Walter has what many see as the best colour of all grasses, and importantly, it has the ability to maintain that colour through the widest range of adverse conditions. Sir Walter's winter complexion may, under extreme conditions, dim, but to a much lesser degree than most other buffalo, couch and kikuyu lawns.
