Sir Walter Buffalo Turf Sydney
Our top seller. Sir Walter is an easy care, low maintenance lawn that is drought tolerant, hard wearing and ideally suited to the Sydney climate. DNA certified, it handles 50 per cent or more shade and stands up to high traffic, which is why it is the variety we supply more of than any other across the Northern Beaches and North Shore.
Vibrant, lush and soft underfoot, it suits both residential and commercial projects. Whether you want a lawn the kids and dogs can use without worrying about pollen, or a front yard that looks sharp all year, Sir Walter is the safe choice.
$16.50 per square metre. Each roll is 0.65m x 1.6m, which covers one square metre. Cut fresh to order and delivered seven days a week, or collect from our Belrose yard.
Why Sir Walter is Sydney's most popular buffalo turf
Sir Walter was bred for Australian conditions and it has held its position as the country's best selling buffalo for good reason. It does not have one standout trait so much as no weak points. It takes shade, it takes sun, it takes traffic, it holds colour, and it repairs itself when something goes wrong.
That matters on Sydney blocks, where one lawn often has to do several jobs at once. A typical Northern Beaches or North Shore backyard has full sun across the middle, shade along the fence line, and a worn track where the kids and the dog run. A specialist variety will do one of those things brilliantly and the rest poorly. Sir Walter handles all three.
- Beautiful texture and fast growing
- Excellent all round performance
- Easy to maintain with low fertilisation needs
- Weather resistant, copes with both sun and shade
- Strong resistance to weeds and pests
- Low pollen, better for allergy sufferers
- Self repairing after wear or damage
What to lay under your Sir Walter turf
Sir Walter is a premium turf and it deserves a proper base. Turf laid straight onto compacted clay or old lawn will struggle no matter how good the variety is.
- Premium Turf Underlay is what we recommend under Sir Walter. Higher organic and nutrient content means faster root establishment and a better long term lawn.
- 80/20 Turf Underlay is the budget option, 80 per cent sand and 20 per cent organic soil, and it works on straightforward lawns.
- Spread underlay to a depth of 50mm over cultivated ground, level it, then lay turf the same day it is delivered.
- Add a turf starter fertiliser at laying to drive root growth.
- Premium Top Dressing is for later, once the lawn is established and you want to level out minor dips.
Use our Quantity Estimator to work out how much turf and underlay your project needs, or send the team your measurements and we will size it for you.
Laying and caring for Sir Walter turf
- Clear the area of old turf, weeds and debris, then rip or cultivate compacted ground
- Spread and level your underlay to 50mm and lightly firm it
- Lay the turf the same day it arrives. Turf is harvested to order and will not keep on a pallet
- Stagger the joins like brickwork and butt the rolls tight so the edges do not dry out
- Water thoroughly straight after laying, then daily for the first two weeks
- Keep foot traffic off for the first fortnight
- First mow at around two to three weeks, once it has rooted down and will not lift. Take no more than a third of the leaf
- Feed in spring and autumn. Sir Walter has low fertilisation needs so it does not need much

Delivery is by truck or flat bed with forklift.
