Sir Walter is a soft-leaf buffalo turf that thrives here in Queensland.
Its broad leaves are soft to touch while maintaining their durability. In fact, this grass is perfect for high traffic areas like parks and lawns because its density makes it difficult to damage!

Its dense mat prevents most weeds, plus it requires minimal watering and fertiliser. It’s the ideal choice for homeowners in the QLD climate that want a gorgeous lawn they can use!

Sir Walter buffalo turf FAQs

Sir Walter buffalo turf is $15.50 per m². For example, 50 m² of Sir Walter is $775 for the turf. The turf calculator adds delivery and laying so you can see a full price before you order.
Where is your Sir Walter grown?

Sir Walter or Empire Zoysia: which should I choose?
Both are $15.50/m² and both are grown at Woodford, so price does not decide it. Sir Walter is a soft-leaf buffalo with broad leaves; Empire Zoysia is a zoysia with a finer leaf. The choice mostly comes down to how much sun your lawn gets and how often you want to mow. Our guide Empire Zoysia vs Sir Walter buffalo compares the two side by side.
Can I grow Sir Walter from seed?
No. Sir Walter is a protected buffalo variety that is only sold as turf, so there is no genuine Sir Walter seed. Packets sold as “buffalo grass seed” are often a different plant. More in our seed vs turf guide.
How do I look after new Sir Walter turf?
Keep it well watered until it has rooted in, then start mowing once the turf can no longer be lifted. Follow our watering schedule for new turf (first 4 weeks) and our guide on when to mow new turf (and how low).
How does Sir Walter handle dry weather?
Once established, Sir Walter needs relatively little watering, but new turf must be kept moist until it roots in. Our drought-tolerant turf guide compares Sir Walter, Empire Zoysia and Wintergreen for Brisbane conditions.
Is Palmetto still available?
No. Palmetto has been discontinued. Sir Walter is our soft-leaf buffalo, and it is the variety we recommend if you were looking for Palmetto.
Compare with Empire Zoysia turf ($15.50/m²) and Wintergreen couch turf ($7.00/m²), or see all turf varieties.
