Why choose Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo

A proven shade and drought-tolerant grass with natural climate control

Queensland summers can be tough, with the wet season often starting later in the summer months. Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo benefits from substantial root systems that penetrate deep into the subsoil delivering much-needed moisture to the grass blades during the hot and dry months. While your street waits for the heavens to open, your minimal-care lush, green lawn will be the envy of your neighbours.

Healthy lawns have long been valued for creating cooler microclimates through their natural ability to draw in groundwater that is then released into the atmosphere through the grass blades, powering mother nature's natural air-conditioner. Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo grass consistently outperforms other buffalo turfs and can cool the air surrounding your home by up to 10 degrees making your yard much more enjoyable for your family.

Buffalo lawns are also very shade tolerant as their broad leaves are more efficient photosynthesisers compared to their narrow-leaf cousins.

Couch, on the other hand, can have higher maintenance and fertilisation requirements and typically is a whole lot less shade-tolerant. For comparison, Sir Walter DNA Certified has shade tolerance up to 75% while Nullarbor Couch sits at up to 25%.
