Betta Turf - Supplier of Sir Walter Soft Leaf Buffalo, Velvet Buffalo around Perth

Sir Walter - A soft leaf (winter active, low thatch) buffalo turf.

Sir Walter Soft Leaf Buffalo was born and bred in Australia, under Australian conditions so it has excellent drought tolerance compared to other Buffalo Lawns.
Because it is winter active it maintains its colour longer than other Buffalo Turf and does not go purple in winter.
The low thatch growth habit makes it a low maintenance lawn arriving in turf rolls that are strong and easy to lay. The softer leaves means an ideal surface for children to play on.
Sir Walters drought tolerance, herbicide tolerance and fungus resistance means that this is one of the most environmentally friendly turf grasses available.
The crisp green colour of Sir Walter makes this a most attractive lawn in summer and winter.

Recommended as the best domestic grass in Australia by Don Burke ('Burke's Backyard').
