Sir Walter vs Palmetto, Sapphire, Matilda and Empire

How do you choose between the shade-tolerant buffalo grass brands?

There’s plenty of conflicting information around, and it can be hard to know what’s important and accurate.

One of the most common questions we hear people asking is “What’s the best grass for my lawn?”, and we get that from many of our customers in Sydney, Southern Highlands, the Illawarra and the Central Coast?

So, to help you understand exactly which turf is best for you, we’ve put together these information guides will help you to understand the good and bad about Sir Walter Buffalo vs all the leading Buffalo turf varieties, just like a head-to-head match-up.

Each of the turf information guides look at how different buffalo grasses compare, specifically we compares the lawns head-to-head in the following categories:

• least amount of thatch
• shade tolerance
• sun tolerance
• drought recovery
• wear and tear tolerance
• winter colour

So let’s find how how our Sir Walter turf compares in these head to head battles between Sapphire, Palmetto, Matilda, and Empire Zoysia.
