These are all really hardy grasses but each has particular characteristics that make them ideal for certain conditions and settings.
The Australian climate can be really tough on lawns.
The amount of shade, the climate extremes, the amount of mowing and irrigation requirements all play a part in the success and quality of your lawn.
Before you choose a grass variety you should look carefully at where you plan to put your new turf and think about the following requirements:
Ask yourself; will your lawn take a hammering from the rough and tumble of children or grandchildren?
Do you want a lawn that needs minimal maintenance?
Other factors may be important for you to consider such as the colour of the grass in winter, leaf texture and size, and salt tolerance if you live close to the coast.
Sometimes your decision may need to be a compromise favouring one aspect over another.
For example, you might need to give more importance to drought resistance versus how often you have to mow the lawn.
Sir Walter Buffalo premium turf is one of Australia’s most popular choices…
It has excellent drought resistance and shade tolerance, self-repairing hardiness, low maintenance and watering requirements, and exceptional all year-round appearance.

After the initial establishment period your new Atlas turf will need a minimal amount of maintenance.
The degree and frequency of the maintenance programme will depend on the grass variety and the particular local climatic conditions.
