MYTH #1: Sir Walter Buffalo is a lawn that needs a lot of work.

**TRUTH:** This is just wrong! Sir Walter is a great choice for families with a lot going on because it’s easy to care for. This lawn doesn’t need to be mowed, fertilised, or watered as regularly as many others, even though all lawns need some maintenance. Because it is naturally thick, it also battles weeds, so you don’t have to spend as much time and energy getting rid of them.

Myth #2: It needs full sun all day to grow well.

**FACT:** Sir Walter Buffalo can do a lot of different things. One of its best features is that it can handle a lot of shade. It can look strong and full with just two to three hours of direct sunlight per day. This makes it a great choice for lawns that have trees, buildings, or walls that block the sun..

MYTH #3: A Sir Walter Lawn Can’t Handle a Lot of Traffic

**TRUE:** Sir Walter is a tough and long-lasting turf. Its construction ensures that it will withstand the extreme conditions seen in Australia. As it grows so densely, its thick and velvety leaves are safe for toddlers and pets to walk on. Even light pressure won’t be able to derail its incredible self-repairing abilities. It patches up worn places to keep the surface smooth and appealing.

MYTH #4: It Needs a Huge Amount of Water to Stay Green

**TRUTH:** The roots of Sir Walter extend far and wide. These deep roots let the grass get water from the ground below, which makes it very resistant to drought. It’s important to water a new Sir Walter lawn deeply at first, but after it’s established, it doesn’t need as much water as you may think. This is a huge bonus because Australia’s weather and water constraints are often hard to forecast.

#5: The Cost of Sir Walter Is Excessive

**FACT:** Sir Walter Buffalo grass may have a somewhat higher initial cost than other varieties, but it’s money well spent in the long run. Save money on water, fertiliser, and replacement costs with this low-maintenance, long-lasting, and extremely durable grass. A nice lawn can also make your property worth a lot more.
