Price is calculated per metre ² Visit our Turf Calculator page to measure the quantity needed.
Buffalo turf’s soft feel under foot, lush aesthetic and dense growth prevents weeds, making it an excellent choice for home gardens.
A hardy and warm season grass, Buffalo is ideal for North Queensland’s tropical climate, but this lawn turf just as happily tolerates more temperate regions as well as medium to heavily shaded areas.
Buffalo Turf does better in areas not prone to drought. If fertilized a couple of times a year, this non-invasive turf has excellent wear and recovery properties.
Buffalo Turf is easy to maintain. Regular mowing at a height between 3cm-6cm will keep this popular turf lawn choice, right along Australia’s east coast, looking its best.
