Frequently Asked Questions

Palmetto Buffalo Turf is an excellent choice for backyards with shaded areas or smaller spaces that don’t receive a lot of sunlight. Palmetto Buffalo grass requires a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight to thrive, making it one of the best turf choices for shady areas.

Palmetto Buffalo Turf requires a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight to thrive. Buffalo varieties are among the most shade-tolerant turf types, needing minimal sunlight to grow. DNA Certified Sir Walter Turf is also a great choice if your area doesn’t receive much sunlight.

Palmetto Buffalo Turf requires less watering and maintenance than most other buffalo varieties. In fact, your lawn may only need watering once every 7–10 days during Summer, with even less required throughout the cooler months. Fertilising once or twice a year is usually sufficient, making it a great choice for time-poor lawn owners.

We recommend mowing your Palmetto Buffalo Turf every 10 days to keep it neat and help prevent thatch build-up. Regular mowing also encourages the thicker grass blades to grow more vertically, creating a more uniform appearance.

Identified by its coarse texture and dark green leaves, Palmetto Buffalo Turf is the perfect choice for those wanting a low-maintenance buffalo lawn that looks green and lush no matter the season. Originating in central Florida, its drought and heat tolerance is second to none, making it a great choice for backyards and high-heat locations. Palmetto is shade-tolerant, extremely hard-wearing and its thin layer of thatch gives it amazing insulation properties.

One of the most striking features of Palmetto Buffalo is its ability to maintain its colour in the winter months. It succeeds in staying green where other varieties can turn brown or sometimes purple.

Homeowners with children and/or family pets
