FAQs

  • Where did Sir Walter originate?

    Sir Walter was developed in the Hunter Valley in N.S.W. by Buchanan Turf Supplies.

  • How many rolls of turf make up a pallet?

    Usually 55-60 rolls of Sir Walter will fit on a standard pallet. For long travel distances we secure the pallet with plastic wrap which allows the turf to breath.

  • How much soil should I use?

    2" (50mm) is okay, but 4" (100mm) of soil is better. The root system of Sir Walter will penetrate the soil to a depth of about 2 ft (600mm) in good soil with deep irrigation. The deeper the soil, the deeper the roots will penetrate and the more drought tolerant the turf will become. Good turf must have a good root system.

  • How long will the grass keep before it needs to be laid?

    In the cooler months the grass will keep for 4-5 days and in the hotter months only 1-2 days. Place it in the shade in summer.

  • Can I lay turf on sand?

    Yes we have all seen buffalo growing wild at the beach. It is better to put an organic fertiliser such as fowl manure, mushroom compost or Dynamic Lifter down first before laying the turf. This is best incorporated into the soil to a depth of 2-4" (50-100mm) and will help to hold the moisture for the turf.

  • How many pallets will fit on a truck?

    A table top truck 2.40m wide and 7.0m long will hold 10 pallets. A semi trailer will carry 20 pallets. A 'B' Double will carry 30 pallets.

  • How do I prepare the ground when laying on clay?

    Apply Gypsum, which is a clay breaker down first and incorporate it well with a Rotary Hoe.

  • What type of soil should I use?

    We recommend a 60:40, Sand: Soil mix which can be purchased from your local Soil or Nursery Supplier but any type of soil from a sandy loam to a heavier dark Soil can be used provided there is good drainage. Good soil may already exist on site, which may only require weed removal and sometimes the addition of some sandy topsoil to assist in levelling.

  • What size are the rolls of turf?

    1 ROLL = 1m2 Roll size is 450mm wide x 2.22m long (18" wide x 7'5" long) and approx.25mm (1inch) thick. Each roll weighs about 10kg when dry.

  • What is Shademaster Buffalo?

    Shademaster originated in the Hunter Valley of N.S.W. in the mid 1980s, it was the first soft leaf buffalo available. It was then grown in the Sydney area from the early 1990s. However, because of its purple discoloration in winter, other soft leaf buffaloes were developed including Sir Walter which stay greener than Shademaster in Winter.
