Environmental Factors
Sir Walter has proven to be one of the most water and nutrient efficient of the premium lawns. This is due to its tight growth pattern which helps keep moisture in.
It is able to resist many common fungal diseases and pests usually associated with other lawn varieties, leaving you and the environment less exposed to chemicals.
Durability & Wear
Sir Walter is better able to withstand and recover from everyday wear and tear as it has an unusually long growing season with a high density, low thatch characteristic. Sir Walter also has the ability to grow in shaded situations where other varieties such as Kikuyu and Couch would struggle.
Sir Walter is salt tolerant and perfect for coastal areas where salt readings in bore water are unusually high outperforming most other turf varieties in these conditions.
