Have you noticed lush, flawless turf at upscale hotels and resorts? Chances are it’s Sir Walter buffalo grass, Australia’s premium lawn species prized by hospitality venues for its beauty and resilience. As your local J&B Buffalo Turf Supplies agent, we want to highlight all the features that make Sir Walter the top pick among professional hotel groundskeepers and owners for Sydney Lawn and Turf. Read on for a deep dive into this elite turf’s good looks, durability, and ease of maintenance that deliver resort-quality grounds without the headaches.
The Beautiful, Soft Turf Hotel Guests Love
With fine, soft blades and a rich emerald hue, Sir Walter simply looks spectacular. It creates a pristine carpet underfoot that enhances the luxury experience. Guests can’t resist sinking their toes into the cushy mat. The refined aesthetics make hotel lawns “selfie-worthy.”
Unmatched Wear and Traffic Tolerance
No turf withstands heavy foot traffic better than hardy Sir Walter. Hotel grounds suffer constant wear from events, weddings, golf carts and guests exploring the property. Sir Walter thrives under this duress when other varieties become patchy.
Fewer Mowing and Maintenance Demands
Thanks to its slow growth habit, Sir Walter requires less frequent mowing and watering than standard turf. Only monthly fertilization is needed to keep it looking sharp. The reduced upkeep helps hotels operate more efficiently.
Damage Recovery and Self-Repairing Ability
Sir Walter has a phenomenal ability to repair itself from damage through rhizomatous growth. Any bare or thin spots rapidly fill back in on their own. Grounds teams save huge labor costs on resodding efforts.
Choke Out Weeds and Competition
Sir Walter naturally forms an impenetrable mat that blocks sun penetration. This prevents weeds like clover from establishing. Hotel owners enjoy flawless, weed-free turf without using herbicide.
Drought and Flood Tolerance
With deep roots and waxy blades, Sir Walter handles both drought stress and waterlogging with grace. Lush turf stays resilient across seasons and random weather events beyond human control.
Salt Tolerance for Coastal Hotels
Properties near the ocean can opt for a salt-tolerant variety of Sir Walter that thrives despite contact with salty air, rainfall or even occasional ocean spray. Beach resorts remain lush and inviting.
Disease Resistance and Health
Sir Walter has a natural resistance against common turf diseases such as brown patch, gray leaf spot, and dollar spot. Rarely is it necessary to apply fungicides as a preventative measure. The grass remains healthy and vibrant all year round.
Light Shade Thrives
Sir Walter is a great performer even in light shade trees on hotel properties. It tolerates low light better than Bermuda or zoysia. The grounds remain beautiful.
Rich Colors All Year Round
Sir Walter’s dark green pigmentation remains vibrant, even in cooler temperatures. It retains its excellent color and does not discolor or go dormant in winter. It impresses visitors all year round.
