lawn care tips for australia's favourite shade grass

Welcome to Buffalo Lawn Care!

We love lawns, and we love buffalo grass, and with the recent rise in the use of buffalo grass as a home lawn in Australia, we've created and dedicated an entire site to the care and maintenance of buffalo grass lawns.

Australia's Favourite Shade Grass

There's no doubt about it, Buffalo Grass is indeed Australia's favourite grass for shaded lawn conditions. And with so few other grass types available with the shade tolerance of buffalo, its easy to see why buffalo is number one in shade in Australia.

Despite recent trends to grow buffalo lawns in full sun, this practice is still not recommended due to heavy thatch issues which may arise for buffalo grown in full sun… and thats something the big grass companies will never admit to, but we'll continue to share the most honest buffalo lawn care tips with all Australian lawn owners… and we can do that because we're independent.

No Grass Company Bias

We're independent of the big grass companies, we don't sell grass, and we have absolutely nothing else to sell either. Which means our only reason to exist is to share quality and original lawn care tips for buffalo grass lawn owners in Australia.
