ANCO INSTANT TURF - SIR WALTER DNA CERTIFIED
Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo lawns have played an important role in over 1 million Aussie backyards. The household name has stood the test of time, continuing to be one of the best choices for Australian homes. This grass has thrived in the Australian climate with its drought tolerance, low maintenance, soft touch, and high wear.
Sir Walter DNA Certified Grass
Sir Walter is the brainchild of Brent Redman, who is a second-generation turf farmer from the Hunter Valley in New South Wales. Brent is also the owner of Buchanan Turf Supplies. Brent began turf cutting in the late ’70s. By the mid-80 he had purchased 20 acres in the rich river flats of Maitland.
At the time buffalo was just buffalo and Brent ended up trialling 5 different varieties within a 2-acre plot. Many turf farmers were having struggles with their buffalo, but Brent realised he was not facing these same troubles with one of the buffalo varieties he had growing on his farm and offered some samples to trial for their farms.
As this buffalo continued to grow on Brent’s farm, a small area was found to be growing which was even better, maintaining a greener winter colour and a healthier root system. This new variant was taking over the existing buffalo. Brent noticed the potential of this new variety and began propagating the grass to protect the purity and integrity of the variety. A variety which would soon become known as Sir Walter.

This grass was named to reflect the qualities that the grass possesses. Initially, the acronym ‘WALT’ was created, standing for ‘Winter Active, Low Thatch’. It was also decided to add a reference to the significant environmental benefits of the grass, with the addition of the ER for ‘Environmentally Responsible'.
The rest is history as they say, with it being expanded and produced right across Australia. Sir Walter today is an ‘Iconically Aussie’ brand and is undoubtedly the most successful commercial turf variety in Australian history.
Sir Walter supplied by accredited and licensed suppliers is now known as Sir Walter DNA Certified. This extension of the name was developed to provide the assurance to consumers that Sir Walter they are buying is DNA tested. This turf matches the original breeder Sir Walter plant material bred at Brent Redmans farm developed over 20 years ago. Only Lawn Solutions Australia turf producers can provide this ‘Original Breeder’ guarantee.
