Sir walter
Just cut off some runners and plant them in the bare areas.
They'll take off in no time…
This is the OzBargain way.
This is the way.
If the grass is not growing in the patch currently, the soil may need a bit of help. Might be too compacted. Bit of water and soms su shine will havs it covered in no time if the soil is free enough.
Do you have an iPhone? Mine says Bermuda Grass but that's using a snip of your image. The close-ups definitely look like buffalo.
It’s not Bermuda grass/couch,
It’s buffalo, one company that sells buffalo uses the brand name “Sir Walter” for their trademarked varietal.If OP is in Sydney then yes, likely to be one of the many types of soft leaf buffalo. Just do a colour match with the fresh turf slabs at Bunnings
Looks like the green variety.
Looks like a buffalo mostly in the first pic - but impossible to know if its Sir Walter or some other type as that is a registered breed.
I hope you're not planning to use the results as a decision of what to buy…. i just voted because its a poll. I have no clue what this is.
Looks like some moss in the mix as well which could be indicative of low sunlight/ poor drainage/ both.
How many hours of sunlight a day does that area receive? Is the rest of the lawn getting more hours of sunlight a day and looking a lot better? Any trees/ overhanging branches you can trim to get more sunlight?
Or if drainage is an issue you could try and aerate it a bit to help it out and reduce compaction while you're at it.
Once you address any issues that may be getting in the way, regular watering and a decent feed should see it fill in in no time while the weather is still nice and warm.
Edit - Regular mowing can also help encourage lateral growth. So try and give it a cut weekly/ fortnightly rather than monthly or longer while its growing strongly to help encourage it to spread out as much as possible.
its green, green grass
Buffalo. You will not be able to buy seeds. Better to google how to repair buffalo grass and get it to grow and cover the gaps.
TIL the types of grass
Buffalo. Not sure of the type.
You need to fix some drainage issues as shown by the mossy patches. Perhaps dig out some bits and replace with sandy loam. Make sure your lawn has some sort of slope and dig a bit and top dress to get rid of pooling spots.
Dig up bits that are invading edges and replant in your bare patches.
Buffalo is pretty active - it will cover bare spots quickly if you get drainage right.What is the difference between Sir walter buffalo and buffalo grass?
I think I got Sir walter buffalo and I put weed and feed stuff on them and no issues even its tells you not suitable for buffalo grass. Im confused.Soft leaf buffalo cultivars have been developed with softer leaf blades making them softer underfoot. Common varieties are Sir Walter DNA Certified, Matilda, Palmetto, Sapphire. These days landscapers are doing Zoysia and Bermuda (subject to climate).
Most of it looks like buffalo, although photo 3 seems to show something else that grown longer than the buffalo.
No idea if there is any practical difference between buffalo types.
