On behalf of Nollamara Respite House we would like to thank you for the fantastic "Sir Walter Buffalo" lawn that you donated and delivered. It has made a huge difference to the backyard and allows the children a lot more enjoyment.
Thanks again

Dear Dave

It is now just on twelve months since we accepted your expert advice and planted Sir Walter Buffalo.

Enclosed are some recent photographs and it is plainly visible for all to see, why we are absolutely ecstatic. We now have a truly magnificent back lawn, of which, we are justifiably proud.

It continues to take an enormous amount of wear and tear as the boys still give it a real hammering; the dead circles from the dog’s urination and the unsightly dead areas in the winter from lack of sun are now all events of the past. It just bounces back without any mollycoddling on our part.

That lush velvet green look in the photo’s lasted throughout the winter. Its last lot of fertiliser was in March. We’re convinced it needs less water and definitely less fertiliser.

Dave, thank you for recommending Sir Walter, your professionalism and expertise is greatly appreciated. There is no way that we would ever entertain a couch based grass again.

Kind Regards

PS – the old reel mower no longer needs to be so finely tuned to get that great professional appearance.

"...These new grasses are new forms of buffalo, a grass that has stood the test of time in WA, favoured for its ability to grow in our climate in shade or sun and its above ground runners that make it easy to keep under control.
... One of the new varieties seems to have an edge over the others. Sir Walter is a cultivar that has been selected and developed in Australia. Its proponents claim that it is amongst the greenest of grasses in summer and doesn't go off in winter and that it's hard wearing and will grow in sun or shade. They also claim it is drought tolerant and efficient in its water use.
I recently saw some of this grass in a wheatbelt garden. After laying a lawn at the back the owners had a little turf left over and put it on to patches of yellow sand in the front garden. Then they went away for a while. When I saw it a few weeks later it had spread to double its size. What surprised me was that this growth had taken place during a very hot spell and ...if that is the case, Sir Walter will be made welcome wherever he decides to roll up."

Dear David,

We just wanted to take this opportunity to "Thank You" on behalf of Craig and Lesmeri Dodge, for your kindness in donating the turf for them for their back garden.
It is so refreshing to know and see, that there are still companies around who are willing to help people with disabilities in this way. Craig has been wheelchair bound for a number of years now and is not able to physically help with manual work.
We would like you to accept this small gift as a token of our appreciation.
May God bless you richly for your generosity.

Yours sincerely
Pastors Geoff & Carol Parsons

"...The best thing he has EVER had – takes his shoes off every day to take stroll on his lawn, just marvelous, people have seen him battle to keep a lawn looking half decent for years but this one they are commenting on and wanting to know what it is.  Will be ordering some more from us in the middle of March – absolute rave review.  Said he saw an add for Sir Walter on the back of a bus the other day – “It doesn’t get any better than this” he agrees whole heartedly!!  What a wrap!!  I think he does more on his lawn than just stroll, you had to hear him to believe the level of excitement!!"
