4 months after a huge renovation on a neglected Sir Walter Buffalo / St Augustine lawn I check in to see how its performing, The results are really impressive
Nothing better than to wake up on a Saturday morning with my coffee and see a notification on my phone to a video from The Aussie Lawn! Today's going to be a great day. Always love the buffalo episodes mate. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for real honest videos. I am in Adelaide and my garden got neglected and then I did some low cuts and applied some slow release fertilizer and start daily watering and now it is coming off well. I did not know actually what worked and only realized what work for Buffalo lawns. I am very thankful that u are very honest and do try to promote products and unnecessary work with machine hires etc. I have a cheap lawn mover and not sure if I need to upgrade but it does the job for as I can see. Second thing is how much watering Buffalo lawn need. SA is much hotter and less rain
Thanks for the kind words mate, I always strive to give honest opinions in all I do on the channel. As for the watering question. At the height of summer the rule of thumb is 25-30mm of water each week done over 2 seperate waterings and slowly backing off as it cools down again
Great video Brenton, I used to cut my buffalo low (with a cylinder mower) but you have convinced me to let it grow. I’m now cutting it at about 30mm and looking much better. Thanks.
I mow mine at 100 mm and even with that I'll miss a week or three between cuts. I like it really tall. At another house I experimented and found it will grow up to 800 mm before it stops growing. Side note: at 800 mm it no longer needs to be watered or fertilized, because the roots are so deep there's always water and nutrients down that deep. It goes months without water and then it rains. Also, no, there were no pests (snakes, rodents, etc.) in the tall grass.
Thank you for your episodes on Sir Walter. I am in SEQ and have had SW for 17 years , and never scalped it. Come spring 2021 I am going to knock mine back like you did with the Reno in Nov. thank you for the insights it has given me confidence to give it a go. Also appreciate the fertiliser info, I will look for this locally as it’s quite a bit cheaper than what I have been buying.
Me too. Thanks heaps for sharing this. Hey any reason why you didn’t aerate the lawn as well? If you were to do that, when would you do it (I’d probably only spike sandals - is it even worth doing?)
My edges are toast on my lawn - SEQ fella as well.. can you scalp just dirty areas or should you do the entire? Majority is shmick just the edges are cooked
2k views in 12 hrs 👌 I think this video will one that people will reference back to when renovating their buffalo! You have done an awesome job showing us how to bring a thatchy old lawn back to mint. Best videos out there on you tube for renovating and maintaining a buffalo Lawns. Looking forward to see how this lawn is looking next summer. Another Great job🍻
G'day big fella, Thanks mate yeah I actually felt this was a great follow up vid too. This lawn will def pop up again from time to time on the channel. Enjoy the rest of your weekend in beautiful Qld
Planned to scalp my 10 year old sir Walter in Brisbane this weekend…order fertiliser…check…start knocking it down…check,,,find old two Stoke victa for the serious scalp..not so much. Getting a bush ranger utility mower so see how it goes as my four year old Honda still has 27mm of material standing. Giving it a core aeration as well as after rebuilding yay house from the 2011 floods a lot of clay from boring out for concrete foundations got spread over the yard. Here’s hoping and praying the 20-30mm of rain forecast comes at end of the day not the beginning..thanks doe this and the ‘massacre’ video. Informative and helpful…and if i kill the whole it’s only grass.
You’re right about the half mulch half catch option on other models. If you’re cutting fine leaf varieties, it all ends up in the catcher and if you’re cutting larger leaf lawns like buffalo, it just clogs up the back end and it all mulches. I use the hrx 217 (the plastic one) for work and it’s an awesome machine. Used to use hru 216 and one noticeable difference is the maximum height of cut. hrx max is about 25mm higher than hru max which is perfect for buffalo in winter.
Another great video mate. Especially the review on that honda model. Almost brought one for Jack, but went the top of the range model instead. Didn't think that one would have enough grunt. Wish your video came out 18 months ago. That model actually looks great. And the buffalo lawn has also come back perfectly. Well done.
Hey Jase, I reckon the one in the vid is perfect for home broadleaf lawns but the one you got Jack is still a better machine esp if you encounter couch lawns, even if it cost a lot more 🤟
ive always been the bloke to either half ass lawn and not really care but lately maybe cause im almost 30 now i really want to get nice lawn as a chef its hard to water etc so thats going to have to be the missos job but the past couple weeks on my days off im either mowing or watching youtube videos on lawn lol. cant wait till spring and i can do a full reno, your vids are good for tips ytou have a new sub
We have Sir Walter on our verge. It stay green all year and it seems to be resilient to dog pee unlike our Sir Graham Zoysia front lawn. It dies at the drop of a hat. We put up with it because it looks so beautiful when it is growing OK.
Excellent follow up to the renovation video. Thanks. I'm targeting April to scalp my lawn near San Antonio. Last week we had two nights with temps of -15C so I'm not totally confident the grass will return. At 4:15 you show the hell strip after scalping. When you see St Aug pull back from concrete like that, it's either a watering problem or chinch bugs. The owners were most likely not watering deep enough on that strip and the hot concrete in summer baked the moisture out of the nearby soil. I see that a little in the present day video at all the concrete interfaces. They should be watering 25 mm, all at one time, every week in the summer. The best herbicide for St Augustine/buffalo is anything that contains atrazine. Don't know if you can get it in AU. It seems to kill all the broadleafs and most of the grasses (but not couch/bermuda). Apply after the 4th mow in spring and a month before the first fertilizer of spring.
Well done Brenton your productions have improved 10 fold with a wealth of information there on Buffalo. Would you mind doing a short video on opening the fertiliser bags about one out of ten times I get it right. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into your productions.
Don't feel bad mate I use to be a wizz at opening those bags now like you im a one in ten also but I'll re hone my fert bag opening skill and throw it in a vid sometime 🤟
Looking good Brenton, that renovation was done at the perfect time given the rain led recovery since. The Murrayas across the front are a good indication, they look like they’ve doubled in size in 4 months. The weather gods may have played havoc with your green, but they’ve sure helped here!
@@theaussielawn yeah I think I need to bite the bullet and upgrade, I have a 2 year old rover which cuts ok but makes big clippings which clogs and only fills the catcher about 2 thirds full and have to manually clear the chute every single time! I understand why most mowers have the engine brake because many blokes would be missing fingers lol. I need a proper mulching mower and just keep the rover for scalping.
@@richardportelli1983 I've had Sir Walter for almost 30 years. I use a small 18 in. cut Victa (not self propelled). Doesn't clog and the catcher fills to the brim. It's all about how high you cut Sir Walter. I use the sixth or seventh notch - In early spring I bring it back to the fourth notch over two mows. Fertilise and pore the water in - then out to the sixth notch for summer.. No other maintenance.
Another awesome video. Was good to see how that lawn came back. Can I ask/suggest... how about a series or a semi reoccurring segment on a lawn/couple sq meters of grass for those of us who can’t/don’t want to spend the income of a small country on fertilisers, turf, etc etc. I’m doing my lawns on a non existent budget and I know lots of people in various FB groups are doing the same. It would be great to see tips etc on how to maintain and improve a “patch of grass”, especially for those of us who rent etc too. Also, mmmm the new shorts are growing on me. 😈
Cracker of a video mate. Helped me decided to go Honda over Toro, you should think about doing a comparison video of the two as there isn’t much out there that’s explains it as well as you just did without trying. ✌🏻
Ben try oxafert to get rid of the couch and winter grass spray to get rid of the kikuyu from buffalo mate. Takes a few applications but I find it helps in my back yard at least helps identify where it is as it will go yellow than I spot spray with a blue dye and reapply. Hope it helps
G'day Blake, Unfortunately Oxafert will not have a negative effect on couch grass (unless it is Santa Ana as it seems to break down a waxy barrier on the leaf and cause damage.)
@@theaussielawn sorry Brenton was having a wet day binge watching yours and Ben’s channels. That’s why you said you don’t use it as yours is that type of couch. I’m out of ideas for your friends place than. Thanks for reply keep up the great videos
Looks good mate they will be happy with that I would be.. that fert sounds abit like what i have started using which is the yara milla balance product here in NZ
I’ve noticed you guys in the states are big on mulching . Next season I’ll do a little experiment with my own buff / st aug. I’ll bag half and mulch half and see what differences I experience
I don't mate unless its to correct a surface level, Top dressing slows buffalo recovery a fair bit.If you search my other videos I did one on my buff at home where I topdressed some of it and left the other untouched. The untouched bounced back much faster.
Lawn looks good 4 moths later I bet it looks even better now. N prob almost ready for another Reno. I’m not a fan of Honda. Prefer masport. But that Honda did a good cut
15 years in that business in California in the 80's and 90's. I'll be frank and say I'm not at all a fan of how you trim the edges along the walkway and driveway. I used a powered blade edger which made for a nice clean edge right at the concrete. What you have is a steep beveled edge which, in my opinion, doesn't look nearly as good. Even when I did use a string trimmer along that type or any other edge I wouldn't make such a steep angle. I kept the edge as vertical as possible.
Hi Brenton. Really enjoyed your video. This may be a beginner Buffalo question. I have over an acre of green stuff on the NSW Central Coast which ranges from a paddock to slash and all kinds of grass. However we do have really nice Sir Walter around our pool area which I guess is about the size of a normal back yard. I mow most of my place with a Greenfield ride-on but mow the Buffalo, which is about 5 years old, with my old Honda HRU216D. Am I meant to do this restoration process regularly, if at all? I don't like the idea of not having nice grass through the Summer swimming season and you recommended doing it late Spring. Cheers, Pete
Hi Pete thanks for tuning in and thanks for your question. If you are currently satisfied with how your buffalo is performing then no I would not worry about it. But down the track should it start to get too hard to mow or too thick and spongy and you and the family are no longer enjoying your Sir Walter then Id say its then time to consider a renovation
Mate new subscriber, really enjoy your vids, my sir walter is 7 years old now just starting to green up now after a rather shorter mow, fertilise, 2 spec elevate, hydrolink, granular soil wetter, just put down activa8mate, seaweed secrets and fertech special fex, looking not to bad, looking at getting a new mower not sure on what? I have 60m2 of grass any suggestions and i really love my lawn also
Thanks for subscribing mate I really appreciate it. Buffalo is always best cut longer than most other warm season grass, Since you don't have a large area to cover maybe consider a battery mower, I will be using the Toro 60v battery mower this season on my buffalo.
No they didn’t mate, however they did plant some runners . I think the edges sorta look the way they do now due to the way they choose to whipper snip their edges
Great video, lawn's looking healthy now, just wondering why you didn't run the mulching option, was the grass too long? The reason I ask is that I know mulching has a lot of benefits for your grass.
It’s not my lawn to make that call mate if they like their lawn clippings collected then I need to follow their wishes. That being said I’ve decided that next season I’m going to cut half my own buffalo with mulch plug and half catcher for the whole season and see if there are any noticeable differences.. I will announce it on the channel in coming weeks I think , that should be a helpful and interesting experiment.
Loved the vid! But is there any chance that a hard "reno" that you did in the first vid, could lead to the buff not coming back or being worse of than before? Sorta have the same situation with my buff, negleted for ages, heavy clay soil, fair few weeds. Should i be worried? Also, should i give it a feed now, survive the winter then do the heavy scalp. Much love
G'day Seth, If you follow the basic rules in the first video you will be fine, as for timing just wait till spring as its cooled off early this year and Im not sure of your location. You can however give your buffalo a feed now and again before winter really sets in.
Subscribed. Excellent videos. I’m struggling with a nature strip that got blitzed by the summer and is struggling. Wondering if you know anyone near Geelong that has your knowledge of St Augustine?
Hi mate thanks for subbing to my channel 🤟 you are an absolute legend, Unfortunately I don't have any Vic connections sorry mate. Feel free to pop me a message on The Aussie Lawn Facebook page if you like attach a pic etc
G'day Richard, Luckily I don't have a huge pest or fungus problem here, Occasionally I might get a little bit of leaf spot or yellowing leaf in the warmer seasons and winter fusarium in the cooler months but all easily treatable with a bit of Iprodione. Pests even less in my part of the country but this year I am trying Acelepryn GR for the first time.
I'm in San Antonio and have been fully organic since 2002. The reason I switched was the fungal problems with St Aug. Local radio host suggested using ordinary corn meal at 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet (10 kilos per 100 sq meters for Oz). I was pleasantly surprised that 3 weeks later I had a full growth of grass where none, NONE, had been growing before. I fully converted and committed that day. I've been using it successfully every year since then. You should be able to find corn meal at a local feed store for under $10 per 50 pound bag.
I'm absolutely copying your methods with my buffalo lawn! If only you were in WA :D! What's the chances you know what type of hedge they had growing on the side there?
When you say "come next year when we do a renovation again"... Why would you do it again? Is it something you recommend doing every year? BTW, I did the same to my SWB 4 weeks ago and it's looking pretty sweet! Thanks for the great videos.
Yeah mate I’d suggest that they do it every year or 2. Glad your swb is kicking arse since you scalped it, It really looks good when it fully recovers hey
Hi Stephen, So the term runner basically means a stolon we sometimes referred to them as runners as the grass stems / branches run across the ground by making a small slice in the ground you can essentially take cuttings and plant the runners in new bare spots for them to cover over and fill in
Great video mate. Just wondered why on the initial reno you didn’t aerate the lawn after the scalp? I tried to find out on the follow up video but I couldn’t find anything
Hi mate, Thinking back I think I covered that in a Q&A an episode or 2 later, but basically there was never a compaction issue to begin with, Tbh Ive never actually even aerated my own buffalo.
@@theaussielawn To follow up on that, if you've every use a surfactant on the lawn, it should never need to be aerated. I suppose never is a strong word, but if you don't use the lawn for football immediately following 2 days or heavy rain, then it should stay aerated simply with the benefit of the surfactant.
Thanks for great videos! I have recently put sor Walter in - last Nov and while most of it is doing really well and is nice green and thick I have one section that looks really dead and thin. It still has runners but I have no idea what to do to it to give it the best chance at recovery... it is in a spot that doesn't get much sun especially over winter. Do you have any advice I'm? I'm in Victoria if that help
Hi Kaye, In a nut shell there is no chemicals on the market to control couch grass in a buffalo lawn, As buffalo is a home lawn variety limited money is invested into selective chemical controls. Where as couch grass is widely used in the sporting area there is much more time and money invested into developing chemicals to control other grass types from it.
unfortunately all those amazing lush green cool season turf types are not suitable for our hot long summers. If you happen to live in Tassie for example you could run it 365 days a year
Hey Brenton, I was wondering the progress on this lawn. I replicated the Reno process you did on this lawn with my SWB (I even went and purchased the exact same products you used - 2Sec and hydrolink advanced) I'm just curious how often to water it now? I live in a really warm climate where it's 40⁰ everyday and probably will be the same climate right up until around April. So I've been watering 3 times per week. Should I be watering less?
Aim for mm of water as apposed to time spent watering. Do you have sandy type soil or more heavy / clay type soil? Is your 40ctemps dry or humid? But to give you a basic idea if i was getting non stop 40's here I would aim for 30mm of irrigation per week done over 2 seperate waterings. Hope this helps mate
@@theaussielawn the soil is clay based. The humidity is usually very low, but lately has been high (have had some decent rain over the last month) Ok cool I'll aim for the 30mm per week over 2 waterings. Hopefully I can report some good news soon. Thanks Brenton!
@@theaussielawn - Absolutely right to say it's not the frequency that matters most but how much. So often people water too little but very often which is worse than watering more, but less often. You can water 10 times a day but if it's not enough volume it will never go down deep enough into the soil and the roots will be dry. Deep watering is critical.
Hey mate watching back through the old vids, and seen you saying you can’t get couch out of buffalo without ripping it out and starting again. I’m Doing 2 brand new lawns front and back yard. Was planning to do tiftuf front and back but have a fair bit of shade in the back so might be looking at buffalo. Using the same mower am I likely to bring some couch from the front to back yard. (Would I need to wash the mower between front and back yard mows?) or not recommend to have two different lawns like those 2 front and back?
no in that instance you should have too much concern about bringing in couch. Reason being the seed on the tiftuf is sterile and if you are worried you can always start my mowing the buffalo finishing on the couch lawn.
Hey brenton, shit these videos are amazing. My SWB grows so off, some patches grow beautifully with broad leaf, then other sections, mainly the centre, it’s dry and it throws up seeds so often. It gets watered often, could it be a run off / non level lawn issue?
Hi mate it could be many things to be honest. Without seeing a pic its hard to say / advise. But water and food is always a good start. Remember to aim for 25-30mm of water on your lawn during the warmer summer months spread out over 2 waterings a week
Yes it should be, where im not sure but I know of people using it in Branxton (you should try some rural supply stores ) its not a big box store product line
What height of cut do u recommend for st Augustine grass in Florida? Were told to cut it at 4" or higher. I'd like to go lower but been told it's not a good idea
I too like it long Robbie BUT there are plenty of people here in Australia mowing theirs at under 2" If you do want a shorter St Aug lawn see how you go at 2"3/4. I know the LCN is all about tall tall tall but its not a rule just an opinion. Hope this helps 😎 Cheers B
Great Vid, I've recently replaced all my front yard lawn with Santa Ana couch, It has finally rooted down nicely, I noticed you mentioned the Honda lawn mower you used on the buffalo on this clip isn't really suitable for couch, I'm looking to improve my knowledge on how to best look after couch, I realise it's one of the more high maintenance types, knowing this i'm still marching ahead, just wondering what type of lawn mower for a standard home size lawn, do you think is best to mow my Santa Ana? i'm currently just using a cheap 4 stroke rotary, is there something else that wont necessarily break the bank that can give me a more precise cleaner cut., what's the best height to keep the lawn at 25mm?
Hi mate if u don’t want the expense of going down the cylinder mower road. I really think you can’t go past a Honda HRU, check out my dedicated video on it. I would keep my Santa Ana at about the 3rd lowest notch on that particular mower and that leaves you 2 lower settings for your annual couch scalps
Thanks for that, I'll check the vid out, would love a cylinder mower but not sure I could justify the cost, my patch isn't anywhere near yours in size, if you think there's one out there descent/affordable enough I can get my hands on then I'd be happy to look more into it. thanks again! Appreciate it
Diet can play a role in this. I’ve found premium dry food and raw foods such as chicken necks and eggs (cooked egg) minimises burn in fact most often max’s wee doesn’t kill my lawn
Hi Brenton, is this the first mow after the renovation? What height are you maintain on this lawn? I renovated my sir Walter buffalo about 3 weeks ago and the regrowing has been quite slow and I am yet to mow as it’s not at the height I want (dropped to about 30mm to 35mm for renovation, current around 50mm but still patchy).
Hey there Sebastian , I like to allow the lawn to grow longer than my new height of cut. In other words don’t slowly bring the height up let it grow right up above the mowing height then clip the tips off it. That lawn is just under 3” tall say 7cm
@@theaussielawn thanks Brenton. Your videos will be mirrored exactly late next spring here in Melbourne. I was too nervous being aggressive on my Sir Walter given is just under 1 year old. Can I ask, after renovating in early October, how long would you expect a Sir Walter to bounce back? Considering how slow this spring has been down south, I was thinking it’ll probably be December or Jan? What’s your thoughts.
@@theaussielawn thanks mate I’ll leave it for this year and see how it recovers after my initial renovation and give it a crack next year. Appreciate your help.
Brenton sorry mate one more question. Since I did my light renovation, I’ve noticed that some of newer growth starts off a lighter green before turning dark green, and some grows dark green from the start. What’s your thoughts on this? Is there anything I need to do? I noticed that in the update video for this lawn you renovated, it looked a lighter green so thought it may be because it’s all new growth? I fertilised with Lawn Solutions Australia buffalo in October so I wouldn’t think it’s due to nutrients deficiency…
Hi Brenton, can you please answer a couple of questions for me regarding sir Walter buffalo lawn I noticed you didn’t dethatch the lawn, but just scalp. Should I just scalp my lawn at the start of every growing season? Or should I de-thatch and then scalp? Will de thatching harm the stolens ?
Hi Matt, although you can technically scarify buffalo I would keep that as an absolute last resort. If you get it wrong you risk losing your lawn. I just go with the annual close shave and that’s good enough. Although I did use the scarifier on a sir Walter buff lawn a few weeks back as it had never been renovated in its 20-25yr life … (there is some footage on my Instagram page) .
@@theaussielawn thanks Brenton. That’s exactly what I needed to know. Appreciate your help mate. I see from your sir Walter buffalo Reno video that you mention it’s hard to completely eradicate other lawn varieties and grasses that infest buffalo. What’s your recommendation? I have this annoying what I think is winter grass. Long thin stuff!
I agree you can get rid of it, but not with a herbicide. I mow at 100 mm every other week or so. When the buffalo is that tall, the coarse blades provide too much shade for couch to survive. My entire lawn used to be couch and prairie grasses, and now it's all buffalo. Wish I could post before and after pix here.

I look forward to viewing your videos each week Brenton. You have encouraged me to persevere with my own lawn. It's looking great!
Cheers mate this video proves you can turn a bad lawn into a nice lawn even if it has a mix of grass types in it
Nothing better than to wake up on a Saturday morning with my coffee and see a notification on my phone to a video from The Aussie Lawn! Today's going to be a great day. Always love the buffalo episodes mate. Keep up the amazing work.

Oh awesome mate let me know what you think about it longer after a season or so 🤟
I mow mine at 100 mm and even with that I'll miss a week or three between cuts. I like it really tall. At another house I experimented and found it will grow up to 800 mm before it stops growing. Side note: at 800 mm it no longer needs to be watered or fertilized, because the roots are so deep there's always water and nutrients down that deep. It goes months without water and then it rains.

Good luck mate hope the Bush ranger goes nice and low for you 😎
You’re right about the half mulch half catch option on other models.
If you’re cutting fine leaf varieties, it all ends up in the catcher and if you’re cutting larger leaf lawns like buffalo, it just clogs up the back end and it all mulches.
I use the hrx 217 (the plastic one) for work and it’s an awesome machine.
Used to use hru 216 and one noticeable difference is the maximum height of cut. hrx max is about 25mm higher than hru max which is perfect for buffalo in winter.
Yeah I really like the yankie Hondas for longer mowing. Good to hear that half mulch half catch is as expected haha
Another great video mate. Especially the review on that honda model. Almost brought one for Jack, but went the top of the range model instead. Didn't think that one would have enough grunt.

Thanks for the sub mate 😎 Best of luck with your lawn journey
We have Sir Walter on our verge. It stay green all year and it seems to be resilient to dog pee unlike our Sir Graham Zoysia front lawn. It dies at the drop of a hat. We put up with it because it looks so beautiful when it is growing OK.
Great video, thanks ! I have a buffalo lawn in my backyard and love it, not too short though.
Ah nice one mate and really appreciate the support with my channel
Love the one you’re with lawn.
It’s still a beaut !!!! 🤘🏼
Cheers mate 🤟
Excellent follow up to the renovation video. Thanks. I'm targeting April to scalp my lawn near San Antonio. Last week we had two nights with temps of -15C so I'm not totally confident the grass will return.

Don't feel bad mate I use to be a wizz at opening those bags now like you im a one in ten also but I'll re hone my fert bag opening skill and throw it in a vid sometime 🤟

Looking good Brenton, that renovation was done at the perfect time given the rain led recovery since. The Murrayas across the front are a good indication, they look like they’ve doubled in size in 4 months. The weather gods may have played havoc with your green, but they’ve sure helped here!

Looks like finally a decent mower for buffalo in Australia.
G'day Richard, I really think it is mate, so easy and light to use for such a big mower
@@theaussielawn yeah I think I need to bite the bullet and upgrade, I have a 2 year old rover which cuts ok but makes big clippings which clogs and only fills the catcher about 2 thirds full and have to manually clear the chute every single time! I understand why most mowers have the engine brake because many blokes would be missing fingers lol. I need a proper mulching mower and just keep the rover for scalping.
@@richardportelli1983 I've had Sir Walter for almost 30 years. I use a small 18 in. cut Victa (not self propelled). Doesn't clog and the catcher fills to the brim. It's all about how high you cut Sir Walter. I use the sixth or seventh notch - In early spring I bring it back to the fourth notch over two mows. Fertilise and pore the water in - then out to the sixth notch for summer.. No other maintenance.
Another awesome video. Was good to see how that lawn came back. Can I ask/suggest... how about a series or a semi reoccurring segment on a lawn/couple sq meters of grass for those of us who can’t/don’t want to spend the income of a small country on fertilisers, turf, etc etc. I’m doing my lawns on a non existent budget and I know lots of people in various FB groups are doing the same. It would be great to see tips etc on how to maintain and improve a “patch of grass”, especially for those of us who rent etc too. Also, mmmm the new shorts are growing on me. 😈
That could be an idea mate leave it with me and ill see what i can come up with
Cracker of a video mate. Helped me decided to go Honda over Toro, you should think about doing a comparison video of the two as there isn’t much out there that’s explains it as well as you just did without trying. ✌🏻

G'day Blake, Unfortunately Oxafert will not have a negative effect on couch grass (unless it is Santa Ana as it seems to break down a waxy barrier on the leaf and cause damage.)

I like to mulch my St.aug and put it back in for the nutrients. It seems to work for me.
I’ve noticed you guys in the states are big on mulching . Next season I’ll do a little experiment with my own buff / st aug. I’ll bag half and mulch half and see what differences I experience
Well done! 💪🏻💪🏻
Thanks mate
Great video, there's not many videos or instructions on buffalo so it's really helpful. Do you ever top dress buffalo after cutting it right back?
I don't mate unless its to correct a surface level, Top dressing slows buffalo recovery a fair bit.If you search my other videos I did one on my buff at home where I topdressed some of it and left the other untouched. The untouched bounced back much faster.
Lawn looks good 4 moths later I bet it looks even better now. N prob almost ready for another Reno. I’m not a fan of Honda. Prefer masport. But that Honda did a good cut
The owners actually did a light renovation yesterday I believe. So I reckon in a couple weeks time it will be sweet as once again
15 years in that business in California in the 80's and 90's. I'll be frank and say I'm not at all a fan of how you trim the edges along the walkway and driveway. I used a powered blade edger which made for a nice clean edge right at the concrete. What you have is a steep beveled edge which, in my opinion, doesn't look nearly as good. Even when I did use a string trimmer along that type or any other edge I wouldn't make such a steep angle. I kept the edge as vertical as possible.
Blade edgers have never been hugely popular here in AU but in recent years are gaining popularity. Im currently looking at options myself 😎

Aye looks awesome mate ..
Thanks mate 🤟
Hi Brenton. Really enjoyed your video. This may be a beginner Buffalo question. I have over an acre of green stuff on the NSW Central Coast which ranges from a paddock to slash and all kinds of grass. However we do have really nice Sir Walter around our pool area which I guess is about the size of a normal back yard. I mow most of my place with a Greenfield ride-on but mow the Buffalo, which is about 5 years old, with my old Honda HRU216D. Am I meant to do this restoration process regularly, if at all? I don't like the idea of not having nice grass through the Summer swimming season and you recommended doing it late Spring. Cheers, Pete
Hi Pete thanks for tuning in and thanks for your question. If you are currently satisfied with how your buffalo is performing then no I would not worry about it. But down the track should it start to get too hard to mow or too thick and spongy and you and the family are no longer enjoying your Sir Walter then Id say its then time to consider a renovation
@@theaussielawn Thanks
Mate new subscriber, really enjoy your vids, my sir walter is 7 years old now just starting to green up now after a rather shorter mow, fertilise, 2 spec elevate, hydrolink, granular soil wetter, just put down activa8mate, seaweed secrets and fertech special fex, looking not to bad, looking at getting a new mower not sure on what? I have 60m2 of grass any suggestions and i really love my lawn also
Thanks for subscribing mate I really appreciate it. Buffalo is always best cut longer than most other warm season grass, Since you don't have a large area to cover maybe consider a battery mower, I will be using the Toro 60v battery mower this season on my buffalo.
Did they consider adding additional turf along the bare edges? Little bit of shovel work after renovation to fit some turf.
No they didn’t mate, however they did plant some runners . I think the edges sorta look the way they do now due to the way they choose to whipper snip their edges
Great video, lawn's looking healthy now, just wondering why you didn't run the mulching option, was the grass too long? The reason I ask is that I know mulching has a lot of benefits for your grass.
It’s not my lawn to make that call mate if they like their lawn clippings collected then I need to follow their wishes. That being said I’ve decided that next season I’m going to cut half my own buffalo with mulch plug and half catcher for the whole season and see if there are any noticeable differences.. I will announce it on the channel in coming weeks I think , that should be a helpful and interesting experiment.
@@theaussielawn Americans have not always been pro mulching. I bagged tons of grass before learning the benefits of mulching and actually trying it.
Loved the vid! But is there any chance that a hard "reno" that you did in the first vid, could lead to the buff not coming back or being worse of than before? Sorta have the same situation with my buff, negleted for ages, heavy clay soil, fair few weeds. Should i be worried? Also, should i give it a feed now, survive the winter then do the heavy scalp. Much love
G'day Seth, If you follow the basic rules in the first video you will be fine, as for timing just wait till spring as its cooled off early this year and Im not sure of your location. You can however give your buffalo a feed now and again before winter really sets in.
Hi sir, what are those hedges you have at the front running along the fence? they look fantastic!
Subscribed. Excellent videos. I’m struggling with a nature strip that got blitzed by the summer and is struggling. Wondering if you know anyone near Geelong that has your knowledge of St Augustine?
Hi mate thanks for subbing to my channel 🤟 you are an absolute legend, Unfortunately I don't have any Vic connections sorry mate. Feel free to pop me a message on The Aussie Lawn Facebook page if you like attach a pic etc
How is that mower going? I have heard that the drive belt can get clogged with grass if used on wet grass.
Hi mate, where In the country are you located? Looking for a similar renovation on my buffalo as the one in the video. I'm in Sydney
Hey there mate, I’m based in Scone NSW
Looks great. Do you need to do anything for fungus/pests? They destroy my St Augustine/Buffalo in Florida if left untreated.
G'day Richard, Luckily I don't have a huge pest or fungus problem here, Occasionally I might get a little bit of leaf spot or yellowing leaf in the warmer seasons and winter fusarium in the cooler months but all easily treatable with a bit of Iprodione. Pests even less in my part of the country but this year I am trying Acelepryn GR for the first time.
I'm in San Antonio and have been fully organic since 2002. The reason I switched was the fungal problems with St Aug. Local radio host suggested using ordinary corn meal at 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet (10 kilos per 100 sq meters for Oz). I was pleasantly surprised that 3 weeks later I had a full growth of grass where none, NONE, had been growing before. I fully converted and committed that day. I've been using it successfully every year since then. You should be able to find corn meal at a local feed store for under $10 per 50 pound bag.
I'm absolutely copying your methods with my buffalo lawn! If only you were in WA :D! What's the chances you know what type of hedge they had growing on the side there?
I think you are referring to the Murraya en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murraya_paniculata
@@theaussielawn Wonderful! Thank you :D
When you say "come next year when we do a renovation again"... Why would you do it again? Is it something you recommend doing every year? BTW, I did the same to my SWB 4 weeks ago and it's looking pretty sweet! Thanks for the great videos.
Yeah mate I’d suggest that they do it every year or 2.
Glad your swb is kicking arse since you scalped it, It really looks good when it fully recovers hey
With regards the street section, what do you mean by "they added some runners"? Is this a piece of turf or something else? Sorry for the dumb question
Hi Stephen, So the term runner basically means a stolon we sometimes referred to them as runners as the grass stems / branches run across the ground by making a small slice in the ground you can essentially take cuttings and plant the runners in new bare spots for them to cover over and fill in
Great video mate. Just wondered why on the initial reno you didn’t aerate the lawn after the scalp? I tried to find out on the follow up video but I couldn’t find anything
Hi mate, Thinking back I think I covered that in a Q&A an episode or 2 later, but basically there was never a compaction issue to begin with, Tbh Ive never actually even aerated my own buffalo.
@@theaussielawn To follow up on that, if you've every use a surfactant on the lawn, it should never need to be aerated. I suppose never is a strong word, but if you don't use the lawn for football immediately following 2 days or heavy rain, then it should stay aerated simply with the benefit of the surfactant.
Thanks for great videos! I have recently put sor Walter in - last Nov and while most of it is doing really well and is nice green and thick I have one section that looks really dead and thin. It still has runners but I have no idea what to do to it to give it the best chance at recovery... it is in a spot that doesn't get much sun especially over winter. Do you have any advice I'm? I'm in Victoria if that help
How to get rid of couch trying to spread in buffalo please.?
Hi Kaye, In a nut shell there is no chemicals on the market to control couch grass in a buffalo lawn, As buffalo is a home lawn variety limited money is invested into selective chemical controls. Where as couch grass is widely used in the sporting area there is much more time and money invested into developing chemicals to control other grass types from it.
if i love Kentucky blue grass... whats similar but more suitable for australian climate
unfortunately all those amazing lush green cool season turf types are not suitable for our hot long summers. If you happen to live in Tassie for example you could run it 365 days a year
@@theaussielawn absolutely no alternative or similar or anything even close for NSW
Hey Brenton, I was wondering the progress on this lawn. I replicated the Reno process you did on this lawn with my SWB (I even went and purchased the exact same products you used - 2Sec and hydrolink advanced)
I'm just curious how often to water it now? I live in a really warm climate where it's 40⁰ everyday and probably will be the same climate right up until around April. So I've been watering 3 times per week. Should I be watering less?
Aim for mm of water as apposed to time spent watering. Do you have sandy type soil or more heavy / clay type soil? Is your 40ctemps dry or humid? But to give you a basic idea if i was getting non stop 40's here I would aim for 30mm of irrigation per week done over 2 seperate waterings. Hope this helps mate
@@theaussielawn the soil is clay based. The humidity is usually very low, but lately has been high (have had some decent rain over the last month)
Ok cool I'll aim for the 30mm per week over 2 waterings. Hopefully I can report some good news soon. Thanks Brenton!
@@comarin2329 Please do mate
@@theaussielawn - Absolutely right to say it's not the frequency that matters most but how much. So often people water too little but very often which is worse than watering more, but less often. You can water 10 times a day but if it's not enough volume it will never go down deep enough into the soil and the roots will be dry. Deep watering is critical.
@@need100k Absolutely mate 😎
Hey mate watching back through the old vids, and seen you saying you can’t get couch out of buffalo without ripping it out and starting again.
I’m Doing 2 brand new lawns front and back yard. Was planning to do tiftuf front and back but have a fair bit of shade in the back so might be looking at buffalo.
Using the same mower am I likely to bring some couch from the front to back yard. (Would I need to wash the mower between front and back yard mows?) or not recommend to have two different lawns like those 2 front and back?
no in that instance you should have too much concern about bringing in couch. Reason being the seed on the tiftuf is sterile and if you are worried you can always start my mowing the buffalo finishing on the couch lawn.
Hey brenton, shit these videos are amazing. My SWB grows so off, some patches grow beautifully with broad leaf, then other sections, mainly the centre, it’s dry and it throws up seeds so often. It gets watered often, could it be a run off / non level lawn issue?
Hi mate it could be many things to be honest. Without seeing a pic its hard to say / advise. But water and food is always a good start. Remember to aim for 25-30mm of water on your lawn during the warmer summer months spread out over 2 waterings a week
@@theaussielawn Without seeing a pic its hard to say / advise... agree. This is most definitely NOT a good forum for conversations and advice giving.
Great vid Brenton , is that fert Nitrophoska avail in Newy?
Yes it should be, where im not sure but I know of people using it in Branxton (you should try some rural supply stores ) its not a big box store product line
What height of cut do u recommend for st Augustine grass in Florida? Were told to cut it at 4" or higher. I'd like to go lower but been told it's not a good idea
I too like it long Robbie BUT there are plenty of people here in Australia mowing theirs at under 2" If you do want a shorter St Aug lawn see how you go at 2"3/4. I know the LCN is all about tall tall tall but its not a rule just an opinion. Hope this helps 😎 Cheers B
my swb is getting smashed with fungal problems, constant rain at night in syd for last 3 months. struggling to stay on top of it atm

Great Vid, I've recently replaced all my front yard lawn with Santa Ana couch, It has finally rooted down nicely, I noticed you mentioned the Honda lawn mower you used on the buffalo on this clip isn't really suitable for couch, I'm looking to improve my knowledge on how to best look after couch, I realise it's one of the more high maintenance types, knowing this i'm still marching ahead, just wondering what type of lawn mower for a standard home size lawn, do you think is best to mow my Santa Ana? i'm currently just using a cheap 4 stroke rotary, is there something else that wont necessarily break the bank that can give me a more precise cleaner cut., what's the best height to keep the lawn at 25mm?
Hi mate if u don’t want the expense of going down the cylinder mower road. I really think you can’t go past a Honda HRU, check out my dedicated video on it. I would keep my Santa Ana at about the 3rd lowest notch on that particular mower and that leaves you 2 lower settings for your annual couch scalps
Thanks for that, I'll check the vid out, would love a cylinder mower but not sure I could justify the cost, my patch isn't anywhere near yours in size, if you think there's one out there descent/affordable enough I can get my hands on then I'd be happy to look more into it. thanks again! Appreciate it
Any suggestions on dog urine burn on buffalo grass?
Diet can play a role in this. I’ve found premium dry food and raw foods such as chicken necks and eggs (cooked egg) minimises burn in fact most often max’s wee doesn’t kill my lawn
What height do you reccomend cutting buffalo ?
I think it works best from 40mm and up
Dead Cat . Buy a yellow dish Scarer peel the green off cut a hole in it for the mic. Hay presto no wind noise.
Thanks for the tip mate 😎🤟
Can we please have an update video on this lawn mate?
Unfortunately they have now sold the property and its not been maintained since
Hi Brenton, is this the first mow after the renovation? What height are you maintain on this lawn? I renovated my sir Walter buffalo about 3 weeks ago and the regrowing has been quite slow and I am yet to mow as it’s not at the height I want (dropped to about 30mm to 35mm for renovation, current around 50mm but still patchy).
Hey there Sebastian ,
I like to allow the lawn to grow longer than my new height of cut. In other words don’t slowly bring the height up let it grow right up above the mowing height then clip the tips off it. That lawn is just under 3” tall say 7cm
@@theaussielawn thanks Brenton. Your videos will be mirrored exactly late next spring here in Melbourne. I was too nervous being aggressive on my Sir Walter given is just under 1 year old. Can I ask, after renovating in early October, how long would you expect a Sir Walter to bounce back? Considering how slow this spring has been down south, I was thinking it’ll probably be December or Jan? What’s your thoughts.

Brenton sorry mate one more question. Since I did my light renovation, I’ve noticed that some of newer growth starts off a lighter green before turning dark green, and some grows dark green from the start. What’s your thoughts on this? Is there anything I need to do? I noticed that in the update video for this lawn you renovated, it looked a lighter green so thought it may be because it’s all new growth? I fertilised with Lawn Solutions Australia buffalo in October so I wouldn’t think it’s due to nutrients deficiency…

I noticed you didn’t dethatch the lawn, but just scalp. Should I just scalp my lawn at the start of every growing season?
Or should I de-thatch and then scalp? Will de thatching harm the stolens ?
Hi Matt, although you can technically scarify buffalo I would keep that as an absolute last resort. If you get it wrong you risk losing your lawn. I just go with the annual close shave and that’s good enough. Although I did use the scarifier on a sir Walter buff lawn a few weeks back as it had never been renovated in its 20-25yr life … (there is some footage on my Instagram page) .

Incorrect on the couch grass, you can get rid of it with a selective herbicide. Don't have to "just live with it".
Oh cool I stand corrected what’s the selective herbicide mate I’ll look into it ?
Whats the name of the selectve herbicide mate? I think your talking bullshit?
I agree you can get rid of it, but not with a herbicide. I mow at 100 mm every other week or so. When the buffalo is that tall, the coarse blades provide too much shade for couch to survive. My entire lawn used to be couch and prairie grasses, and now it's all buffalo. Wish I could post before and after pix here.
