Two buffalo varieties, one reliable source
Your Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Supplier for Sir Walter and Matilda
A good supplier does more than load pallets. They help you choose the right variety, give you a firm date and make sure the turf arrives in condition to establish. We supply two soft leaf buffalo options, Sir Walter and Matilda, and talk you through which suits your sun, shade and foot traffic.
Both varieties have broad, soft blades that are gentle on bare feet, kids and pets, and both grow more slowly than couch or Kikuyu, so mowing is less frequent. Once you order, we cut to order and usually have your turf ready within a day or two for pickup or delivery.
In short: Arrow Turf is a family-owned turf farm at Cornwallis that has supplied lawns for more than 45 years. We provide Sir Walter and Matilda soft leaf buffalo to homes and trades across Greater Sydney. Costs depend on area, variety, delivery distance and installation, and orders are typically ready within a day or two.

Choosing a Supplier
A Dependable Buffalo Supplier for Homes and Trades
The supplier you choose has a big say in how your new lawn turns out. Homeowners need clear guidance and a delivery that lines up with their prepared soil. Landscapers and builders need repeat orders that arrive on time and look the same as the last load. If any of that goes wrong, turf can sit in the sun, crews stand idle and the finished lawn struggles. Picking a reliable soft leaf buffalo supplier avoids those costly delays and gives the new lawn its best possible start.
We handle orders directly from our own farm, so there is no waiting on a third party. You choose the variety, quantity and whether to collect, receive a forklift delivery six days a week or book our installation crews. We confirm the details, cut the turf fresh and keep you informed. If you are still deciding on a grass, start by comparing Sir Walter, Matilda and other varieties.

Supplier Headaches Solved
Late Loads, Wrong Varieties and Dry Rolls: What a Good Supplier Prevents
Choosing the wrong supplier often shows up only on the day turf arrives. Here are three issues we work hard to keep off your site, whether you are a homeowner or a landscaper laying turf for a client.
Being sold the wrong buffalo. Not every soft leaf buffalo suits every yard. We ask about shade, wear and how you use the lawn, then recommend Sir Walter or Matilda accordingly so the turf has the best chance of thriving.
Turf arriving dry and yellowing. Rolls harvested days earlier can lose moisture and colour. Our turf is cut to order on our Hawkesbury farm and travels straight to you, so it is fresh enough to lay the day it arrives.
Pallets left blocking the driveway. A delivery dumped on the kerb means extra carrying and a pallet to dispose of. Our trucks carry forklifts to place turf where you need it, and we take the pallets away.
Supplier Price Drivers
How Much Does a Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Supplier Charge?
What you pay a supplier for soft leaf buffalo depends on the size of your lawn, whether you choose Sir Walter or Matilda, and how the turf reaches you. Collecting from the farm, booking delivery or adding installation each change the total, as do access and site preparation. See the table below.
| Price driver | How it affects your cost |
|---|---|
| Variety | Soft leaf buffalo sits in our premium price range per m². |
| Lawn area | Turf is priced per square metre, and larger orders can attract better rates. |
| Pickup, delivery or installation | Collecting from our farm avoids a delivery charge; delivery and laying are quoted on top. |
| Extras | Turf underlay, lawn starter fertiliser or water crystals add to the total. |

Buffalo Supply Areas
Sourced From Our Cornwallis Farm, Supplied Across Greater Sydney
All of our Sir Walter and Matilda is grown at 104 Cornwallis Road, Cornwallis, beside the Hawkesbury River. Our family has managed this farm for more than 45 years, and we harvest each order to suit the customer instead of cutting in bulk and hoping it sells. That is the simplest way we know to keep supply fresh and consistent.
We supply soft leaf buffalo to homeowners, landscapers, builders, schools and councils across Greater Sydney and the Hawkesbury. Pick up from the farm with loading help, or have the turf delivered six days a week on trucks that place the pallets and remove them afterwards.
How We Handle Your Supply Order Start to Finish
We aim to make ordering soft leaf buffalo predictable. These four steps show how a supply order runs, from confirming your measurements to the turf being laid and watered in.
1. Measure your lawn: work out the square metres you need, or send us your measurements to double-check.
2. Choose how you receive it: collect from our farm, book delivery six days a week, or have our crew install it.
3. We cut it fresh: your turf is harvested to order and usually ready within a day or two.
4. Lay and water in: lay it on the day it arrives and water deeply for the first few weeks.
Shade, Wear and Mowing: Matching the Right Buffalo to Your Yard
Beyond reliability, a good supplier helps you pick turf that suits the site, and these are the factors we weigh up with you.
Lawns in part shade. Soft leaf buffalo copes with part shade better than most turf types, which makes it a natural pick for yards with trees, fences or neighbouring homes. We will help you decide which variety fits your light levels.
Bare feet, kids and pets. The broad, soft blades are gentle on bare feet and paws, and the grass is tough enough for everyday family use. That makes either variety a comfortable choice for active backyards.
Owners who want less mowing. Slower growth than couch or Kikuyu means fewer mows through the year. If low upkeep is a priority, soft leaf buffalo is a sensible place to start.
Dry summer weather. Both varieties handle dry Sydney summers once established. Following our watering guidance for the first three weeks gives the roots the best start.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Soft Leaf Buffalo Grass Supplier Service
What should I look for in a soft leaf buffalo grass supplier?
Look for a soft leaf buffalo grass supplier that grows its own turf, cuts to order and can explain the differences between varieties. Clear delivery dates, forklift placement and pallet recovery also make a big difference. Arrow Turf ticks those boxes from our family farm at Cornwallis.
Should I choose Sir Walter or Matilda?
Both are soft leaf buffalo grasses with broad, soft blades and good shade tolerance. Matilda is Australian-bred with finer stems, and Sir Walter is a well-known choice for family lawns. Tell us about your yard’s sun, shade and use, and we will recommend one.
How far ahead do I need to order from your supplier service?
Our turf is usually ready within a day or two of ordering because we harvest to order. Collecting it yourself? Tell us a day ahead and your buffalo will be cut for next-day pickup. If you have a specific laying date, book early so our soft leaf buffalo grass supplier team can lock it in.
Can you supply soft leaf buffalo for larger projects?
Yes. We supply landscapers, builders, developers and councils as well as homeowners. For big areas, ask about maxi rolls, which cover more ground with fewer joins, and we can schedule harvesting so your soft leaf buffalo arrives when each stage is ready.
Do you supply turf underlay as well?
We can advise on underlay as part of your order. A good 80/20 turf underlay spread at roughly 100 to 150 mm gives soft leaf buffalo a healthy root zone. If you book installation, our crews handle levelling and underlay for you.
What if I am not ready to lay the turf on delivery day?
Turf should be laid on the day it arrives, so the simplest approach is to have your preparation finished before delivery. If you cannot be ready, talk to us about moving the cut date rather than letting the rolls sit, because we harvest to order and can plan around you.
Is a soft leaf buffalo grass supplier able to help with aftercare?
A good one should. We give every customer practical aftercare advice: water deeply once or twice a day for about three weeks, then mow on a high setting after two to three weeks. Our team is happy to answer questions after your soft leaf buffalo is down.
Where can I see your other supply services?
If you need big areas covered, have a look at our maxi roll turf for Sydney, or compare the Matilda soft leaf buffalo page for more detail on that variety. Our team can also quote supply and delivery together.
