Grub Free Guarantee

Anco’s Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo turf is treated with Acelypryn, giving it season-long protection against lawn grubs.
This product is the latest innovation in controlling grubs in your lawn. Traditionally, to treat grubs in your lawn, you would have to spray several potentially toxic chemicals on the leaf of the plant.

Acelepryn®, however, is a non-toxic insect killer, which, when sprayed onto the leaves, is absorbed and moves upwards within the plant, where it is then digested by the grub, disrupts its feeding patterns, and eventually causes it to starve. Acelepryn® is NOT a poison and is safe for your whole family & your pets.
We believe so much in Acelepryn® we will guarantee that if you find turf damage caused by grubs within three months of delivery of your turf we will re-spray with Acelepryn®.

Your supplier will provide you with critical information which you must follow. There are also great care tips and information available on our website.

To help you get started with caring for your new or existing Sir Walter DNA Certified Buffalo grass, check that you have considered the following tips.

  • How much should I water? Watering supports a deep root system. This helps to keep the turf healthy and resistant to disease and damage. When the lawn is laid, regular watering over the entire lawn is required to prevent the turf drying out. This will help the sub-soil to remain moist. After the lawn has established, water occasionally and wisely. Remember, do not over water your turf or flood it.
  • How often should I mow the lawn? A new lawn should not be mowed immediately. It is essential that the turf establishes and matures. Allow it to grow to around 6 cm so that the grass has planted effectively in the ground. When mowing, never trim more than a third of the leaf. During the summer season, weekly or fortnightly mowing is recommended.
  • Is fertiliser required? When you lay new turf, remember to add nutrients during the first two months. This will help give the grass the nutrients it needs to establish well and grow appropriately. Once the lawn has established, sprinkle fertiliser during the Summer, Autumn and Spring seasons.
  • How to maintain the grass in winter? The grass is a hardy variety and requires little maintenance and mowing during winter conditions. Avoid applying fertiliser during this period of time due to cooler conditions. Do not worry if your turf grows slowly during this season.
  • Does the turf like sunny conditions? Sir Walter Buffalo Grass enjoys both sunny and shaded locations. This means your turf can fully cover your front and back yard and provide a great place to enjoy activities with family, friends and pets.
