It grows so aggressively and densely that it chokes out weeds, saving you labor costs on de-weeding.

Our Installation Process

Professional installation for long-term sustainability.

  1. Site Clearing & Prep

    We remove weeds and stones. Buffalo grass is hardy but requires a clean start to prevent weed competition in the early stages.

  2. Soil Enrichment

    We mix Red Soil and manure. Although Buffalo is tough, enriching the soil ensures faster spreading and a darker green color.

  3. Leveling

    We grade the land to ensure proper slope. This prevents waterlogging, which even hardy grasses like Buffalo dislike.

  4. Installation

    For Mats: Laid tightly for instant effect.
    For Dibbling: Roots planted at 4-inch intervals. Buffalo runners spread quickly to fill gaps.

  5. Rolling & Handover

    We roll the lawn to establish soil contact and water it. We provide a low-maintenance care guide for your new lawn.
