Why does my Sir Walter Buffalo grass turf have brown patches?

Brown patches

Hi Bunnings Team and wonderful community,

I have installed the Bunnings sir Walter’s buffalo grass turf couple of days ago. Some of the grass turfs were green however some were brown at the time of purchase.

the roots of the brown grass are white and not able to easily tear however I am concerned whether I have purchased dead turf patches. Please advise if the grass would be green in couple of weeks and does Bunnings sell brown patched buffalo turfs (which might be expected and normal)?.

Thanks a lot Bunnings team. I received the replacement turf from Coolabah and it looks amazing. Appreciate the amazing customer service.

Now that's what I'm talking about @vish9! That looks sensational and would be my expectation for a new lawn.

I do apologise for the inconvenience of having to replace the lawn.

Please keep us updated and reach out if you need further assistance.
