Buffalo is possibly the worst fraud ever turned loose into the turf world. The only way to recover is to treat it like a normal turf grass. That means you have to water it regularly, fertilize it, and mow it. Even if you do all that, the best you can hope for is a mix of buff and weeds.

If you throw a piece of St Augustine sod out there with the buff, you will have a nice St Aug turf in a couple years.
