As with any kind of plant or flower, if you are buying turf, you need to choose the right type. This is because different types will thrive in different conditions, meaning that there will be a particular type that is right for your lawn. Here is a brief guide to some of the most common types of turf:
- Fine turf. This is light and has a velvet-like texture. It is most commonly used for bowling greens so probably won’t be suitable for domestic use.
- Shade tolerant turf. This will do well in areas without a lot of sunlight and it also doesn’t need mowing as often as regular grass.
- All-round turf. This is what you will see in most gardens and it will give the most vibrant shade of green. It is also tough, meaning it is good for families with children and pets. It needs cutting fairly regularly and will grow in most conditions, but it will need some sun.
