There is always a misconception about what season and what time during the year is best to lay turf. Realistically, you can lay turf any time of the year in the UK. If you’re looking for an exact date, early spring or mid-autumn are usually the perfect seasons. This is due to the ideal weather and soil conditions.  

Just like any natural lawn, to get the best from it in terms of appearance and performance, you need to look after it. But when a lawn such as a bowling lawn has a sporting purpose, it requires a little more care and consideration to ensure it doesn’t impede your game.  

Wild flower turf is a wonderful investment for you, your garden, and the environment! And it’s a gorgeous sight when your wild flowers are blooming with colour and thriving with tall, strong stems. But with its unique mixture of floral species, how can you effectively care for wild flower turf to produce a healthy and stunning floral display? 

Right now, the UK is experiencing some rather glorious hot and sunny weather. Although this is great for family BBQs and summer garden parties, prolonged hot temperatures can significantly impact our lawn’s health and appearance without the right care and attention.

Transforming your garden with a lush, green lawn is easier than you might think. Turf rolls offer a quick and effective solution to achieve that perfect, carpet-like finish in your outdoor space. These pre-grown strips of grass are expertly cultivated and carefully harvested, ensuring that your lawn looks vibrant and healthy from day one. 

Since the 1930s, we have witnessed a dramatic decline in our wildflower meadows, with nearly 97% lost to urbanisation, agricultural practices, and other land-use changes. This loss has had significant ecological repercussions, diminishing habitats for a wide range of wildlife and reducing biodiversity.

There’s something about a bowling lawn that is charismatically British. From its short, neat cut to its rich green colour, it visually represents British summer! But not all lawns look like this. So, what makes bowls turf different? Is there a particular type of bowling green turf? And how do you maintain the perfect bowling green? 

Trident, Greens, Shade Tolerant, RTF – there are so many different types of turf available. But what’s the difference between them, and which turf is best for your garden project? We’ve decided to put some focus on one of the more underrated turfs: Rhizomatous Tall Fescue. However, once you read our list of benefits for RTF, your opinion, like many others, might change!  

When it comes to landscaping and decorating our gardens, we naturally jump to grass, flowerbeds, potted plants and maybe a seating area – it’s pretty standard! But with our new range of stylish stones, charming cobbles, perfect paving, pebbles, chippings and gravel, there are so many ways to shape your garden and put your stamp on it.  

When it’s time to revamp your lawn, where do you begin? You’ve chosen your high quality turf, but how many rolls do you need to complete the project? Gardens come in various shapes and sizes, so there’s no one-size-fits-all formula.
