Lawn Turf Range
There are four different types of lawn turf to choose from depending on what you are going to use the lawn for,
and what conditions you have in your garden. For more details on lawn turf types, click on the turf name below.
Please Note: During warm weather and particularly the months of May, June, July and August turf should always
be laid on the day of delivery. On average a novice can lay 50sq.m. in 2 hours if all preparations have been done
beforehand, so there should be plenty of time after work.

Details: Arena is the most widely used lawn turf in the country. It contains the latest varieties of
dwarf ryegrasses to give a really tough lawn - ideal for family use. Gone
are the days of the old types of ryegrass, which were coarse and very fast growing. Today,
the modern ryegrasses are fine-leaved, slow growing, and easy to maintain. They are also very hard wearing, which makes
Arena ideal for family lawns. Some of the grasses we use are the same as those on the centre court at Wimbledon - the best in
the business.

Details: RTF (rhizomatous tall fescue) is the latest innovation in turf. It is a new type of
tall fescue, which produces rhizomes. A rhizome is an underground stem that grows outwards from the main plant, producing
more shoots as it goes. In this way RTF has the ability to produce a nice dense mat of grass.
RTF has quite a broad leaf, so it is not suitable if you want a very fine looking lawn.
RTF has a remarkable root system, that can grow down to a depth of 1.5m (nearly 5 feet!).

Details: Green King, a mixture of fescues and browntop bent, is turf for
golf and bowling greens. Although it is grown mainly for
professional use, we offer it here for the real lawn enthusiast. Because Green King is a specialist turf
it needs the right equipment to keep it in first class condition. For example, you need a cylinder
mower with at least nine blades on the reel, and you will need to mow it two to three times a week when the grass
is growing strongly. You will have to scarify it every so often to keep the thatch under control. And because
the grasses are more prone to disease, you may have to spray it with fungicide in the autumn.
