If you're thinking of buying a new lawn then this article should cover all you will need to know, before you place your order. There are many different types of lawn turf available online and it may be confusing, but all you need to remember is there are only 2 types of turf - a coarse bladed turf ideal for children and pets which will take a lot of hard wear and a finer bladed leaf turf which is go for show lawns and golf greens.
Firstly you will need to measure your lawn, you will need to know 2 dimensions - the length of your lawn area and the width of your lawn area. To work out how much to need you times the length by the width, divide it by 9 which converts it to metres and then divide again by 1.198 which converts your area to metres.
Next you want to find the turf supplier you wish to use, please take note on what you need to look for firstly do they offer next day delivery turf will be guaranteed fresh if it is, if they do not offer next day delivery you may receive old turf. next do they offer after service and advice. Cheap turf isn't always the best way to buy your turf as most cheap turf is cheap for a reason! Always remember pennies saved now, can cost pounds in the future!
You will also need to make sure that you have good topsoil for your new lawn to be laid on a compost and topsoil mix is what we always recommend as the compost will allow the turf to establish quickly but the topsoil makes the compost not too acidic.
