Which turf variety best suits your needs?
Choosing the right type of lawn for your landscape can be a confusing task. To help you make the right decision, we’ve put together a handy guide below that compares different turf varieties and their features.
When choosing the right lawn for you, first select varieties that will thrive in the specific conditions of your area – shade, frost etc. From these choices, review the Wear Factor and choose a variety that will best suit the needs of your whole family, including children and pets. The most important factor to consider in selecting a turf variety is its ability to survive the intended use of the yard.
