Questions
How do I choose between turf and artificial grass?
Consider factors such as maintenance, durability, and appearance. Turf provides a natural look and feel but requires more maintenance. Artificial grass offers a more durable, low-maintenance option, ideal for high-traffic areas.
What causes bare patches on my lawn?
Bare patches can be caused by heavy foot traffic, pet damage, or insufficient sunlight. Soil compaction and pest infestations are other common culprits that affect healthy grass growth.
How often should I water my lawn?
Watering frequency depends on the type of grass, weather conditions, and soil type. Typically, lawns benefit from deep watering once or twice a week to encourage deeper root growth.
What is the best time of year to lay new turf?
The ideal time to lay new turf is during mild weather conditions, typically in spring or early autumn. This allows the grass to establish roots before facing extreme temperatures.
