The Benefits Of Lawn Turf

At Berkshire Turf Direct we’ve seen garden trends emerge and fade. We’ve seen the size of gardens diminish to the dimensions of postage stamps and other low maintenance options including artificial turf, patios and decking vie for the attentions of home owners. While there are pros and cons to every surface the benefits of traditional lawn abide.

This post will outline the benefits of lawn turf. Visit our homepage for a thorough appraisal of our turf services.

Environmental Benefits

Just as trees and algae are sources of oxygen, so too is lawn turf. According to the Turf Grass Association, grass is the third most productive source of the air we breathe. Some estimates go so far as to state 1 acre of turf than a comparable area of rainforest. Read the TGA’s site for more information.

Family Friendly

A new lawn can radically enhance the aesthetics of a garden. Unlike decking and patios, turf is the ideal surface to play sports with the family. Turf is a resilient and versatile fabric that is able to withstand running, ball games and other family sports — Without cracking deck boards and pavers along the way.

Cost

The cost of a standard family lawn is significantly cheaper than installing a patio or decking. Turf can be supplied and laid for as little as £4.50m2, in comparison to decking and patios which are at least 3 times more expensive. And significantly more based on your choice of material.

Lawn turf can require more maintenance than other surfaces. This is rarely intensive and typically demands mowing and the use of a sprinkler. Read the lawn care advice posts on our blog for more information.
