Sometimes choosing turf will not be quite as simple as it seems. In fact, it might be more a case of finding out which options will best suit you, rather than just going with what you already have. The fact of the matter is, though, that you will be able to get a greener garden, or a greener commercial space, or even a healthier golf course, with the right type of turf. Therefore, it is always something that is worth investigating because it could be the case that another type will be more beneficial, and it won’t always be any more expensive, difficult to get hold of, or difficult to grow healthily.

For example, if you are not aware of all the options, you might be tempted to opt for the most standard type of turf because this is all you are aware of. You might choose to order it online without knowing much about the supplier and in these cases, cheaper is very much not always better – there are many factors at play here. This is because it’s always good to be able to meet a turf supplier, see their turf in person in the your area, get a good understanding of the options available to you and have it all explained to you by an expert in their subject matter. Before you even know which type of turf you want, it’s essential to know that it’s come from a good nursery and that it is fresh so you can buy with confidence.

Once you start getting into the finer detail of which types of turf will be the best, you can explore all of your options with greater confidence knowing that you have already found a good supplier for your turf. Here are some of the most common considerations and types of turf that you might be able to choose from:

• Trident turf. This is a very good standard option for general gardens and places which get average footfall. It is easy to look after with the right lawn care and will be a good all rounder in the world of turf, covering many bases.
• Wilf flower turf. This type of turf will grow like a real wild flower meadow, so you can enjoy wild flowers in your own garden. It is very pretty and unique – it might be used in certain parts of the garden, for example, so that it can be a feature rather than turf that is used everywhere.
• Shade tolerant turf. For gardens and outdoor area that do not get very much sun a shade tolerant turf is a good option. These will usually have grass cultivars and will be medium texture, and it will suit shaded environments perfectly without needing a whole lot of maintenance.

There is also the option of artificial turf if you come to the conclusion that looking after real turf is not for you. This will be very low maintenance and will also look green and beautiful all year round in your garden, which can be hard to achieve with real turf.
