Turf Tips: Quick Turf Buying Guide
This weeks turf tip is a quick turf buying guide. This guide touches on a couple of important factors you should consider when it comes time to buy turf.
Turf selection
The first step to buying turf is understanding what turf grass variety you need. Many people start at turf prices, overlooking the fact that replacing the wrong lawn will cost more than buying the right lawn in the first place.
We talk about “Fit for Purpose” turf, getting the turf perfect for your situation. The first factor and the most important factor in modern yards is shade. Houses have gotten bigger and yards have gotten smaller, creating more shade for lawns. With some turf varieties needing at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, you need to be sure to select a turf variety that can survive let alone thrive in your yard.
Other important factors to consider include water usage, maintenance required, wear tolerance, fertilizing required and weed resistance. To compare these turf characteristics you can use our turf guide.
Turf Prices
Once you decide what turf characteristics are important the next step in the turf buying guide is to work out your budget.
Turf prices will vary depending on the characteristics of the grass variety. More expensive varieties will require less ongoing costs and will be easier to maintain as well as grow in more places. With different varieties at different price points Jimboomba Turf has several options to help you find a great grass within your budget.
With cheap turf you will often get what you pay for. If turf price is your only deciding factor you may end up with a lawn you need to replace as the variety won’t grow in your yard. By combining your preferred characteristics and our turf prices you can find the right “fit for purpose” turf that fits your budget and your needs.
