When it comes to choosing turf or grass seed you need to ensure that you pick the right sort for your garden. Not all gardens are the same and therefore the type of grass that you plant needs to be specific to the conditions found in your garden. Some grass is better in bright sunlight and requires little water. Other grass is more suitable for shady areas and those with little sunlight. It is important to chose correctly as this can have a huge impact on whether the grass grows successfully or not.

You may even have to plant different sorts of grass seed in different areas to combat this issue if parts of your garden are exposed to the sun for long period of time and others are not.

A good turfing company will be able to advise you on what sort of grass would be most suitable. You also need to consider how hard wearing it needs to be. If you have children that are often running around on the grass or using paddling pools etc then it will need to be able to withstand this.

When planting any new grass seed be sure to protect it from the birds and also to water it often.
