There are a number of reasons why people prefer to buy fresh turf not artificial turf. Let L.C. Turf advise you why we prefer harvesting, supplying and selling real fresh turf to replace your lawn grass.
Maintenance and Durability of Artificial Turf vs Real Turf
Fresh turf is at ease when overlaid in a garden or lawn. Fresh turf supplies will work well under natural circumstances and not be at risk of a lifespan limitation. Artificial turf will only last a maximum of 15 years and will be in need of replacement.
Fresh turf and artificial turf both need regular care and maintenance. Fresh turf requires regular mowing, watering, fertilising and weed control while artificial turf requires to be brushed, groomed and refilled so that the blades can remain upstanding.
Aesthetics
On the ground of aesthetics, people are likely at first instance, to like artificial lawns as they look appealing and noticeably green. Fresh turf however can be naturally green and appealing if well nourished, mowed and watered as it should be, you can’t beat the natural, real look that nature provides.
The sheen on fake grass is from the refined designs that manufacturers have come up with since people have showed interest in overlaying their lawn with these synthetics. However a well cut fresh turf will keep its natural appeal with the right attention and the team at L.C. Turf can help you maintain and keep a beautiful garden lawn.
Our home grown quality turf supplies grown from natural lawn seed can be transported and installed at any location, and with love and care the turf will retain its aesthetic appeal. When fertilised, it will retain sparkle and radiance with the right watering and mowing schedule. Proper attention will ensure the attractiveness of fresh turf.
The Cost of Procurement and Installation of New Grass
Buying artificial turf can be costly per square metre for the supply, installation and base preparation while our Fresh turf offers much more value for money and is a cheaper, natural solution for supply and installation.
Safety
Fresh turf is obviously much safer. Certain types of artificial turf will ignite in any instance of fire and cannot be protective. For kids, artificial lawns are not the best during summer months, as it heats up significantly and is obviously not as soft to play on.
Fresh turf cools the environment and can aid in preventing homes cracking when watered. The soil absorbs the run-off from rain water as the grass filters the petering rain. People who buy fresh quality turf help aid the course of nature and self-preservation.
The Feel and Environmental Impact
Fresh turf and artificial grass do have a different feel when people lie, play or sit on them. Fresh turf plays host to organisms that provide a balance to the human ecosystem, but artificial grass is uninhabitable for organisms.
Artificial grass has its origins in plastics, which contribute to emission of greenhouse gases and depletion of the ozone layer. Fresh turf and lawn seed on the other hand is a natural means of controlling erosion as it’s presence helps to firm up the soil, making it compact.
Fresh new grass aids the production of and is an all round much more environmentally friendly and natural solution.
