There are many benefits to using garden turf and for many families a simple, hard-wearing grass lawn is just the thing on which the children can play, barbeques can be enjoyed and mum and dad can sit out on during the evenings to enjoy a bottle of wine after the kids have gone to bed. Though once you’ve been through the preparation and laying of garden turf, do you really want the kids running around all over it?
Well, garden turf needn’t be as fragile as you might at first expect. There are different kinds to choose from, and it would certainly make little sense to use a quality garden turf that would be suitable for a Masters Golf putting green in a garden where several boisterous children are likely to end up playing.
However, families needn’t spend more than is necessary on luxury garden turf, when there is plenty of good quality turf that’s hard-wearing, easy to lay, and good looking - all at the same time. Not only that, garden turf can bring many other benefits too, not least it’s green credentials - absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere and acting as what is known as a ‘carbon sink’.
Another major benefit of having a garden turf lawn is that in times of heavy rainfall, it can in fact help reduce flash flooding, the cause of which is often attributed to the lack of proper rainwater absorption, due to the rainwater being able to soak away more easily through the soil underneath. Media reporting of the frequency of town flooding would suggest that in so far as families are concerned, it makes sense to reduce the risk of flooding by replacing concrete or other hardcore driveways and gardens with a good quality garden turf.
Families that choose garden turf will also benefit from the prevention of soil erosion and the reduction of noise and glare from the sun, as well as the obvious quickness in laying the turf in the first place.
