Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges to creating a lush and thriving garden is shade, Most types of turf struggle in shadier areas. The conditions interfere with the healthy growth of the garden. Grass requires light, air, water, and nutrients just like any other plant. Fences, buildings, and trees that shade part of your garden can subsequently percent the grasses from getting their essentials, impacting your garden above and below ground. Also, shade can make soil retain an excessive amount of moisture and compound drainage problems that exist.
Grasses that are being grown in shade stretch to reach the sunlight. As a result, this causes it to grow thin and weak. Roots on shaded grass grow shallow which causes the growth to slow. The grass will grow weaker, its attractive colour will fade and as a result of its poor health, will become more susceptible to other issues including insect pests and lawn disease. Not only this, but poor turf health will cause your lawn to appear dismal and unattractive. It is best to avoid this possibility, by instead using top grade shade tolerant turf for your garden.

Our Process
Continually, we reinvest into the highest quality equipment that allow us to provide a flawless finish for your garden. Firstly, we use a turf cutter to remove the old lawns and weeds. Then, once the area has been cleared, we begin rotavating the soil. Next, we rake the soil which allows us to remove any large stones or debris. We will then proceed to firm the ground using weight, which will remove any air pockets in the ground. This step is imperative, as it prevents the lawn from sinking. Again, we will rake the area to be laid again and ensure that it is perfectly level. The turf is then laid in a staggered formation. We will clear up the site, and leave you with an information aftercare booklet so that you can keep your lawn looking stunning for many more years. Shade tolerant turf is a very low maintenance turf requiring little care.
