As experts in everything turf, Mitchell Turf often gets many questions about buying quality turf, today we’ll answer these questions so everyone can make a more informed purchase.

At first, it can be daunting buying turf for a project if you’ve never ordered any before. This is because often many people don’t know if the turf they are ordering is of a high enough quality or they are unsure of how much turf they should actually order.

These are just some of the concerns that commonly arise when buying turf online; however, the team at Mitchell Turf want to put your mind at ease. Below we’ll go through 3 common questions about buying quality turf.

Does the Quality of the Turf Matter?

Absolutely the quality of the turf you buy matters. Bad quality turf will not only look less vibrant and healthy, it is also much more likely to degrade faster. By buying high-quality turf from a well-established supplier, you’ll ensure that your project looks terrific, whether it’s anything from a small garden to a large scale landscaping effort.

Avoid turf suppliers who haven’t been established for very long, or suppliers who do not share details of how they develop their turf; they’re likely not offering anything of long-term value.

How Much Turf Should I Order?

This common question doesn’t always have an easy answer; however there are rules of thumb to follow to ensure you have enough quality turf for your project. Start out by physically measuring the area you plan on laying turf down on; if you have multiple areas in mind, measure those separately. After that, order slightly more turf than you think you’ll need for your measurements, this ensures that you have a little extra laying around just in case.

Try to be as accurate as possible; you’ll be glad you did when it comes to actually laying the turf down!

How Should I Store Rolled-up Turf?

Storing turf for later use shouldn’t have to be a hassle, but by knowing what to do and what to avoid, you can ensure your turf stays in quality shape for as long as possible. Firstly, avoid leaving your rolled-up turf in warm and sunny weather; it will rot faster in these conditions.

Secondly, avoid getting the rolled-up turf wet as this will also accelerate the rotting process. By storing your turf in such a way that follows the above two rules, your rolled-up turf will last that much longer. Do try to lay it as soon as possible however as this will ensure it looks as best as it possibly can.
