New Grass Is Best

Why New Grass Reigns Supreme?

As you start to prepare your clients’ gardens for the lovely summer garden party months – how is their grass looking? Have they asked that you ‘repair’ it or is it best to start new patches from scratch?

New grass is often the best solution for patchy lawns due to its numerous benefits. When considering the health and appearance of their lawn, opting for new grass can make a significant difference. Here are a few reasons why new grass is the ideal choice for patchy lawns:

Improved aesthetic 

One of the main reasons it is best for patchy lawns is the immediate positive visual impact it provides. Fresh, vibrant grass can instantly transform the look of your lawn, making it appear lush and well-maintained. Patchy areas can be unsightly and detract from the overall beauty of an outdoor space, but new turf can help create a uniform and attractive appearance.

Enhanced growth

New grass is typically more resilient and has better growth potential compared to older, worn-out grass. By introducing new grass to patchy areas, you can encourage healthy growth and establish a dense turf that can withstand foot traffic, pets and environmental stressors. This can help prevent future patchiness and promote a thriving lawn.

Improved weed control

Patchy areas in lawns are often susceptible to weed growth due to the lack of competition from grass. Introducing new grass can help fill in these bare spots and create a dense turf that inhibits weed growth. By crowding out weeds with healthy grass, you can naturally reduce the need for chemical weed control methods and maintain a more sustainable lawn environment.

Enhanced soil health

New turf can contribute to the overall health of your lawn’s soil. Grass roots help aerate the soil, improve water retention and prevent erosion. By establishing new lawn in patchy areas, you can promote soil stability and fertility, creating a more favourable environment for healthy grass growth.

Increased property value

A well-maintained lawn can significantly enhance the curb appeal and value of any property. By investing in new turf for patchy areas, you can boost the overall aesthetics of your clients’ outdoor space and create a more inviting environment for yourself, your family and visitors. A lush, green lawn is often seen as a desirable feature in residential properties and can increase the market value of your clients’ home.

Order your new turf

Opting for new turf to address patchy areas in your clients’ lawn can yield numerous benefits. By investing in new turf and proper lawn care practices, your clients can enjoy a vibrant, healthy lawn that enhances the beauty and value of their property, and your business can take pride in being a part of that.
