Our method
How we choose
We take a soil sample and record sun, shade, water source, drainage and how the lawn will be used. Our software matches these to a seed and mulch mix. On most sites the answer is a blend rather than a single grass, so the lawn copes with both the sunny and the shaded corners.
Avoid these
Common mistakes
- A fine show grass on a lawn children play on.
- A full-sun grass under trees.
- A thirsty grass where water is scarce or salty.
- Turf of one variety laid over soil it was never grown in.
