The Shelf-Life of a Grass Roll
Turf is a living, breathing organism. The moment it is sliced out of the ground at the turf farm, a countdown begins. The roots are severed, and the grass begins to stress. How that roll is treated between the field and your garden makes all the difference.
The Garden Center Trap
When you buy cheap rolls from a large DIY store or garden center, that turf was likely harvested several days ago. It was loaded onto a hot lorry, delivered to a concrete yard, and left sitting on a pallet baking in the sun. The rolls in the middle of the pallet begin to 'cook' and generate heat, turning the grass yellow and killing the fragile roots before you even load it into your car.
The Farm-Fresh Guarantee
We do not use retail turf. We order directly from specialist local farms in the North East. The turf is morning-cut. It is harvested from the field at 6 AM, loaded directly onto our trucks, and rolled out in your garden by lunchtime on the exact same day. This guarantees maximum hydration, vibrant green color, and rapid root establishment.
