Soil-less Turf and Wild Flower Turf

The soil-less lawn turf system relies on a non permeable membrane that prevents the grass roots growing into the soil. This results in a mass of strong roots that are waiting for some soil to grow into, which once the turf is laid, they do at great speed.

Soil-less Turf

The process involves laying a thin layer of compost over a non permeable membrane and mixing in a good quality grass or wildflower seed mix that can be tailored to suit the customer. The grass establishes quickly and after six weeks the turf is ready to lift. Because the roots can not grow into the soil, due to the non permeable membrane, they weave together to create a strong turf that is lifted and laid as if it were a piece of carpet. This 'carpet' is much stronger than soil based turf resulting in no wastage during laying. It is also much cleaner and lighter as there is no soil (in fact it is similar to washed turf in this respect).
