Benefits of Using a Lawn Farm as Your Turf Supplier

When you are planning on upgrading the landscape of your property, turf is likely on the list of upgrades. You can purchase your turf from different local suppliers, but there may be issues. These issues can range from incomplete sod pallets to damaged sod and turf. One way to avoid this is to use a lawn farm as your turf supplier. Here are some benefits to using this option and what you need to know about each benefit.

Consideration

When you buy turf from home improvement stores or from a nursery, you will likely choose based on what they have. This means choosing between a limited amount of turf with little consideration to the use of the turf. When you use a lawn farm, one of the first things they will ask you is how the turf will be used. For example, if it will primarily be used for outdoor living then a specific turf may be suggested over one that is used for a pool area. The lawn farm contractors will discuss the options they have and which will work best for the use you have in mind.

Local Varieties

A large benefit to using a local lawn farm is access to locally cultivated lawn options. This means that the turf you choose is accustomed to your environment and weather. This makes it easier to grow, maintain, and take root on your property. Options that are from nurseries or home improvement stores may not be from the local area. This means they may not  be suited for the weather conditions or for proper growth and rooting on your property.

Fertiliser Options

When you order turf or sod from home improvement stores, you are on your own for the growing supplies. One of the key supplies is the right fertiliser. If you do not have any knowledge of fertilisers that work best for your soil and the turf you choose, you may choose a generic option. Though this will work, a turf-specific fertiliser may work better. A lawn farm can offer you fertiliser options as well as servicing for the turf you purchase. 

If you feel that using a lawn farm may be ideal for your landscaping project, contact your local farm. They can suggest options, let you know about their services and tell you what you need to know about your order. They can also answer maintenance questions regarding the turf you choose.
