Turf selection
The first step to buying turf is understanding what turf variety you need. Many people start at turf prices, overlooking the fact that replacing the old lawn could cost more than buying the right new lawn in the first place. When it comes to purchasing a new lawn the correct “Fit for Purpose” is perfect for any situation.
The first factor and the most important factor in modern yards is shade. Houses have gotten bigger and yards have gotten smaller, creating more shade for lawns. With some turf varieties such as Nullarbor Green Couch, it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. You need to be sure to select a turf variety that can survive let alone thrive in your yard. Other options such as DNA Certified Sir Walter Buffalo, and Sir Grange Zoysia are more a lot more shade tolerate needing minimum 2-3 hours direct sunlight.
Other important factors to consider include water usage, maintenance required, wear tolerance, fertilizing required and weed resistance. To compare these turf characteristics you can use our turf guide.
Turf Prices
Once you decide what turf characteristics are important the next step in the turf buying guide is to work out your budget. Turf prices will vary depending on the characteristics of the grass variety. More expensive varieties will require less ongoing costs and will be easier to maintain as well as grow in more places. With different varieties at different price points Jimboomba Turf Group has several options to help you find a great grass within your budget.
With cheap turf you will often get what you pay for. If turf price is your only deciding factor you may end up with a lawn you need to replace as the variety won’t grow in your yard. By combining your preferred characteristics and our turf prices you can find the right fit of turf type that fits your budget and your needs.
