Why Do People Buy Lawn Seed Instead of Turf
September 9, 2010
Lawn seed producers supply many different kinds of product to enable gardeners, commercial or domestic, to create a lawn that’s the most suitable for their needs. The choosing of lawn seed should take into account the many advantages that growing a lawn this way can bring.
Lawn seed is less expensive than turf and this is an important fact to remember when growing a lawn over a large area.
The type of use that the lawn will be getting will help decide which lawn seed is purchased. Lawns are used for many reasons, including a wide range of ‘grass sports’ such as tennis and cricket. Whilst it’s unlikely that in a domestic situation someone is going to want a full-size lawn tennis court in their back garden, it does help to consider if the lawn seed will be used heavily.
There are essentially two broad types of lawn seed. One type of lawn seed is the hardy variety, developed to be tough and capable of resisting the rough play of children whilst standing up to dramatic changes in weather. The other type of lawn seed is for ornamental purposes with the intended results designed specifically for gardeners focussing purely on its visual appeal. Without doubt, the most common sort of lawn seed chosen by families will be a variety from the first group.
Ornamental lawn seed is very popular with design gardeners and professionals creating lawns for corporate groups who may want to make a quality first impression on clients visiting their buildings.
It’s also realistic to come across lawn seed that can be used for more shady or wetter conditions than the normal.
As well as being less expensive than turf, it also provides an excellent range of choices for the domestic or professional gardener. Giving the lawn seed the best possible chance of growing strongly is recommended and this can be achieved by good ground preparation before sowing takes place.
Before the lawn grows, a small amount of patience is required before it can be fully enjoyed.
