Turf tips from Garry

“TifTuf is my favourite turf. Its fine texture, drought resistance, soft touch, and hardiness make it an unbeatable choice.”

“TifTuf can handle neglect better than most varieties — even with little maintenance, it bounces back and thrives.”

  • TifTuf’s resilience makes it ideal for busy families.
  • Its softness underfoot makes it enjoyable for kids and pets.
  • Regular mowing enhances its fine texture and visual appeal.
