Our Bermuda and Kikuyu turfs have been cultivated to stress several qualities, but their wear resistance comes down to two: a dense growth pattern and a deep root system.

The thickness of the turf mat gives it the strength needed to withstand heavy foot traffic and rough play; it takes a lot for these turfs to show damage. But if they do get ripped up, their dense growth pattern will stitch itself up in no time.

We cultivate our turfs on four self-run Victorian estates, giving them time to develop their strength. Once they’re ready, we harvest them in thick slabs using our unique QWELTS technique to keep their healthy roots intact.

Oh, and before we forget — the turfs we’ve recommended here aren’t just hard-wearing; they’re soft as clouds and perfect for laying back in for a bit of reading or cloud-watching.
