Premium Underturf

Turf underlay is the foundation or bed for your turf to grow on, you only get one chance to get this right as once your turf is down it’s too late. Turf underlay generally is a mix of the following;

Washed river sand, medium to course particles – some % of clay is present which helps to compact and form a base.

Some heavier soil is generally added which helps to hold moisture and mixed with the sand creates a free-flowing profile for water movement.

A composted material is then added – again generally this can be green waste, chicken or animal manure and some natural nutrients to help balance your PH levels.

Once this is all mixed together it will form the turf underlay you require – a firm base that allows water movement downwards and allows for water retention, so the turf roots system can develop and establish. The aim is to promote a healthy root system that will protect the turf from weather conditions such as droughts and winter frost.
