Winter weather brings lots of positives and challenges to your garden and lawn. Can you lay turf in winter? Is frost bad for turf? And what to do about a waterlogged lawn? These are just one of the queries we’re asked throughout winter. So, we’re answering your turf queries to help homeowners and landscapers get the most from their lawns this winter.

Does your turf look stressed as winter approaches? Are you looking to repair your lawn before winter sets in and prepare it for spring? This guide can help! Cold weather doesn’t always mean zero grass growth. However, there are factors to consider that this guide will talk you through. If you want tips on helping your grass grow in winter, read on.

When you picture laying turf, you probably imagine a clear blue sky and gorgeous sunshine – not a chilly December day. There’s a perception that spring or summer is the best time to lay turf. However, autumn is considered a better time. And winter? Well, it‘s just as good a time as any! 

As Christmas draws closer and our to-do lists become longer than Santa’s, buying new turf  for your garden or landscaping project might not seem like a priority. However, the winter season is actually a prime time for buying, ordering and relaying turf. This article explains the benefits of why you should buy turf in the winter and how you can invest now, for a fantastic looking spring garden next year.

Here at George Davies Turf, we’re often asked when the best time of year to lay turf is. Truth is that turf can be laid at any point in the year, even in Winter. However, if you’re looking to lay turf in the summer (as we find ourselves in now), then extra care will most certainly need to be given. 

Gardening can play an essential role in improving mental and physical health, especially during the wintertime when it’s all too easy to remain cooped up inside.

It now seems rather common for people to invest in a new lawn for Christmas, and we’re again widely expecting turf sales to ramp up as we approach Christmas Day.

Taking care of artificial grass is a different ball game, so to speak, and therefore you need to be armed with the right information to make sure you’re maintaining yours correctly, especially during months with harsher weather.

Apart from starting to brave the shops to get through your dreaded Christmas list, you may also be wondering what you need to do for your lawn as we move through this colder time of year.
