Whether you want to transform your garden into something you are genuinely proud of, or you are a landscaper working on a high-end project, Show Turf delivers a finish that stands out from the moment it is laid.
George Davies' Show Turf is our premium domestic lawn turf, grown for homeowners who want the depth of colour and fine texture you see in show gardens and golf courses, without needing a greenkeeper to maintain it.
Show Turf is made up of a carefully selected blend of 60% creeping perennial ryegrass and 40% slender creeping red fescue. This combination gives it a fine, tight texture and the deep colour that makes it look so impressive once laid.
Keeping your lawn looking its best has never been easier with Show Turf. Compared to standard lawn turf, it requires less mowing, so you spend more time enjoying the garden and less time maintaining it. Cut it at 10mm or above at home, or take it lower with a cylinder mower for an even crisper finish.
Grown on free-draining sandy loam soil, Show Turf arrives weed-free and disease-free, producing a dense, uniform sward that establishes quickly and recovers fast from wear and foot traffic.
We always strive to offer our customers the very best quality and value for money, and we have priced our Show Turf to reflect that. You can purchase our Show Turf on a roll that covers 1 m², allowing you to select the amount you need for your project. Here's how our pricing breaks down:
| Amount (m²) | Price (+ VAT) |
| 1 – 20 | £12.99 |
| 21 – 40 | £9.99 |
| 41+ | £8.99 |

It’s recommended that you lay your Show Turf on the same day it’s delivered, or within 24 hours at the latest. This is because you’ll want to maintain the freshness, root health, and vibrant green appearance.
If you can’t lay it straight away, we recommend storing the turf in a shaded, cool spot, unrolling a few strips to release heat, and watering it lightly to prevent it from drying out.
We have plenty of guidance on our website about laying turf yourself:

Head to our blog post to learn more about best practices for turf laying, too.
We recommend waiting up to 3 weeks before enjoying your new turf.
We understand that you might need to walk on it to reach certain areas of your outdoor space, or even to water it, which is why we suggest walking on it as little as possible, avoiding the same path, and wearing smooth-soled shoes.
You can find out more about walking on your turf on our blog or over on our YouTube channel!

If you’re planning to re-turf your garden, it’s important to accurately measure the area to ensure you purchase the right amount of turf. George Davies will guide you through the process of measuring your garden for turf. Since gardens come in various shapes and sizes, there is no fixed formula for measuring.
However, George will show you easy and effective methods to measure different types of lawns. With George’s guidance, measuring your garden for turf will be a straightforward task.
Tools required:
Follow these 4 steps to ensure a smooth and accurate installation of your Show Turf:
Ensure the ground is fully prepared before laying turf: remove existing turf, weeds, and debris; add a layer of high-quality topsoil; ensure adequate drainage; and level the area.
Start in the top corner of the area and unroll the turf. Ensure you stagger the rolls like a brick wall, butting the edges so they knit together tightly. Use a knife to carefully cut away any excess around objects, trees, or on curves.
Use wooden boards on top of the freshly rolled turf to walk across. This will gently increase contact between turf and soil, and protect fresh turf from foot indentations.
Water thoroughly and stay off the turf for at least 3 weeks to allow the roots to anchor in.
Thanks to Show Turf’s fine texture and rich colour, it is the perfect choice for any setting where appearance matters most, including:
