Turf shortages.....

Down in the southeast there appears to be a shortage ( at at least limited supplies ) of Turf available for Spring laying.

Reasons being stated for shortages relate to several combined weather events during the current growing period ( going back to last year ).

The answer ? Not sure, but short term ensure you’re able to get good suitable supplies before committing to any turfing jobs ....

  • It was a strange year last year. The Beast from the East, followed by lots of rain didn't get the year off well, but what did most damage was around 3 or 4 days of 30c+, which burnt the grass around here and it never recovered 100% - in spite of the 'experts' telling us there would be not problem!

  • Thanks, that's a good heads-up. Lots of customer's lawns looking poorly and full of moss following last year's stressful season...

  • My turf supplier has warned of shortage/reduced quality for this season due to last year’s weather.  I’m in Yorkshire.
