Different Types of Lawn Grass
There four common types of lawn grass suitable for growing in the UK:
- Common Brown-Top Bent.
- Dwarf Ryegrass.
- Annual Meadow Grass.
- Slender Creeping Red Fescue.
Most Durable Type of Lawn Grass
Ryegrass is the most common type of lawn grass in the UK due to its ability to withstand wear and tear, and survive in colder, wetter climates. Ryegrass is also cheaper to produce, as around 60% of its seed germinates, which leaves us less worried about using too much.
Grass For Shady Lawns
A ryegrass/fescue mix is the most reliable choice if your garden has shady bits. Coarse ryegrass performs better if you let it grow up to 4cm.
Good Quality Quick Lawn Turf Solution
There are seven major factors to consider when choosing ready to lay lawn turf:
- Freshness - This is the number one requirement. Dried out, old turf usually can't be rescued. You can usually tell how fresh the turf is by smelling it. If you pick up a good mix of earthy compounds like ozone, geosmin, and plant oils then you're good to go!
- Weight - Good quality grass turf should be from 15kg-20kg. A pallet of 50m2 can weigh from 700kg- 1,000kg (1 tonne).
- Roll Strength - When the rolls are strong and easy to handle they just roll into place and they look amazing straight away. Easy ripped or crumbling rolls take twice as long to lay and it will not look neat until rooted in.
- Colour
- Brown/yellow or green/yellow is a no-no. New turf needs to glow with bright green health and freshness.

Did You Know?
Eco artificial grass is ideal for any outdoor space, offering a safe and low-maintenance alternative to natural grass. This product uses a new method of binding the pile fibres to the backing material, so there is no need for the application of traditional backing systems that contain toxic glues and adhesives.
Different Types of Artificial Lawn
There are three main types of artificial grass:
- Nylon artificial grass
- Nylon is better-protected against the elements compared to polypropylene grass. It is hardwearing and can withstand children and pets.
- Polyethylene artificial grass - A good option if you don't want to spend big. Polyethylene artificial turf has a natural look and a texture that's soft to the touch like real grass. Remember to brush or rake it occasionally.
- Polypropylene artificial grass - Although polypropylene grass will usually be your cheapest option, it's also the least durable. It's best to use this grass in small spots rather than large lawns.
Negatives of Artificial Grass
Greenway prides itself on being a sustainable, eco-friendly company and like to inform all customers of all the facts before choosing artificial grass.
- Artificial grass will not last for the same time as natural grass.
- Artificial grass can get hot in extreme heat and some give off toxic gasses from the backing adhesives.
- Artificial turf severely reduces the biodiversity of a garden as it is made of plastic. Natural life cannot live on it or under it.
- When artificial turf has lost its lustre it enviably ends up in landfill and is not recycled.

Artificial Grass & Real Lawn Cost Considerations
For many homeowners, the primary consideration when deciding on the proper artificial lawn or real grass lawn turf is the overall price of investment. This outlay covers the material and the labour involved in completing the job. Some materials are easier and quicker to install than others and other solutions offer better deals from the manufacturer.
As a general rule, there are pros and cons for each lawn solution. Remember real grass is always a better choice and cutting costs isn't always the right choice. Choose a solution for your needs rather than your budget.
Decision Making Criteria
When trying to make a decision about your artificial lawn or real grass turf installation make sure to factor-in FOUR main criteria before choosing the company to install your chosen solution:
- Experience - Choose a team of skilled labourers and installers.
- Communication & Service - Ensure they are able to understand your needs.
- Holistic Approach - Make sure they take your whole property into consideration.
- Satisfaction Guarantee - Secure at least a five year warranty on the work and materials .
