Are You Worried You Might Pick The Wrong Turf Grass For Your Lawn?
Worry No More! There are Lawn Care companies that offer a Lawn Consultation Service to homeowners, landscapers, gardeners and business owners wanting advice on what is the correct Turf Grass for their Lawn Area.
So why should you get advice at all? Good question!
What you really want is Independent Advice! Problem here is that some turf suppliers and turf farms grow different types of say buffalo (St Augustine) and couch (Bermuda) turf grasses. The buffalo turf grasses, for example, Palmetto buffalo or Sapphire buffalo, are grown under licence from the companies that own the Plant Breeders Rights (aka the patent).
Now, it is these licences that are valuable to the turf growers! Any turf grower would rather sell you a pallet load of Palmetto buffalo because the profit margin of that sale is greater than that on a sale of say Kikuyu Turf Grass (where there is no PBR or patent on the product, and where just about any turf farm grows the product).
So, in some cases, it is the almighty Dollar that drives the advice given by Turf Growers to the unsuspecting homeowner and landscaper. To avoid this scenario, what you can do is get a Lawn Care company in to give you the Right (and Independent) advice on What Is The Right Turf Grass for Your Lawn. Just for a small fee you will save yourself hundreds (and maybe even thousands) of dollars by making the Right Choice or Selection of lawn! Not to mention, you will be getting the right turf for the existing site conditions such as a lot of shade, sunny aspect or whatever!
