Roll turf — a beautiful lawn ready to be laid immediately.
Roll turf is especially popular among people with large gardens. Unlike traditional seeded lawns that require several weeks to grow, roll turf is instantly ready and walkable. It’s a natural lawn that takes root in your soil, resulting in a lush, well-kept appearance.
For the best results, it’s recommended to hire a professional for installation.
