Big Rolls are fast becoming the prefered method of laying large, regular shaped areas quickly with little labour. There is the added bonus of fewer joints to grow over, greater resistance to shrinkage and an area which can be used or maintained sooner after laying. Turf Centre delivers its Big Rolls by forklift and provides a free to use manual laying trolley which is delivered along with the turf (any damage must be paid for by the customer), once the job is complete the customer just has to return the trolley to our depot along with the tubes the turf is harvested on...Its that simple. There is a small premium for Big Rolls due to the increased time and labour required during harvesting and longer unloading on site, this is more than offset in the time and labour saving during installation.Following requests we now offer a Big Roll laying frame for use on 3 point linkage of trade customers mini tractors (turf tyres recommended) to further speed up installation. It can be used to lay the rolls or to supply the manual laying trolley during inclement weather. Contact office for details.

The building has already speeded up deliveries on frosty mornings by allowing loaded turf delivery vehicles to be parked inside overnight instead of having to store the turf inside and then load up in the mornings. Tomorrow the Tarmac Contractors arrive to begin final surfacing around the new building (putting the icing on the cake) and the final stage of the depot will be complete. This building, along with our newly constucted state of the art, 50'x16' washdown bay, (featuring easy clean upvc walling, two sludge settlemant tanks, a three stage oil interceptor and two washdown points), further reinforcing our position as 'The County's Leading Grower' and showing our commitment to the future of the company, and the environment, through continuous innovation and investment.11/08/2011 Turf Centre's New Soil Store is Complete.As we speak the last of the concrete has been pumped and it wont be long until the powerfloaters are started up and doing their stuff!

The local group provide information and counselling to new parents and help create invaluable support networks by introducing local parents at similar stages of pregnancy and teaching them what to expect and how to be prepared. I know of many friends who have used this service (myself included) and they all still keep in regular contact with the other couples they were introduced to and their children are now friends also. I know from personnal experience that the NCT's teachings are invaluable and i cannot recommend them highly enough. This was the first year that my son, Harry (Three and a half) has taken part in the charity event (after only learning to ride a bike the previous Sunday!) and despite being wet and cold managed a credible 3 laps of the Bohunt School circuit. Well done to him and all the other juniors who were out braving the British weather to do their bit for charity, fingers crossed all the riders will beat last years fantastic total of £65,000!31/05/2011 Turf Centre Break Ground On New Topsoil Store At Ham Barn Depot.The ball is rolling on the new building already.

This could not have come at a better time having just had a record month for soil deliveries...ever! Word seems to be getting around about Turf Centres range of high quality soil products that prove you dont need to pay the earth for excellent soils, designed to be kind to your pocket AND your garden...not just one or the other!8/02/2011 Liss Conservation Rangers Are At It Again!Those gluttons for punishment and hard work in Liss have removed the MASSIVE concrete buffer from the end of the entrance to the Riverside walk that was designed to stop runaway trains. Although proving to be a bigger task than first anticipated,the results to the overall appearance of the area are dramatic and once again we were eager to play our (small) part in the scheme by providing turf to cover the site of the buffer and some extra to bring areas of heavy use back up to standard. The Rangers have really lifted the overall impression of the centre of the village and created a wonderful place for locals to walk the river or just sit and watch the world go by (or not if the crossing gates are down again!) . We are grateful to have been given the opportunity help them realise their vision...I wonder what they will come up with next?11/06/2010 Support For Local Improvement Projects Continues...Following on from the sucess with the Liss Conservation Rangers we were approached to assist in any way possible with the creation of a new allotment next to the railway crossing at the southern end of Liss by the Parish Council. The area was being cleared to create the new allotments due to the massive increase in demand from local residents wanting to grow their own organic produce and become more self sufficient. We were only too pleased to donate enough turf to create the walkways and communal areas for the project which will soon be giving back to the local community in its own way...weather permitting of course! 3/04/2010 Turf Centre And Liss Conservation Rangers Join Forces.Turf Centre were only to pleased to be in a position to donate turf to the Liss Conservation Rangers who have done a fantastic job of renovating the entrance to the Liss Riverside Railway Walk (which used to be part of the Longmoor Military Railway and has recieved Local Nature Reserve Status). The entrance to the walk was previously overgrown and not particularly inviting until the volunteers cleared and leveled the area, installed planters and seating, and resurfaced the footpath along with new edgings. Our donation of turf was the finishing touch to a massive amount of work by the volunteers, who have created a lovely space right in the centre of the village for all to enjoy. Fortunately we also were able to assist in saving their efforts from being wasted, after a particularly hot and dry weekend before the turf had fully established. Two Turf Centre staff had the idea to modify one of our water bowsers to run a fire hose and were then dispatched to assisit in regularly watering the area until it had rooted fully. Crisis averted... and a pat on the back for Shaun and Rory who did a great job!11/01/2010 Turf Centre Now Offer Trade Prices On Its Screened Topsoil Range.Happy New Year to all our trade customers! From now on any customers with proof of trade (business card, letter head etc) will be entitled to the same healthy discounts we offer on our Turf Range for all our collected or delivered 10mm Screened Topsoil Products. We are sure that this will be a ray of sunshine to all landscapers and jobbing builders struggling to keep working through the hardest winter we have had in years (in all respects!). 2/12/2009 Turf Centre Purchase Latest Tracked 3 Way Split Screener.After managing to massively increase our topsoil sales dispite the economic down turn, we have invested in state of the art topsoil processing equipment allowing us to increase our buffer of dry stored products in order to keep up with the ever growing demand. As Turf Centre strives to process soil only during the dry months of the year to ensure the highest quality, free flowing products our customers have come to expect; we will now be able to increase production during the short summers we have been experiencing in recent years. We can now produce additional grades to satisfy even the most budget conscious customer (producing a grade from the same high quality soils but not screened quite as finely, giving a cost comparable alternative to the poor quality and often unworkable reclaimed soils from unknown sources that more and more people are becoming averse to using). 15/11/2009 Turf Centre Take Delivery Of Its Latest Multi-Purpose Delivery Vehicle.Following on from the success of our last 18 ton tipper/crane purchase which enabled us to deliver loose, bagged and palletised products with one vehicle, in one delivery, we have now invested in a smaller 10 ton version. Not only does this mean that customers receive all their Turf Centre products together,on time, but it also reduces lorry movements on the roads and helps minimise our carbon footprint. With dimensions the same as a 7.5 ton lorry, it can access resricted deliveries but with the ability to unload itself, removing the manual handling that is usually associated with these smaller vehicles. This maintains the quality of the turf being delivered to our customers, allowing it to go from growing on our turf farms, to where the customer requires, untouched by hand. Due to high demand Turf Centre can once again offer smaller deliveries of our quality topsoil range, tipped loose, from 3 cubic metres upwards providing substantial savings to customers with the space to take this type of delivery. This now completes our full range of delivery vehicles ranging from 3.5t dropside or tipper, through 10t and 18t tipper/cranes to 26t flatbed with a truck mounted forklift. If you have a specific delivery requirement, we can safely say that no other turf company will be better equipped to meet it!21/5/2009 Turf Centre Continues Its Support Of Woodcock Green, Beacon Hill. Over the past three years we have been happy to be involved with Michael Dover, the former Mayor of Haslemere and the reclaimation and regeneration of Woodcock Green. This is now an attractive woodland space for the use of the villagers, following the work of a dedicated bunch of locals who have transformed the area from an overgrown, wooded plot into a well tended, grassy glade. After advising on the initial project and donating our J2 shade tolerant seed and Pre-Turf fertiliser the tireless workers have created a beautiful public space, the success of which has lead to a second phase which doubles the size of the existing project. As a reward for all the hard work we are happy to again donate the seed and fertiliser for this additional phase.6/5/2009 Turf Centre"s Ben Southall Wins "Best Job in the World" (After This One Of Course!).

JB Advanced Info This turf is specifically for low cost landscaping. Turf Centre JB (Budget) is turf taken from our J range, from parts of the field that do not meet the high level of quality required for the turf to be sold as J1 or J2. Since the turf is still purpose grown from seed, its lower cost makes it a particularly attractive alternative to bulk purchasers or users on a very limited budget! In our continuous efforts to improve our product we reserve the right to alter specifications without prior notice. J2 Advanced Info 25% Dwarf Perennial Ryegrass 35% Slender Creeping Red Fescue 20% Chewings Fescue 20% Smooth Stalked M. G. J2 contains a variety of dwarf perennial ryegrass selected for exhibiting fast establishment and good density. It is slow growing, hardwearing, tolerant to close mowing and displays fine, dark green leaves.The significant percentage of slender red creeping fescue contributes to the drought, shade and salt tolerance of the turf, whilst its fine, dark green leaves and fineness of leaf add to the overall visual impact. Once established, smooth stalked mg is nearly as resistant to wear and tear as dwarf perennial ryegrass and has the benefit of being cold tolerant. The very fine-leaved chewings fescue included further increases sward density and the heat, drought and shade tolerance of J2 turf. J2 is a good choice for customers who want a turf that will tolerate wear and shade, but do not wish to compromise on the visual aesthetics of their lawn. All turfgrass cultivars used are independently tested and rated by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) In our continuous efforts to improve our product we reserve the right to alter specifications without prior notice.

Alternatively, you are welcome to collect any amount from our depot. We employ a number of techniques to extend turf shelf life and have produced literature, designed specifically for businesses like yours, aimed at providing you with the information to continue our shelf life extension strategy and maximise your return by minimising wastage. Indeed, many of our existing customers have increased turf sales and virtually eliminated waste by taking our turf and our advice! Date: 14/3/09Turf centre wins award for souths leading growerThe recent extreme cold conditions have stopped harvesting on the online turf production unit. The soil beneath the turf has frozen into a solid block making harvesting impossible. The turf does not come to any harm but it is just a waiting game to allow the soil to thaw. The dense sward acts as an insulation which often prevents the soil beneath from freezing, but once it had frozen the turf keeps it cold and prevents the thaw. Andrew Mercer, Production director, commented: “ In the winter harvesting is often limited to the warmer times of the day, but it is unusual to be completely frozen. It is not predicted that any harvesting will take place this week. It allows time for essential maintenance and we can prepare for the busy spring ahead.Date: 14/3/09Turf centre wins award for souths leading growerThe recent extreme cold conditions have stopped harvesting on the online turf production unit.

We are sure that all our customers who know Ben will want to join us wishing him all the best for his latest global adventure. Ben has beaten off stiff competition from 35,000 applicants to secure the job as caretaker to Hamilton Island on The Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia (see islandreefjob.com). He has worked with us on and off (between organising charity events,running marathons, circumnavigating Africa including running five marathons and climbing five mountains for charity (see Afritrex.com)) over the last nine years. Ben has been a friend of the family for about 15 years and has worked for us in various positions from lorry driving during University holidays to Project and Marketing Manager before and after his African adventures. We are however fairly sure that this will be the last time he will be with us...its more likely we will see him on TV now! Anyway Congratulations and Thank You Sooty,we will post your updates and Newspaper articles on the office wall as usual, lucky we have a bit more wall space in the new offices! Watch this space... 1/4/2009 Turf Centre moves up to Sq.M rolls. From the 1st of April all Turf Centre rolls will be supplied at the larger Sq.M size. This will allow lower, more stable pallets for us to deliver and for Landscapers to collect from the depot. Also offering time, labour (and Lumbar) savings when laying as less turf have to be handled and laid. As an added bonus in the current economic climate we have deceided to freeze the prices for turf collected from the depot at the old Sq.Yard roll cost. This is not an April fools joke! If you come and collect your turf we give you 16% free. Now thats what you call value for money! 20/2/2009 Turf Centre finally find the time to move into their new offices,stores and yard. Regular customers will have seen the large scale development of our Ham Barn site going on over the previous year. We are pleased to announce that the purpose built offices,stores and collection facilities are now finished and up and running. This investment allows us to carry even larger stocks of our Landscape Range of Products including various grades of Turf, Screened Topsoil, Soil improver, Bark, Seed, Fertiliser and Topdress. This enables both Landscapers and members of the public to drop in whenever suits them and collect goods as required. This is the only dedicated Lawn facility that we know of where you can call in without having to pre-order (sometimes days in advance) and collect almost any amount of freshly harvested turf and other installation related products. Turf for yard sales is harvested and brought in for storage in a temperature controlled holding unit within hours of being cut, keeping it at optimum freeshness. Due to high turnover at the depot this is stocked twice daily. This Turf Centre Organic Based Pre-Turfing Fertiliser contains a special blend of elements key to turf nutrition which will help give your new lawn the essential nutrients it requires in the early stages to encourage healthy establishment. Nitrogen is an essential constituent of all proteins, so it is vital to any living plants. Phosphorus is associated with the transfer and storage of energy in the plant making it vital to the living processes within the cell. Potassium is essential for efficient water relationships in the plant, both in controlling water content of cells and movement of water through the tissues and in transpiration. Turf Centre recommends the application of this product at the following rate: 1-2oz per square yard or 34 -68 grams per square metre with the higher rate of application suited to poorer soil types. Any Turf Centre customer requiring advice regarding this or any other fertiliser matter, may contact Zoë Fothergill at Turf Centre who is registered with the Fertiliser Advisers Certification & Training Scheme (FACTS) to sell and advise on fertilisers.

Turf Centre enjoys strong, lasting relationships with its customer base for the following reasons: • We grow ALL the turf we supply so we know everything there is to know about the product we give our customers and so in turn do they; • We grow our turf on free-draining sandy soils and have extensive irrigation to ensure year-round availability; • To date, we are the only grower in the county to offer locally grown TGA Certified Turf within our range; • We provide our customers with a fixed point of contact so should they need any advice, they know they can call us direct and access the knowledge of professional turf growers; • We listen to our customers, build long lasting relationships with them and work closely with them to identify their needs, enabling us to be proactive in working to meet their requirements; • In a day when people value their security, a clearly identifiable delivery vehicle and driver affords our customers the reassurance that the people they expect to arrive upon their doorstep are the same as those who actually do. This also guarantees you receive the product from the company you placed the order with ensuring you pay the best possible price with no distributor mark-up and, in the unlikely event of any query, you deal directly with the grower. • Our depot is open from early morning until the evening so whether customers require our advice or wish to organise a collection or delivery the opportunity to do so before leaving for work is there - a particularly useful service for landscapers and other early risers; • And finally but very importantly, because we grow, harvest and deliver our own turf, customers receive the product as it is best supplied - fresh!

Seed can be collected from the depot or delivered as part a Turf/Soil order.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Top dressingTop dressing an existing lawn is becoming a more common part of customers maintenance regime. It improves the drainage of a lawn by helping break down the thatch layer, preventing run off and allowing greater, more even penetration of water to the roots. This is even more beneficial to lawns on heavier, compacted/clay soils when undertaken in conjunction with aerating(with a fork or hollow tines). Once brushed in, the topdressing can fill the voids and still allow air and water to supply the roots and aid draining of excess water. It is also a good medium to seed into when overseeding/repairing your lawn. Turf Centre have two types of top dressing, both are produced utilising PAS100 certified Peat Free Compost screened to 5mm. The main benefit of using a compost top dressing is that it also conditions the plant by providing slow release nutrients, helping the lawn to stay green throughout the year, also strengthening it against disease and aiding retention of moisture in drier times.Organic Top dressingThis is a straight compost product which we recommended for sandy soils with good drainage .Sandmix Top dressingThis is the same 5mm screened compost mixed with washed sand in a 50/50 blend, we recomend using this product on heavier/clay soils.

Although proving to be a bigger task than first anticipated,the results to the overall appearance of the area are dramatic and once again we were eager to play our (small) part in the scheme by providing turf to cover the site of the buffer and some extra to bring areas of heavy use back up to standard. The Rangers have really lifted the overall impression of the centre of the village and created a wonderful place for locals to walk the river or just sit and watch the world go by (or not if the crossing gates are down again!) . We are grateful to have been given the opportunity help them realise their vision...I wonder what they will come up with next?11/06/2010 Support For Local Improvement Projects Continues...Following on from the sucess with the Liss Conservation Rangers we were approached to assist in any way possible with the creation of a new allotment next to the railway crossing at the southern end of Liss by the Parish Council. The area was being cleared to create the new allotments due to the massive increase in demand from local residents wanting to grow their own organic produce and become more self sufficient. We were only too pleased to donate enough turf to create the walkways and communal areas for the project which will soon be giving back to the local community in its own way...weather permitting of course! 3/04/2010 Turf Centre And Liss Conservation Rangers Join Forces.Turf Centre were only to pleased to be in a position to donate turf to the Liss Conservation Rangers who have done a fantastic job of renovating the entrance to the Liss Riverside Railway Walk (which used to be part of the Longmoor Military Railway and has recieved Local Nature Reserve Status). The entrance to the walk was previously overgrown and not particularly inviting until the volunteers cleared and leveled the area, installed planters and seating, and resurfaced the footpath along with new edgings. Our donation of turf was the finishing touch to a massive amount of work by the volunteers, who have created a lovely space right in the centre of the village for all to enjoy. Fortunately we also were able to assist in saving their efforts from being wasted, after a particularly hot and dry weekend before the turf had fully established. Two Turf Centre staff had the idea to modify one of our water bowsers to run a fire hose and were then dispatched to assisit in regularly watering the area until it had rooted fully. Crisis averted... and a pat on the back for Shaun and Rory who did a great job!11/01/2010 Turf Centre Now Offer Trade Prices On Its Screened Topsoil Range.Happy New Year to all our trade customers! From now on any customers with proof of trade (business card, letter head etc) will be entitled to the same healthy discounts we offer on our Turf Range for all our collected or delivered 10mm Screened Topsoil Products.

As Turf Centre strives to process soil only during the dry months of the year to ensure the highest quality, free flowing products our customers have come to expect; we will now be able to increase production during the short summers we have been experiencing in recent years. We can now produce additional grades to satisfy even the most budget conscious customer (producing a grade from the same high quality soils but not screened quite as finely, giving a cost comparable alternative to the poor quality and often unworkable reclaimed soils from unknown sources that more and more people are becoming averse to using). 15/11/2009 Turf Centre Take Delivery Of Its Latest Multi-Purpose Delivery Vehicle.Following on from the success of our last 18 ton tipper/crane purchase which enabled us to deliver loose, bagged and palletised products with one vehicle, in one delivery, we have now invested in a smaller 10 ton version. Not only does this mean that customers receive all their Turf Centre products together,on time, but it also reduces lorry movements on the roads and helps minimise our carbon footprint. With dimensions the same as a 7.5 ton lorry, it can access resricted deliveries but with the ability to unload itself, removing the manual handling that is usually associated with these smaller vehicles. This maintains the quality of the turf being delivered to our customers, allowing it to go from growing on our turf farms, to where the customer requires, untouched by hand. Due to high demand Turf Centre can once again offer smaller deliveries of our quality topsoil range, tipped loose, from 3 cubic metres upwards providing substantial savings to customers with the space to take this type of delivery. This now completes our full range of delivery vehicles ranging from 3.5t dropside or tipper, through 10t and 18t tipper/cranes to 26t flatbed with a truck mounted forklift. If you have a specific delivery requirement, we can safely say that no other turf company will be better equipped to meet it!21/5/2009 Turf Centre Continues Its Support Of Woodcock Green, Beacon Hill.

Anyway Congratulations and Thank You Sooty, we will post your updates and newspaper articles on the office wall as usual, it's lucky we have a bit more wall space in the new offices! 1/4/2009 Turf Centre moves up to Sq.M rolls. From the 1st of April all Turf Centre rolls will be supplied at the larger Sq.M size. This will allow lower, more stable pallets for us to deliver and for Landscapers collecting from the depot. Also offering time, labour (and Lumbar) savings when laying as less turf have to be handled and laid. As an added bonus in the current economic climate we have deceided to freeze the prices for turf collected from the depot at the old Sq.Yard roll cost. This is not an April fools joke! If you come and collect your turf we give you 16% free. Now thats what you call value for money! 20/2/2009 Turf Centre finally find the time to move into their new offices,stores and yard. Regular customers will have seen the large scale development of our Ham Barn site going on over the previous year. We are pleased to announce that the purpose built offices,stores and collection facilities are now finished and up and running. This investment allows us to carry even larger stocks of our Landscape Range of Products including various grades of Turf, Screened Topsoil, Soil improver, Bark, Seed, Fertiliser and Topdress. This enables both Landscapers and members of the public to drop in whenever suits them and collect goods as required. This is the only dedicated Lawn facility that we know of where you can call in without having to pre-order (sometimes days in advance) and collect almost any amount of freshly harvested turf and other installation related products. Turf for yard sales is harvested and brought in for storage in a temperature controlled holding unit within hours of being cut, keeping it at optimum freeshness. Due to high turnover at the depot this is stocked twice daily, so you can rest assured that any turf collected from Turf Centre will not have been hanging around for days baking in the sun as is so often the case at turf stockists.

Great Savings on Turf & Topsoil Available. Check here for our current offers...
All Collected Soil Products Reduced
A Great Time For A New Lawn Ended 01/09/2010
EARLY SPRING OFFER EXTENTION! Since reducing our collected bag prices as part of our early spring promotion, we have decided to carry on this great offer alongside our Turf Giveaway. This offers customers substantial savings on the cost of returfing their lawns compared with the same time last year, providing they collect from our depot.
JB Advanced Info This turf is specifically for low cost landscaping. Turf Centre JB (Budget) is turf taken from our J range, from parts of the field that do not meet the high level of quality required for the turf to be sold as J1 or J2. Since the turf is still purpose grown from seed, its lower cost makes it a particularly attractive alternative to bulk purchasers or users on a very limited budget! In our continuous efforts to improve our product we reserve the right to alter specifications without prior notice.
J2 Advanced Info 25% Dwarf Perennial Ryegrass 35% Slender Creeping Red Fescue 20% Chewings Fescue 20% Smooth Stalked M. G. J2 contains a variety of dwarf perennial ryegrass selected for exhibiting fast establishment and good density. It is slow growing, hardwearing, tolerant to close mowing and displays fine, dark green leaves.The significant percentage of slender red creeping fescue contributes to the drought, shade and salt tolerance of the turf, whilst its fine, dark green leaves and fineness of leaf add to the overall visual impact. Once established, smooth stalked mg is nearly as resistant to wear and tear as dwarf perennial ryegrass and has the benefit of being cold tolerant. The very fine-leaved chewings fescue included further increases sward density and the heat, drought and shade tolerance of J2 turf. J2 is a good choice for customers who want a turf that will tolerate wear and shade, but do not wish to compromise on the visual aesthetics of their lawn. All turfgrass cultivars used are independently tested and rated by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) In our continuous efforts to improve our product we reserve the right to alter specifications without prior notice.
J1 Advanced info 20% Dwarf Perennial Ryegrass 20% Smooth Stalked Meadow Grass 20% Slender Creeping Red Fescue 25% Strong Creeping Red Fescue 10% Chewings Fescue 5% Tenuis Bent J1 is low maintenance and offers good sward density and speed of establishment. It is recommended for family lawns, general landscaping and areas where low maintenance turf characteristics are of importance. All turfgrass cultivars used are independently tested and rated by the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) In our continuous efforts to improve our product we reserve the right to alter specifications without prior notice.

Date: 14/3/09Turf centre wins award for souths leading growerThe recent extreme cold conditions have stopped harvesting on the online turf production unit. The soil beneath the turf has frozen into a solid block making harvesting impossible. The turf does not come to any harm but it is just a waiting game to allow the soil to thaw. The dense sward acts as an insulation which often prevents the soil beneath from freezing, but once it had frozen the turf keeps it cold and prevents the thaw. Andrew Mercer, Production director, commented: “ In the winter harvesting is often limited to the warmer times of the day, but it is unusual to be completely frozen. It is not predicted that any harvesting will take place this week.

6/4/2009 Turf Centres Ben Southall wins 'Best Job in the World' (after this one of course!) We are sure that all our customers who know Ben will want to join us wishing him all the best for his latest global adventure. Ben has beaten off stiff competition from 35,000 applicants to secure the job as caretaker to Hamilton Island on The Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia (see islandreefjob.com). He has worked with us on and off (between organising charity events,running marathons, circumnavigating Africa including running five marathons and climbing five mountains for charity (see Afritrex.com)) over the last nine years.

This enables both Landscapers and members of the public to drop in whenever suits them and collect goods as required. This is the only dedicated Lawn facility that we know of where you can call in without having to pre-order (sometimes days in advance) and collect almost any amount of freshly harvested turf and other installation related products. Turf for yard sales is harvested and brought in for storage in a temperature controlled holding unit within hours of being cut, keeping it at optimum freeshness. Due to high turnover at the depot this is stocked twice daily.
This Turf Centre Organic Based Pre-Turfing Fertiliser contains a special blend of elements key to turf nutrition which will help give your new lawn the essential nutrients it requires in the early stages to encourage healthy establishment. Nitrogen is an essential constituent of all proteins, so it is vital to any living plants. Phosphorus is associated with the transfer and storage of energy in the plant making it vital to the living processes within the cell. Potassium is essential for efficient water relationships in the plant, both in controlling water content of cells and movement of water through the tissues and in transpiration. Turf Centre recommends the application of this product at the following rate: 1-2oz per square yard or 34 -68 grams per square metre with the higher rate of application suited to poorer soil types. Any Turf Centre customer requiring advice regarding this or any other fertiliser matter, may contact Zoë Fothergill at Turf Centre who is registered with the Fertiliser Advisers Certification & Training Scheme (FACTS) to sell and advise on fertilisers. In our continuous efforts to improve our product we reserve the right to alter specifications without prior notice.

Established in 1971, Turf Centre Ltd, formerly Horndean Turf Co. Ltd, is a second generation family business that has almost 40 years experience in the production and supply of quality cultivated turf. As a company, we invest heavily in ensuring we keep up to date with any development that may subsequently lead to an improvement in our product or service, and therefore be of benefit to our customers. The result of this investment is our use of the best seed available, and the most modern and effective production, harvesting and delivery techniques. We are innovators of On Demand, Temperature Controlled Collection, believing that fresh turf should be available when required, in any quantity without having to pre-order days before (or settling for a product that has been sitting around and is long past its best, as is so often the case). Due to our policy of continuous improvement, we believe our product and service will maintain our place as the County's Leading Grower, producing quality turf that we and our customers can be proud of. Turf Centre enjoys strong, lasting relationships with its customer base for the following reasons: • We grow ALL the turf we supply so we know everything there is to know about the product we give our customers and so in turn do they; • We grow our turf on free-draining sandy soils and have extensive irrigation to ensure year-round availability; • To date, we are the only grower in the county to offer locally grown TGA Certified Turf within our range; • We provide our customers with a fixed point of contact so should they need any advice, they know they can call us direct and access the knowledge of professional turf growers; • We listen to our customers, build long lasting relationships with them and work closely with them to identify their needs, enabling us to be proactive in working to meet their requirements; • In a day when people value their security, a clearly identifiable delivery vehicle and driver affords our customers the reassurance that the people they expect to arrive upon their doorstep are the same as those who actually do. This also guarantees you receive the product from the company you placed the order with ensuring you pay the best possible price with no distributor mark-up and, in the unlikely event of any query, you deal directly with the grower. • Our depot is open from early morning until the evening so whether customers require our advice or wish to organise a collection or delivery the opportunity to do so before leaving for work is there - a particularly useful service for landscapers and other early risers; • And finally but very importantly, because we grow, harvest and deliver our own turf, customers receive the product as it is best supplied - fresh! We are founder Members of the Turfgrass Growers Association (TGA), the only UK Association dedicated to the production of quality cultivated turfgrass, and have been Members of Turfgrass Producers International (TPI), the only international turfgrass growers Association, since 1979.
