What is 'soil-less' lawn turf?

The soil-less lawn turf system relies on a non permeable membrane that prevents the grass roots growing into the soil. This results in a mass of strong roots that are waiting for some soil to grow into, which once the turf is laid, they do at great speed.

The process involves laying a thin layer of compost over a non permeable membrane and mixing in a good quality grass mix that can be tailored to suit the customer. The grass establishes quickly and after six weeks the turf is ready to lift. Because the roots can not grow into the soil, due to the non permeable membrane, they weave together to create a strong turf that is lifted and laid as if it were a piece of carpet. This 'carpet' is much stronger than soil based turf resulting in no wastage during laying. It is also much cleaner and lighter as there is no soil (in fact it is similar to washed turf in this respect).

Within the turf mix there can be a number of different 'geo-textile' reinforcing meshes depending on the final use of the turf. This is unique to soil-less turf.

Coronet Turf has been established for twenty years and is now recognized as one of the leading suppliers of soil-less turf in the country. It has built a name for quality turf for ornamental lawns and turf for use in specialist situations such as erosion control and environmental schemes.

There are many benefits for the customer who uses Coronet Turf and the soil-less system has positive environmental implications, the most important of which, is that there is no requirement for the removal of topsoil, which is the basis for conventional turf production.

This allows larger roll size which makes it a very easy product to use - landscapers have admitted that it is upto five times quicker to lay.

The end result is top quality lawn turf available throughout the year, whatever the weather, that will suit all turfing requirements.
