What Harrowden Turf has been blogging about in the first half of 2017
Each week, the team at Harrowden Turf aim to add at least one blogpost to the company websites. Blogs are there to keep customers and colleagues up to date with news, product updates and ideas on how, when and why to use lawn turf, Meadowmat wild flower turf and Enviromat sedum matting.
Blog posts also help to answer questions at weekends and in the evening when Harrowden’s team of experts are not always on hand to answer the phone.
Some of these posts are up to four years old, but they are still as relevant today as they were back then. What’s more, Google tells us that people are still reading these blogs…..so they must be useful!
Here is a roundup of our most viewed blogposts this year. There are many others online. Simply click on the link to view the blogpost.
These blogs are great for garden design inspiration and for technical advice. Find out how Harrowden Turf’s customers use our products.
Meadowmat: Planting wild flowers on a slope
How Meadowmat was used to create a living green roof in Peckham, London

Turf: Large turfing project in Norfolk
Every turfing project has its own set of challenges. Maybe your new lawn needs to withstand the rigours of children and dogs? perhaps budget constraints mean it’s important to get best value for money? Whatever the brief, Harrowden usually has the right products to help overcome barriers. These are just 3 of the blogposts that examine specific situations and suggest solutions.
Sometimes you want to get an idea of what a whole project will cost – not just the materials and the delivery. In these two articles we were blogging about project prices.
We write a lot of blogs explaining the ins and outs of our products. They’re designed to help specifiers, designers and gardeners to choose the right products for their work, ensure they have all the materials they need to help their products thrive, and then care for meadowmat, enviromat and turf once it’s installed. Here are just three examples. Visit the product websites for more like these.
Is pre-turfing fertiliser really necessary?
When to mow a wildflower meadow
Lawn care is a huge subject and covers a whole host of topics from feeding, to mowing. Seasonal lawn care, common lawn diseases, toadstools and a whole lot more. As turf growers we want to help folks make the best lawns they can. The following blogposts deal with questions that arise in the first few days and weeks after new turf arrives.
