3. Lawn turf can be utilised practically anywhere even in places that seeding would be a fruitless exercise or at the least a very expensive and ongoing exercise to become established. Turf will help to stop soil erosion and water run off pollution and is particularly good for sloping areas where rain would usually cause soil and seed to be simply washed away in the first heavy downfall.
