We have been growing specialist turf for over 35 years
We have developed a reputation for high quality, innovation and excellent service.
Based in North Yorkshire, all of our turf is grown on stone-free, sandy loam soils to rigorously high, certified standards. Nine grades of turf are available to suit a wide range of uses, from general lawn turfs to hard wearing racecourses and fine bowling greens.
In recent years we have developed a number of exciting and innovative specialist landscaping products such as Lindum Grassfelt and Lindum Wildflower.
Lindum Wildflower Mat is accompanied by Lindum Sedum Mat as an alternative green roof vegetation. We can supply the full build up to sit on top of the waterproofing.
Protecting the environment and using sustainable, environment-friendly products is fundamental to everything we do and produce at Lindum.

We operate a network of distributors across the UK. Each distributor offers a friendly, personal and efficient service and can supply the range of Lindum landscaping and specialist turf products. Turf can be delivered direct to you or collected from their premises.

Plastic Free
We are always looking for new innovative ways to grow our products. Whilst the turf products have always been plastic free, we are very proud to be the only grower of plastic free wildflower.
Save The Bees
Lindum’s green innovation is helping to combat climate change, enhance biodiversity and improve sustainability by greening urban spaces.
Bees are now in serious decline in many parts of the world. Some countries have seen bee colonies decline by as much as 50% in recent years. Since 2010 the loss of the commercial honeybee in the UK has dropped by 45%.
Wildflowers are notoriously difficult to establish when grown from seed, or even as small plug plants, in an existing lawn or meadow, because they are often out-competed by aggressive grasses. Lindum Wildflower provides the instant solution.
Lindum Wildflower is a fantastic low maintenance way to introduce pollinators to areas that wouldn’t usually see much activity. It is successful even in the smallest of spaces.
Solar Panels
We actively promote Green energy through the use of Solar Panels that power the sprinklers. Where there’s solar power, remote water pumping becomes a possibility because it enables farmers to bring the energy to the equipment.
Water and Irrigation
We also have our own Boreholes and a sophisticated irrigation system of energy saving with variable speed pumps. A water bore hole is essentially a well, this is a practical well which can provide some key benefits, and Bore Holes are much more self-sufficient. The water from a bore hole sits dormant underground which has been accumulated naturally by rainfall and underground springs. It also means an access to a reliable water supply which won’t be interrupted by problems caused by things such as leaks or poor connections from antiquated pipe systems.
Fertilisation
The fertilisation process of growing grass has also been modified to be more Eco Friendly through Foliar Applications. Foliar feeding is a common practice of supplying nutrients to plants through their foliage. It involves spraying water-dissolved fertilisers directly on the leaves. Many believe that foliar feeding is favourable over soil application and it is associated with higher yields, and better fruit quality. This is also a technique that reduces wastage of water, this is because the plant will absorb water through its roots. Where fertilising through the soil is to be used, the nutrients in the soil will most likely leach resulting in a nutrient deficient plant.
Getting Involved
At Lindum HQ we also actively help out with agricultural surveys i.e. measuring rainfall and we recently took part in the Great British bird count. With Wildflower meadows and woods nearby to also encourage natural habitats for a large variety of species native to the local area.
