LT2 Low Maintenance Fine turf
We have developed LT2, a low maintenance fine turf, requiring less irrigation, fewer fertiliser inputs and a greatly reduced mowing regime if to be left longer, so grass can still be used as an environmentally sustainable option.
Best Uses

- Links courses: areas where salt tolerance is requiredGreen Roofs
Extensive green roofs requiring a turf grass finish with low maintenance. It is for true low maintenance roofs which can be left to grow long needing only one or two cuts per year. It is not suitable to create a lawn on a roof.
