Hello everyone,
I want to keep it simple and ask if anyone has already looked into the topic of turf in enough detail to recommend a good and affordable supplier or online shop! My landscaping contractor is going to shape the garden in the next few days. The landscaper suggests I should consider sowing the lawn in March. However, if I feel like it, I could also lay turf in early September, right?

But the irrigation really ran for hours every evening.
Especially at a facility in Egypt, that was truly impressive in a sustainable way.
I have honestly never walked barefoot on such grass before. It felt like a carpet.
Really amazing... Barefoot? Oh my God—you do realize that the irrigation there (for example, at the golf course in Soma Bay) uses wastewater from the surrounding hotels? Only coarse solids are filtered out beforehand with rakes and tines...

Only the large solids are filtered out beforehand with rakes and tines... Yes, barefoot. My feet are still intact, and I don’t have more calluses than before.
But that’s not really the point.
The fact is, this was the best lawn I have ever walked on in that hotel complex.
My question was: is micro-irrigation sufficient for this?
Usually not. In very large-scale systems, subsurface irrigation is used. On golf courses, huge lawn sprinklers are common. Within the facilities themselves, standard lawn sprinklers are used.
Micro-irrigation is mostly for small areas, such as a mini sprinkler with a 50cm (20 inches) range or, for example, drip emitters. Soaker hoses are basically drip pipes but less precise.
The reason a lawn looks so excellent is due to the type of grass, ample water, plenty of fertilizer, and regular maintenance.

The reason a lawn grows so well/is so good is due to the type of grass, plenty of water, lots of fertilizer, and maintenance. Seriously, that was really impressive. You could practically feel the lawn carrying you. I have never been on a golf course, but this is exactly how I imagine it.
Dense, firm yet simultaneously soft.
Like I said, like a carpet.
