    I'm about to lay some new turf and can't make my mind up on Rolawn or QLawn. They are both made up of pretty much the same (percentages) grasses;
    Dwarf Perennial Ryegrass 25%Slender Creeping Red Fescue 35%Chewings Fescue 20%Smooth Stalked Meadow Grass 20%
    The big difference is that Rolawn is grown on sandy loam topsoil and
    QLawn is grown on organic peat.

    Also, Q Lawn grade turf is certified by the TGA (Turfgrass Growers Association)
    Certificate of Excellence - I don't know if this has any true merit.

    Can someone please help me make my mind up?

    Thank you in advance.
