“If they pay careful attention to each step, their lawn should thrive for years.”
Thanks to online ordering from Hawaiian Turfgrass, it’s simple to shop for a new lawn. Packed with comprehensive information about each of its turfgrass varieties, the company’s website includes a com- parison chart with the three top per- forming sods in categories like low maintenance, fertilization needs and drought tolerance. Its website has all the tools you need to choose the best grass for your lawn, including an area calculator that uses satellite mapping to help you determine its square footage.
The company offers both pickup and curbside delivery for homeowners who want to do their own installation. Prepping for installation is a multi- step process, Fong explains.
