Bentgrass Lawn
Bentgrass is widely regarded as one of the best turf options for high-performance sporting surfaces. Known for its fine texture, dense growth, and ability to be maintained at very low mowing heights, it’s commonly used on golf greens, bowling greens, and other specialist sports facilities where surface quality matters.
At Seed & Turf, we supply bentgrass turf for golf courses, sports venues, councils, and commercial landscaping projects. Our turf is grown to suit specific project requirements, helping clients achieve reliable performance and a professional finish.
What is Bentgrass?
Bentgrass is a turfgrass species within the Agrostis genus. It is valued for its fine leaf blade, dense growth habit, and ability to create an exceptionally smooth playing surface. Because of these characteristics, bentgrass is commonly used for:
- Golf greens
- Bowling greens
- High-performance sporting facilities
- Specialist commercial turf projects
While bentgrass can sometimes be considered a weed in residential lawns, carefully selected commercial cultivars are grown specifically for sports and recreational surfaces where precision and consistency are essential.
What Makes Bentgrass So Popular?
Bentgrass has earned its reputation as a premium turfgrass because it delivers exceptional playing performance and visual appeal.
A Smooth, Consistent Surface
Bentgrass is best known for the quality of surface it produces. Its dense growth and fine texture help create a true, even playing surface, which is particularly important on golf and bowling greens.
Fine Texture
Compared with many other turf species, bentgrass has a noticeably finer leaf blade. The result is a refined appearance and a surface that performs consistently under regular use.
Performs Well at Low Mowing Heights
One of bentgrass’s key advantages is its ability to remain healthy and dense when maintained at very low mowing heights. This makes it a preferred choice for facilities where surface precision is a priority.
Recovery and Wear Tolerance
Modern bentgrass cultivars have been developed to improve wear tolerance and recovery, helping maintain turf quality under intensive management programs.
Why Choose Seed & Turf’s Bentgrass Lawn?
The quality of the turf is only part of the equation. Choosing a supplier with the right growing practices and experience can make a significant difference to long-term performance.
✔️ Leading Bentgrass Varieties
Each variety offers different performance characteristics, allowing us to match turf selection to the needs of your project. Take your pick between Penn G2, Penn A1, or Penncross.
✔️ USGA Specification Sand
We grow our bentgrass on USGA specification sand, providing a consistent growing medium that supports healthy root development and predictable establishment.

Unlike some turf products, our bentgrass sod is grown without netting. This allows for easier aeration, more effective dethatching, and better integration with existing root zones after installation.
