Tillers Turf has established an international reputation as specialist growers of turf for golf courses. Turf for greens, tees, fairways and bunkers is supplied throughout the UK, France, Belgium, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Luxembourg and Ireland.

The evaluation of new grass species and mixtures is an important brief for Tillers' R&D department, and this has led to the commercial production of RTF turf, Crested Hairgrass turf, Rootzone turf and Wildflower turf. The demands of climate change and the need to ensure the sustainability of landscapes, dictate that the company explores grasses that can tolerate weather extremes and can thrive under low maintenance regimes.

He is an enthusiastic ambassador for turf, and believes that turf has a crucial part to play in the sustainability of landscapes both today and in the future.
