Shadesman+ Shade Tolerant Turf

Create a healthier, greener lawn in challenging shaded areas with Shadesman+ Shade Tolerant Turf. Specifically developed for locations that receive reduced levels of sunlight, this premium turf provides an effective solution for gardens where conventional lawn turf often struggles to thrive.

Ideal for areas beneath trees, alongside fences, between buildings and in north-facing gardens, Shadesman+ combines carefully selected shade-tolerant grass cultivars to produce an attractive, resilient lawn capable of performing in lower light conditions. While no turf will thrive in complete darkness, Shadesman+ is designed to establish and perform significantly better than standard lawn turf in shaded environments.

In addition to its shade tolerance, Shadesman+ offers excellent durability and a dense, healthy appearance, making it suitable for family gardens, landscaped developments and commercial projects alike.

Why Choose Shadesman+ Shade Tolerant Turf?

Many lawns suffer from thinning grass, bare patches and poor growth due to insufficient sunlight. Shadesman+ has been specifically developed to address these challenges, helping create a stronger and more attractive lawn where traditional turf varieties may struggle.

Key benefits include:

• Specially formulated for shaded and partially shaded gardens
• Premium quality turf with excellent visual appeal
• Hard-wearing and durable once established
• Suitable for domestic and commercial landscaping projects
• Supplied without reinforcing netting
• Dense, healthy grass coverage
• Ideal for challenging garden environments
• Professionally cultivated by a leading UK turf grower

Ideal Applications

Shadesman+ is particularly well suited for:

• Gardens with significant tree cover
• North-facing gardens
• Areas between buildings
• Sheltered courtyards
• Commercial landscaping schemes
• Residential developments
• Public open spaces
• Garden renovation projects

It can also be used alongside standard lawn turf where different areas of a garden experience varying levels of sunlight.

Net-Free Turf

Unlike many modern turf products, Shadesman+ is supplied without reinforcing netting. This makes installation straightforward and appeals to customers who prefer a completely natural turf product.

Important Product Information

Shadesman+ Turf is a living, perishable product and should be laid as soon as possible following delivery. During warmer weather, turf should ideally be installed immediately upon arrival to maintain optimum quality and establishment.

As with all natural turf products, slight variations in colour, texture and appearance may occur depending on seasonal growing conditions and the time of year. These variations are normal and do not affect product performance.

While Shadesman+ performs exceptionally well in shaded conditions, all turf requires some natural daylight to thrive. Areas of permanent deep shade may require additional management or alternative landscaping solutions.

Delivery Methods

• The majority of our deliveries are made via a ‘hiab’/crane vehicle.

With unattended deliveries, Raycox Turf LTD cannot accept any liability for theft, product deterioration or consequences arising from the positioning of your delivery.
• We undertake to place the goods as close to your property as is deemed safe by the driver.
• In order to maximise delivery efficiencies, where possible multiple goods may delivered as a single pallet consignment.  
• For any delivery requested to be made off the hard roadway you will be asked by the driver to sign and indemnity confirmation.

Failed deliveries

Where deliveries cannot be made due to insufficient access to the delivery address or difficulties on the approach to the address, an unsuitable offloading area, obstructions, or where incorrect/insufficient instructions have been provided, a charge of £40 (plus. VAT) per pallet will be made for redelivery or return of the items to Raycox Turf.

If redelivery is requested, fees must be paid prior to an order being released for redelivery; if the order is returned to Raycox Turf, the £40 charge per pallet will be deducted from any outstanding refund due.

Due to the perishable nature of turf, where delivery cannot be made successfully we will be unable to refund the amount paid for the turf.
