TURF SUPPLY AND LAYING

We offer a full lawn turfing service – from ground preparation and laying turf to appropriate fertiliser applications and wetting agents to help a new lawn quickly establish and thrive.

Creating a new lawn from turf produces an instantly attractive result and can be done from autumn to early spring, in suitable weather.

Laying turf is a quick way to get an instant lawn. It’s good for situations where you can’t stay off the lawn for long or need a usable lawn quickly. So, if you have children or pets, it’s often a good option, as you can use a lawn a few weeks after it has been laid.

Although laying turf is a quick way to achieve lawn cover, soil preparation beforehand is just as important as for sowing lawn seed. Turf is also more expensive than seed and it needs to be laid within a few days of delivery, so time is of the essence.

Turf is best laid in mid-autumn, but can be laid any time between mid-autumn and early spring, whenever the soil isn’t too wet or frosty. In spring and autumn, little mowing is needed, so newly laid turf can be left relatively undisturbed for several weeks, which will help it get rooted in.

Bear in mind that turf laid in early spring often needs additional watering during dry spells over summer. Both dry conditions and mowing before the new turf is fully rooted will stress the grass plants and delay rooting.

The first step is to take a look at the area intended for turfing. We’ll come up with a plan and a cost, then book a date to complete the job!
