How the work fits together

Clearing

Out with the old

Where there's an old lawn, it's lifted with the roots and taken away. Weeds, stones and debris come out with it.

Preparing

A level, firm bed

The ground is dug over where it's compacted, topped up with soil where it's low, then raked and firmed so the turf sits flat.

Laying

Fresh turf, laid tight

Rolls go down in rows with staggered joints, edges are trimmed to shape and the lawn is watered in.

Questions

Questions people ask us

Can one quote cover more than one service?

Yes. Many gardens need a bit of everything, for example lifting an old lawn, adding topsoil and laying new turf. It all goes on one quote.

Do you do paving, fencing or planting?

We focus on lawns: the ground preparation, topsoil and turf that make a good one.
