Delivery and laying of turf

Delivery and Laying of Turf

A healthy lawn changes how a garden looks and how it feels to use. Our turf delivery and laying service gives you an instant, green result without the long wait and patchy growth that often comes with seeding. We supply quality turf, bring it to your property, and install it with careful ground preparation so it establishes quickly and stays looking good.

What is included in our turf service

We handle the full process from planning to finishing touches. Whether you are replacing tired grass or creating a brand new lawn, you can expect tidy workmanship and clear communication throughout. If you also need related lawn care services after installation, we can advise on ongoing maintenance to keep the surface level, dense, and weed free.

• Turf delivery: scheduled delivery so turf arrives fresh and ready to lay
• Site assessment: measuring the area, checking drainage, and discussing how the lawn will be used
• Ground preparation: clearing, leveling, and improving the soil structure
• Professional laying: tight joins, correct alignment, and firming in for good root contact
• Aftercare guidance: watering plan and first mow timing so the lawn establishes properly

Proper preparation for a lawn that lasts

The most common reason new lawns fail is not the turf itself, it is the base underneath. We focus on soil preparation because it supports root growth, helps drainage, and reduces future problems like sinking, puddling, and dry spots.

Clearance and base building

We remove old grass, weeds, stones, and construction debris, then grade the area to the correct levels. This includes shaping for run off away from buildings and creating smooth transitions to patios, paths, and borders. If green waste is generated, it is gathered and removed to leave your space clean and ready to use.

Soil improvement and leveling

We loosen compacted ground and improve the top layer so roots can push down easily. Depending on the site, this may include adding topsoil to correct low areas, blending in organic matter, and refining the surface for a fine, even finish. For clients booking broader landscaping services, turf installation can be coordinated with edging, planting, or paving work so everything ties together neatly.

How we lay turf for the best finish

When the surface is prepared, turf must be installed promptly and correctly. We lay each roll in a pattern that reduces visible lines, keeps joints tight, and avoids weak seams. Edges are trimmed cleanly around beds, manholes, and curves so the lawn looks crisp from day one.

1. Final rake and firm: create an even, lightly compacted base without compressing the soil too much
2. Laying in staggered rows: like brickwork to strengthen joins and reduce movement
3. Close joints, no overlaps: prevents dry gaps and lumpy areas as turf settles
4. Firming and first water: press turf into contact with soil and water thoroughly to start rooting

We also pay close attention to access and site protection, including keeping paths clear, working efficiently, and minimizing disruption while the job is underway.

Aftercare advice and ongoing maintenance

A newly laid lawn needs consistent watering and a little patience while roots establish. We provide straightforward guidance based on the time of year, sun exposure, and soil type. You will know how often to water, when it is safe to walk on the turf, and when to make the first cut.

• Watering: keep the turf and top layer of soil damp, especially in warm or windy weather
• First mow: typically once the turf is rooted and growth is active, using sharp blades
• Feeding: light fertilising at the right time to promote steady growth, not soft growth
• Weed awareness: avoid harsh treatments early on, spot issues and address them safely

If you want a hands off approach, we can recommend seasonal upkeep and connect you with garden maintenance services that suit your schedule.

Ideal for homes, rentals, and commercial grounds

Fresh turf is a practical upgrade for many types of properties. Homeowners choose it for family friendly gardens and better kerb appeal. Landlords use it to refresh outdoor areas between tenancies. Commercial sites often need a neat, presentable finish that is quick to achieve, from office frontages to communal green spaces.

To book turf delivery and laying, share the approximate size of the area, a couple of photos, and any concerns like pooling water or heavy shade. We will advise on preparation, timing, and what to expect, so you get a lawn that looks great now and performs well long term.
