Preparation first
A new lawn starts below the turf.
A good lawn depends on the preparation underneath it. Levels, drainage and soil condition all affect how the turf establishes and performs.
We remove unsuitable material where necessary, cultivate and level the ground, improve the topsoil and prepare a consistent surface before laying new turf.
Edges, falls and transitions to paving are set out carefully so the lawn sits naturally within the rest of the garden.
Once laid, the turf is rolled, watered and handed over with guidance for the important first weeks of establishment.
Lawn care made easier
Robot mowing & automatic irrigation
Our work does not have to stop once the new lawn is laid. We can install and integrate robotic lawn mower systems to keep the grass regularly cut with minimal day-to-day effort.
Automatic irrigation can also be designed into the garden, providing consistent watering when the lawn needs it and making ongoing maintenance much easier.
Together, these systems can make a natural lawn simpler to look after while keeping the garden neat, healthy and ready to enjoy.
Prepare, Lay & Establish
A lawn built on good ground
The visible turf is the final layer. Most of the quality comes from careful soil preparation and accurate levels — and, where required, we can plan in robotic mowing and automatic irrigation from the start for easier long-term care.
02
Lay
Fresh turf is laid tightly with staggered joints and clean edges.
03
Establish
The lawn is watered and aftercare guidance is provided for rooting and first cuts. Robotic mower and automatic irrigation systems can also be installed and integrated for simpler ongoing maintenance.
