Services
Turf Supply
We supply fresh, high-quality turf grown from seed on our farms. Our grass undergoes weed control, rolling, and mowing to ensure maturity and durability. Ideal for residential gardens, commercial developments, and public spaces, our turf is harvested with precision machinery for even thickness. Customers can opt for self-installation or our professional laying service.
Topsoil Delivery
Our screened topsoil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, perfect for preparing garden beds or laying turf. Delivered in bulk bags, it supports healthy root growth and is suitable for landscapers, builders, and homeowners. We recommend it for use with new turf installations to enhance establishment and long-term lawn health.
Bark Mulch
FSC-certified pine bark mulch improves soil moisture retention and suppresses weeds. Available in bulk bags, it adds aesthetic appeal to flower beds and borders. The 18-35mm particle size provides frost protection for plants and enhances garden appearance while being lightweight and easy to apply.
Compost Supply
Peat-free compost made from green waste enriches soil structure and fertility. It aids drainage in clay soils and moisture retention in sandy soils, promoting earthworm activity. Ideal for mixing with existing soil or topsoil, it supports sustainable gardening practices for domestic and professional use.
Turf Installation
Our professional team offers full turf installation, from site preparation to final laying. Using experienced staff and specialist equipment, we ensure precise ground levelling and efficient turf placement. Services cater to private homeowners and trade clients, with options for partial or complete project management.
