Services
Turf Laying
Our expert turf laying service delivers instant, lush lawns using daily-harvested, home-grown turf. We ensure precise installation with uniform rolls, minimising waste through advanced harvesting technology. Clients benefit from immediate garden usability compared to 6-12 month seeding processes, with our team handling projects of all sizes across the North East.
Ground Preparation
We provide comprehensive ground preparation including turf removal, soil cultivation, and levelling. Our process eliminates weeds and debris while creating optimal soil conditions for root establishment. This foundational work ensures long-term lawn health and prevents future uneven growth or drainage issues.
Drainage Solutions
Our drainage installations prevent waterlogging through tailored systems like French drains and soakaways. We assess site-specific requirements to implement effective water dispersal solutions, protecting your lawn's integrity during heavy rainfall and preventing root rot.
Fencing Installation
We offer durable fencing solutions to complement new lawns, including timber and metal installations. Our fencing services enhance property security while creating clean boundaries that integrate seamlessly with landscaped gardens.
Turf Aftercare
Our aftercare guidance covers critical watering schedules, mowing techniques, and establishment timelines. We advise on optimal care during the first two weeks when root development is crucial, ensuring your new lawn thrives long-term through proper maintenance practices.
