Returfing
From £16 per m²
Turf laid on unprepared ground looks perfect for one season and then reverts to whatever was underneath it. Almost every failed lawn we are called to on a new-build estate is turf that was rolled straight onto compacted subsoil and site rubble by the developer.
So we lift the old surface, break up the compaction to a spade’s depth, remove what should not be there, bring in screened topsoil where the profile is too thin, and level and firm before anything green arrives. On a typical 90m² garden that is two days of preparation and half a day of laying.
Turf comes from a grower near Farnham who cuts to order — it is on your lawn within 24 hours of being lifted, which matters more than the cultivar does. We water it in, and we come back at two weeks and six weeks to check it has knitted, at no extra charge.
Our other services
6 Treatment, 5 Visit™ Programme
Our year-round programme, built around what your soil test actually says rather than a standard schedule. Five visits, six treatments, one technician who knows your lawn.
Thatch, moss and compaction
The two mechanical jobs that make everything else work. Take out the thatch, open up the soil, and a lawn that has stopped responding to feed starts responding again.
For tired or worn lawns
For lawns too far gone for a treatment plan but not far enough gone to dig up. Scarify hard, aerate, overseed, top dress — one autumn, and a different lawn by May.
Free first visit and a written plan.
We measure the lawn, test the soil and tell you what it needs. No charge and no obligation, and if it does not need us we will say so.
