Turfing & Seeding

Turfing

A full comprehensive turf laying service is offered, from laying turf onto new build areas, to completely removing old lawn, and replacing with new. Although turfing is a more expensive option, the results are instant compared to seeding a lawn, which can be susceptible to weeds and birds during early growth.

Food for thought, is your garden in a very shaded area, or surrounded by big trees? Most turf supplied is grown in areas that are very accessible to light, and have good water supply. If new turf is laid in areas of poor light, or big trees present, which suck all the ground water up through their root system, it will look good to start, but over a period of two to three years, it will start to fade away, as it has been placed into the wrong environment to the area it has been grown in. In these areas, I would highly recommend a grass seed that is specific for these places, rather than turf, as it will save you a lot of time and money in the long run.

Seeding

A lawn seed service is provided, and is highly recommended, for areas that are subject to poor light, or air circulation, i.e walled garden for instance, or areas that have large trees present, a shady grass seed would be better.

Food for thought, if you are on a tighter budget, have a shady garden, or want a specific type of lawn, then seeding would be recommended in this case.
