Many people believe that choosing artificial turf is the best way to keep their lawn looking great all year round, but we urge you to think carefully before you buy.
A lot of artificial grass on the market will become bleached by the sun’s rays over time and will turn an unappealing yellow colour. At this point, you will need to completely re-turf your lawn again!
When you choose our real grass turf and care for it properly, you can keep your lawn looking natural, fresh and green all year round. We even offer seasonal lawn treatment programmes to help you keep your new turf looking its best. Find out more about our turf laying services below.

Lawn Turf FAQs
What should I put down before laying turf?
Before laying new turf, you should loosen and level the existing soil base and remove any stones or tree roots that may exist. If the soil you want to support your lawn is not adequate we may need to add some soil or sand to a depth of around 60-100mm, depending on circumstances. Apply a lawn starter fertiliser on the prepared surface before laying your new turf.What is the best time of year to lay turf?
Lawn turf can be laid any time of year, so long as the weather isn’t too cold or dry, but the best time of year to lay new garden turf is mid-autumn. During spring and autumn, little mowing is needed, so freshly-laid turf can be left relatively undisturbed for several weeks. Lawns require lots of water so if you lay a lawn during the warmer months of the year when there may not be any rainfall, it will require watering.

Laying new turf on top of existing grass is possible, but the results will not be as good in the long term. New grass will grow over old turf; however, your lawn’s health will deteriorate over time as the old lawn dies. For optimal results, you should remove your old lawn before laying new turf.How long should you rest new turf for before walking on it?
We’d recommend leaving your new garden turf for at least 3 weeks before walking on it.
