Lawn Turfing Services in Ashbourne
Laying new turf can transform a garden in a single day, giving you an established, healthy lawn without the long wait for seed to grow. How well that turf settles in depends on careful preparation and good aftercare, and we take care of both so you can feel confident in the result.
Lawn Preparation
We begin by clearing away existing vegetation and removing any debris, such as old turf, roots and stones that could leave the surface uneven. The soil is then rotavated to break up compaction, which is especially common on new build properties where heavy machinery has pressed the ground down.
Adding topsoil is often necessary, and we aim for a depth of 100 to 150mm of good quality topsoil. This gives the grass roots plenty of space to establish properly. Poor soil leads to a poor lawn, however good the turf may be. We then level and grade the area with care, creating gentle falls away from buildings so that water does not pool.
Before the turf is laid, the ground receives a final raking and light consolidation. It should be firm enough to walk on without sinking, but never compacted hard.
Alongside our lawn turfing services in Ashbourne, we offer other options for your garden, including artificial grass installations, fence installations and more.
