Your garden, considered

Preparation makes the lawn

New turf only thrives on good ground. We remove the old lawn and weeds, cultivate and improve the soil, then level and firm it before laying.

We lay quality turf with tight joints, roll it and explain watering so it roots quickly.

In Clapham's narrow gardens, turf often has to come through the house; we plan delivery and protection.
