Laying Turf

Reasons for Laying New Turf

Laying new turf, or sod, offers a quick and easy way to create a stunning, instant lawn compared to growing grass from seed. It also requires less mowing. Turf helps prevent soil erosion and keeps weeds down, promoting a healthier lawn. 

Challenges and Concerns

  • Climate Change: Extreme weather events, such as droughts, can damage natural turf, requiring increased irrigation and impacting the quality of the product. 
     
  • Weeds and Pests: Weeds and pests can negatively impact the health and appearance of natural lawns. 
     
  • Drainage Issues: Poor drainage can lead to waterlogging and related problems. 
     
  • Maintenance: Natural lawns require regular mowing, watering, and fertilization. 
     

Recommended Turf Types

Perennial Ryegrass:
This is a very common choice in the UK, especially for lawns that get a lot of use. It's fast-growing, durable, and recovers quickly after mowing. It's also fairly easy to maintain. 
Bent grass:
This grass is often used on golf courses and bowling greens due to its fine texture and ability to grow very close to the ground. 
Dwarf Ryegrass:
A common choice for UK lawns, especially due to its suitability for the four-season climate. 
Red Fescue:
This grass is a good choice for shady areas, where it can tolerate less sunlight than other varieties. It also has good drought tolerance. 

Our Turf Laying Process

The process of laying turf typically involves preparing the soil, ensuring a level surface, and then rolling out the turf pieces to create a new lawn. It's crucial to remove existing vegetation, dig and loosen the soil, and then create a firm and level base before laying the turf.
