What we do
We lay and re-lay lawns as part of broader builds. Sometimes that's a complete rebuild — old turf lifted, soil prepared and levelled, fresh-laid rolled turf with proper edge cuts against hardscape. Sometimes it's an integrated zone in a larger composition: a defined Astro insert, a bordered grass panel within porcelain, a re-laid lawn framed by recessed lighting.
We don't run lawn-only contracts. Turf earns its place as part of a garden's design, not as an afterthought to it.
How we approach it
Soil prep is everything. Compacted developer-grade subsoil is lifted, broken up, blended with quality topsoil, levelled and consolidated before turf goes down. Turf is laid stretcher-bond pattern, butted tight, rolled, watered programmatically for the first two weeks. Edges are cut clean against any hardscape — no sloppy transitions.
Turf is structural — it deserves the same prep as the surfaces around it.
Materials
Hard-wearing rolled turf for everyday family use. Fine-grade for ornamental settings. High-quality Astro turf for low-maintenance inserts where year-round green matters more than authentic grass. Topsoil graded to British Standard, not whatever's nearest in the yard.
In practice
See Garden composition, Warsash 2025 for a re-laid lawn integrated within a multi-zone build, framed by recessed LED at the perimeter and bordered against pressure-treated sleeper raised beds.
