Turfing and Lawn Care in Claines: Natural and Artificial

We lay natural turf, install artificial grass and renovate worn lawns for homes in Claines, Worcester, Hallow and Fernhill Heath. Because gardens here vary, we choose the approach to suit how the space is used, not simply what is quickest to install.

Matching the lawn to the garden

Natural turf gives a soft, living surface and suits gardens with reasonable sun and room to play. Artificial grass suits small, shaded or heavily trodden gardens where grass never quite settles, provided it is laid on a proper base. Renovation works when the existing lawn has life in it but needs levelling, feeding or repair.

Edges are another place where suburban lawns win or lose. A straight, firm edge beside a border or path makes mowing quicker and stops grass creeping into the beds, and in small gardens it makes the whole space look sharper.

• Natural turf laid on prepared, levelled soil
• Artificial grass with a compacted, free-draining base
• Lawn renovation for moss, bare patches and hollows
• Neat edging against paths, patios and borders

Preparation and aftercare

Before turf goes down, we clear the old surface, correct levels and rake the soil fine. Turf is then laid tightly with staggered joints and trimmed to the edges. In the first few weeks it needs regular watering, and we explain what to do so the roots take properly.

Smaller family gardens often take a lot of wear in one area, such as by the back door or around a trampoline. A path or a stepped edge there can save the lawn. Shady corners under trees or beside walls are a common source of patchy grass, and in these places we may suggest a different surface instead of reseeding repeatedly. As Claines is effectively on our doorstep, we can usually fit a site visit in quickly and look at the lawn as it actually is.
