Lawn Turfing Services in Chelmsford
Installing new turf transforms a garden quickly, giving you an established lawn in a day rather than waiting months for seed to grow. Proper preparation and aftercare determine whether that turf thrives or struggles.
Lawn Preparation
We start by clearing existing vegetation and removing debris—old turf, roots, and stones that would create an uneven surface. The soil needs rotavating to break up compaction, particularly on new-build properties where heavy machinery has compressed the ground.
Adding topsoil often proves necessary. We aim for 100-150mm depth of quality topsoil, which gives grass roots room to establish properly. Poor soil means poor lawns, regardless of turf quality. We level and grade carefully, creating subtle falls away from buildings to prevent water pooling.
Before laying, the ground gets a final rake and light consolidation—firm enough to walk on without sinking, but not compacted hard.
Along with our lawning services in Chelmsford, we offer other options for your garden, including artificial grass installations, fence installations and more.
