Ground preparation
Clearing, relieving compaction and improving soil so roots can get down into it.
Lawns and Turfing in Oxfordshire
A new lawn or wildflower meadow is often the last thing to go in, and the first thing you notice. We prepare the ground properly so it roots well and wears in rather than out.
We will keep your lawn looking its best all year round
Is your lawn thin, patchy or full of moss by the middle of summer? Most lawn problems start with the ground underneath and the first few cuts of the year.
We lift what is there, relieve compaction, improve the soil and get the levels right before any turf is laid. Turf goes down fresh and close-jointed and is watered in, so it knits together rather than shrinking apart at the seams.
Where a lawn is not the answer, we lay wildflower turf or sow a meadow mix instead. These need cutting only once or twice a year and do far more for bees, butterflies and birds than mown grass.
What goes into a new lawn
From the soil underneath to the first few weeks of watering, these are the parts that decide whether a lawn establishes properly.
Levels and drainage
Getting falls and levels right so the lawn drains and mows evenly across the whole area.
Turf and seed
Quality turf, wildflower turf or a sown mix, chosen for how the space is used and its aspect.
Aftercare
Clear guidance on watering, first cuts and feeding through the first season.
