Services
Turf Supply
We supply fresh, high-quality lawn turf grown from seed on our own farms. Our turf is harvested using advanced machinery to ensure even thickness and a clean cut. Ideal for residential gardens, commercial developments, and public spaces, our product provides an instant lawn solution with minimal establishment time. All turf is delivered fresh, subject to weather conditions, and available year-round.
Topsoil Delivery
Our screened topsoil is rich in organic matter and microorganisms, creating optimal conditions for turf growth. Delivered in bulk bags, it's suitable for landscaping projects, garden renovations, and new lawn installations. The nutrient-dense black soil ensures strong root development and long-term lawn health, complementing our turf products for professional results.
Compost and Bark
We provide compost soil improver made from green waste and FSC-certified bark mulch. The compost enhances soil structure and moisture retention, while the bark suppresses weeds and improves garden aesthetics. Both products support sustainable gardening practices and are available in bulk quantities for domestic or commercial use.
Turf Installation
Our professional installation service covers site preparation, turf delivery, and expert laying. Available for private residences and trade clients, we handle projects from small gardens to large developments. The team uses industry best practices to ensure proper soil preparation, precise turf placement, and immediate aftercare guidance for optimal establishment.
Aftercare Advice
We offer comprehensive guidance on maintaining new turf, including watering schedules, mowing techniques, and fertilisation programs. Our advice covers the critical 14-day establishment period and long-term lawn care strategies. This support ensures clients achieve a healthy, durable lawn through proper maintenance practices tailored to their specific conditions.
