For a lawn to look its best several months after installation, good preparatory work is key.
If the lawn you wish replacing is full of weeds (in particular tap rooted weeds) it would be wrong to simply rotavate the area. By doing this, you are chopping all the tap roots into tiny pieces - these pieces have every right to, and more than likely will, grow. The resulting lawn, after only a few months, will more than likely be more weed ridden that the original lawn.
I choose to, unless otherwise stated, glyphosate the area weeks prior to commencing lawn. This, though a little more expensive, should provide a lawn requiring far less long term weed control.
The Process Stage 1
Unless otherwise stated, the area will be Glyphosated (Herbicide that kills old lawn & weeds from the roots first).
The Process Stage 2
The area is then mechanically rotavated/cultivated. Unless otherwise stated, organic matter is usually incorporated into the soil at this point. This; creates a better tilth & better aeration and; helps the clay in this beautiful Redditch soil to flocculate. This also helps with drainage.
The area is levelled and compacted. If necessary a light addition of sharp sand will be used to aid tilth.
The Process Stage 3
The Process Stage 4
Unless otherwise stated, the cultivated turf is sourced from Teal Turf.
The laid turf is then watered & ‘planked’

“We are delighted with the finished article. The lawn is now level, the turf has taken immediately and is a lush green, and the extra area of patio will allow us to use a picnic table when summer eventually comes! Work was done thoroughly, manner was friendly and civil and he cleared up when everything was done. Highly recommended!”
