A new lawn is only as good as the ground it’s laid on, and most of the lawn problems we get called out for start with turf laid straight onto compacted subsoil with no proper topsoil or drainage underneath. We strip the old surface, rotovate and level, add topsoil where needed, and lay turf that’s been cut and delivered within 24 to 48 hours rather than sat on a pallet for a week losing moisture.
For existing lawns that have gone patchy or waterlogged, we scarify, aerate and overseed rather than jumping straight to a full re-turf, which is usually cheaper and often all that’s needed. Clay-heavy gardens around Rotherham and Barnsley benefit from core aeration most autumns to stop water sitting on the surface through winter.
New turf needs keeping off for around 3 weeks while it roots. From £16 per square metre for full turfing including ground preparation, from £180 for a scarify and overseed on an average lawn. Free quotes based on an actual look at your soil, not a guess over the phone.
