Lawn Turfing Services in Ratoath
Laying new turf changes the look of a garden almost overnight, giving you an established lawn in a single day rather than leaving you to wait months for seed to grow. How well that turf thrives, or how much it struggles, depends largely on the preparation beforehand and the aftercare that follows.
Lawn Preparation
The first step is clearing away existing vegetation and removing debris, such as old turf, roots and stones that would otherwise leave an uneven surface. The soil then needs rotavating to break up compaction, which is especially common on new build properties where heavy machinery has compressed the ground.
Adding topsoil is often necessary as well. We aim for a depth of 100 to 150mm of quality topsoil, which gives grass roots the space they need to establish properly. Poor soil leads to a poor lawn, no matter how good the turf itself is. We level and grade the area carefully, creating gentle falls away from buildings so that water does not pool.
Before the turf goes down, the ground receives a final rake and light consolidation. The aim is a surface firm enough to walk on without sinking, but never compacted hard.
Alongside our lawning services in Ratoath, we offer other options for your garden, including artificial grass installations, fence installations and more.
