Natural Turf or Artificial Grass: Which Is Better in Handsworth?

If you're thinking about turf laying for a property in Handsworth, here's what's genuinely worth knowing first. Nothing transforms a tired garden quite as quickly as a fresh new lawn, and we prepare the ground properly and professionally lay natural turf to create attractive new lawns for existing gardens and complete landscaping projects. A common question in Handsworth is how natural turf compares with artificial grass - the right choice depends on the garden, the budget and how the space will be used.

Weighing Up the Options in Handsworth

Both natural turf and artificial grass have their place, and the better choice for a Handsworth garden usually comes down to budget, how the area will be used, and the look you're after. Points worth weighing up include:

• One of the quickest ways to visibly transform a garden
• Properly prepared ground gives an even, healthy-looking lawn

• Works well as the final stage of a wider landscaping project

We're happy to talk through the pros and cons for your specific garden rather than suggest the same solution for every property.

What is the best time of year to lay turf?

Turf can be laid for much of the year, but spring and autumn in Handsworth generally give the best establishment conditions thanks to milder temperatures and reliable rainfall.

How soon can you walk on newly laid turf?

It's best to keep off new turf as much as possible for the first few weeks while the roots establish, though light use is usually fine after around 3-4 weeks.

Can new turf be laid over an existing lawn?

The existing lawn generally needs to be removed and the ground properly prepared first - laying straight over old grass gives a poor, uneven result.
