What to Expect in Smethwick

Every garden is different, but the main things that affect the job are:

• Ground preparation - clearing, levelling and improving the soil
• The quality and type of turf used
• Drainage and how the lawn area is edged against paving or borders
• Time of year, which affects how quickly turf establishes

We'll always give you a realistic timescale and clear scope for your Smethwick garden once we've seen the site and discussed what you're looking for.

What is the best time of year to lay turf?

Turf can be laid for much of the year, but spring and autumn in Smethwick 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.
