A new lawn is only as good as what's underneath it. Turf laid straight onto compacted builder's rubble looks perfect for a fortnight and then goes patchy, thin and uneven — so the preparation is where the time goes.
That means clearing the old surface, breaking up and grading the ground to a true level, adding topsoil where it's needed, and firming it properly before a single roll is unwrapped. Yorkshire's heavier clay soils need that groundwork more than most: get drainage and levels right first and the lawn establishes instead of struggling.
The turf itself is laid tight, joints staggered and rolled, edges cut cleanly against paving, borders or gravel — the detail that makes a new lawn look like it's always been there. We'll tell you how to water it through the first few weeks, which is the part that decides whether it takes.
New lawns pair naturally with our paving and fencing work in a full garden design.
