Turfing · Chelmsford & Essex

Turfing and new lawns

We lay new turf in Chelmsford for home lawns, and across Essex and London for verges, communal areas and commercial landscaping projects. Good turfing starts with the preparation: old grass and weeds removed, the ground levelled and raked to a fine tilth, then the turf rolls laid tight with staggered joints and watered in.

Topsoil and levelling

A good finish starts with the ground underneath. We spread topsoil and level and grade the ground, by hand or with our mini digger, so it is ready for turf, seed or planting.

For bigger jobs we can combine this with site clearance, groundwork or digger and driver hire.

Seeding and wildflower areas

Grass seeding and wildflower areas for gardens, verges and communal spaces. Tell us about the area and what you would like it to become, and we will talk you through the options.
