The Work
New lawns and turf laying in Tulse Hill
Turfing across Tulse Hill and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Tulse Hill address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.
Turf will root into almost anything for the first fortnight, then tell you the truth about what is underneath. Lay it over compacted subsoil and you get a lawn that yellows in the first dry spell and puddles all winter.
So the ground comes first. Old turf off, the level sorted, topsoil where it is needed, and a firm, raked bed to lay onto.
- Old lawn or vegetation stripped and taken away
- Ground rotavated or forked over where it has been compacted
- Levels corrected, and topsoil brought in where there is not enough
- Bed firmed and raked to a fine tilth before laying
- Turf laid in a staggered bond, joints closed up, edges cut to your borders
- Watered in on the day
What We Do
What turfing covers
The parts of the job, and what each of them is actually for.
Strip
The old lawn comes off rather than getting buried, so the new turf is not rooting into dead thatch.
Break up and level
Compacted ground gets opened up, then the levels are worked out and set. This is the part that decides how the lawn drains.
Topsoil and tread
Topsoil where the depth is short, then the bed is firmed by foot so it does not sink into hollows later.
Rake and lay
A fine rake, then turf laid in a staggered bond with the joints pushed tight so they knit rather than dry out and open.
Cut and water
Edges cut to your borders and the whole lawn watered in before we go.
The Price
Turfing costs in Tulse Hill
Most of the cost sits in the groundwork rather than the turf itself, so the levels and whatever is under the old lawn decide the figure. That means standing on the ground and checking it. Free on-site quote, in writing, no obligation.
- Area, and how much old lawn has to come off and go away.
- How far out the levels are, and whether topsoil has to be brought in.
- Access for barrows. Turf is heavy and every roll is carried.
- Turf grade. A hard-wearing family lawn and a fine ornamental one are not the same price.
Why Choose Us
Why Tulse Hill calls us back
The price comes after we have seen it
Access decides most of what a tree job costs, and you cannot see access down a phone line. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing that does not move on the day.
We finish the job the same day we start it
The chipper runs alongside the cutting, so there is no stack of brash left by the gate waiting on a second visit.
Trees and grounds from one team
The same crew fells the tree, washes the patio it was dropping on, and lays the turf afterwards. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one garden.
You are told when something is a bad idea
Conifers cut past the green never recover. Gravel over bare soil sinks. Where a job will not give you what you are hoping for, we say so before quoting, not after.
You do not pay until you are happy with it
No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.
