Lawn Turfing Services in Carrickfergus
Installing fresh turf transforms your garden instantly, giving you a fully established lawn in just one day rather than waiting months for grass seed to grow. The longevity of your new lawn depends entirely on thorough preparation and regular care afterwards.
We offer lawn installation services that include low maintenance options like artificial grass, available in various styles, colours and textures to suit your preferences.
Lawn Preparation
We start by clearing all existing vegetation and removing debris such as old turf, roots and stones that would otherwise cause uneven surfaces. The soil gets turned over to eliminate compaction, particularly important on new build sites where heavy machinery has compressed the ground.
Adding fresh topsoil is usually necessary. We aim for 100 to 150mm depth of quality topsoil, giving grass roots sufficient room to establish properly. Poor quality soil will always result in a poor lawn, regardless of how good the turf is. We level and grade carefully, creating gentle slopes away from buildings to prevent water pooling.
Right before laying the turf, we give the surface a final rake and light firming, making it solid enough to walk on without leaving footprints, but not compressed too much.
Along with our turfing services in Carrickfergus, we offer additional solutions for your outdoor space, including artificial grass installation, patio paving and more.
