Professional Lawn Turfing Services in Margate
Laying fresh turf offers a rapid garden transformation, delivering an established lawn within a single day instead of the months required for seed germination and growth. The success and longevity of your new lawn depend entirely on thorough preparation and proper aftercare practices.
Ground and Soil Preparation
Our process begins with comprehensive site clearance, removing all existing vegetation and debris—including old turf, embedded roots, and stones that would otherwise create an uneven finished surface. The soil requires thorough rotavating to eliminate compaction, especially important on new-build sites where construction machinery has compressed the ground significantly.
Supplementing with quality topsoil frequently becomes essential. We target a depth of 100-150mm for premium topsoil, providing grass roots with adequate space for proper establishment. Inferior soil quality inevitably leads to poor lawn performance, irrespective of turf grade. Our careful levelling and grading creates gentle slopes directing water away from structures, preventing pooling issues.
Immediately before turfing, the ground receives a final raking and light consolidation—achieving sufficient firmness to support foot traffic without sinking, whilst avoiding excessive compaction.
Alongside our specialist turfing services in Margate, we provide additional garden solutions, including artificial grass installations, fence installations and more.
