Lawn installation in Moreton-in-Marsh, giving Cotswold-stone houses a tidy green setting, with careful preparation of the ground and straightforward guidance on caring for new turf.
Moreton-in-Marsh grew along the Fosse Way, and its main street is lined with houses in local Cotswold stone. Behind them, gardens differ widely: some are long and thin, some square and sheltered, and newer homes further out have the usual open-plan front lawn.
A good lawn does a lot for a stone house, which is why we take the groundwork seriously. SPR Trees and Landscapes provides turf supply and installation here, handling clearance, levelling and soil as well as the laying. You get a clear explanation of each step, and a free quotation before we begin.
Soils on the north Cotswold edge can be shallow and stony in places, with limestone close to the surface, while other plots are heavier and wetter. We check by digging test holes and looking at how the garden behaves in rain. Where soil is thin, we add topsoil to give the roots a decent depth. Stones and old construction debris are removed, and the surface is graded so water drains away from walls and doors. Taking time with levelling avoids the lumps that make a lawn hard to mow later.
A worn lawn in front of a stone house stands out, so many customers here want a neat, even finish. We lift the existing turf if it is past saving, prepare a clean bed, and lay new rolls with offset joints, trimming crisply to paths and borders. For rear gardens used by families, a harder-wearing option is available. Dog owners may also want a mix that recovers well from wear. We talk through the choices, keeping things practical rather than technical.
Thin soils dry out faster, so new turf in this area can need more attention than you might expect. We explain how much to water and how to tell when it has rooted. Once the lawn is established, small faults can be patched with fresh turf, and tired areas can be renovated with raking, feeding and overseeding. If wear is concentrated in one place, such as a path to the shed or a goalmouth, moving the route or reinforcing the spot may help too.
We cover Moreton-in-Marsh and the nearby countryside, including Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Shipston-on-Stour and Bourton-on-the-Water. Many gardens here are reached through narrow side passages or gates, and some are on busy roads, so we plan deliveries to suit. Get in touch with a rough idea of the size and what you want the lawn to do, and we will arrange a visit and provide a free quotation.
We also take on lawn turfing work in nearby Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Shipston-on-Stour, Bourton-on-the-Water.

Yes. We pick out larger stones and add topsoil to build up a workable layer before laying turf. A little extra depth makes a big difference to how well the lawn copes in dry spells.
Levelling is a key part of the job. We even out lumps and hollows during preparation, since turf follows the surface beneath it and any unevenness will show once it is laid.
Yes. We cut turf to fit around trunks, beds and paths, leaving appropriate space at the base of trees. Tell us if you plan to change borders, so we can lay the edges to suit.
