Turf installation in Stratford-upon-Avon, covering period house gardens near the river and new-estate lawns, with ground preparation matched to the property and its soil.
Stratford-upon-Avon is a town of contrasts. Period houses and long established gardens sit close to the river, while estates built in recent decades spread out beyond them. People often ask us for turf when they have taken on a house with a neglected lawn, or when building work has left their garden a mess.
We offer turf supply and installation, with the groundwork included, so one team handles the job from start to finish. We look at each garden individually, because the problems differ: heavy wet soil in one place, builder's compaction in another. A free visit lets us explain what we would do and why.
Garden soils beside the river valley can be heavy and damp, while new-build plots have thin topsoil over compacted fill. We clear what is on the surface, break up compaction, and remove stones and builders' leftovers. Topsoil is added to correct levels and give roots a good home, and then raked fine and firm. In an older garden, we also look out for hidden paths and old beds, which can cause sinking later. Taking trouble over the base is what lets turf settle in evenly.
A tired lawn in a handsome garden lets the whole place down. We lift the old surface, dispose of it, and lay new natural turf in staggered rows with tight joints. On estate plots, we often start with bare ground left after a build, which allows a clean sweep. We can match the turf to the use, from a durable family garden lawn to a smoother one for the front. Edges are cut sharply to paths, patios and borders.
We give written-style, plain guidance on watering: how much, how often, and how to read the weather. The first mow should be light, and heavy use should wait until the lawn has rooted. Established lawns can be repaired by replacing small areas, aerating compacted soil or overseeding thin parts. Shade from mature trees, a feature of many gardens here, may need a different grass or reduced expectations, and we tell you frankly what is possible.
We work in Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding Warwickshire countryside, and cover Alcester, Shipston-on-Stour and Warwick. Some garden access is through terraced passages or shared drives, and gardens near the river may have damp areas, so a short description helps us plan. We will come out, look at the site and send you a free quotation, with no pressure to proceed.
We also take on lawn turfing work in nearby Alcester, Shipston-on-Stour, Warwick.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Yes. These plots often have compacted subsoil and leftover builder's waste. We clear and loosen the ground, add topsoil where needed, and then lay the turf, which gives a better result than laying straight on top.
Often it is, with good preparation. We assess drainage, improve the soil and choose a suitable moment to lay. Very wet sites may need more work, which we explain at the quotation stage.
Yes. We lift the worn lawn, prepare the soil and lay fresh turf as one continuous job, so you are not left with bare soil for long. Weather can affect the timing.
