What we do
Turfing & New Lawns in York
A fresh lawn brings a garden together. We supply and lay quality turf across York — new lawns from scratch, tired lawn replacements, or as the finishing touch on a landscaping project.
Preparation Matters
We remove the old surface, prepare the soil, level the ground, and add fresh topsoil where needed. The turf is laid with tight joints, rolled flat, and watered in. We provide full aftercare instructions.
Looking for zero-maintenance instead? We also install artificial grass — we can talk you through both options.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ's
When is the best time to lay turf in York?
Turf can be laid at most times of year, though spring and autumn tend to give the best results. We’ll advise on the right timing for your project.
How long before I can walk on new turf?
New turf needs time for the roots to establish before it can take regular foot traffic. We’ll give you clear aftercare guidance when the work is done.
Do you include soil preparation?
Yes. Proper ground preparation is always included to give the turf the best possible start.
Can you turf over an existing lawn?
It’s not recommended. We remove the old lawn, prepare the ground properly, and then lay fresh turf. This gives a much better result that lasts longer.
How much aftercare does new turf need?
The main thing is regular watering for the first few weeks, especially in warm or dry weather. We’ll provide full aftercare instructions when the turf is laid.
Do you offer artificial grass as an alternative to turfing?
Yes. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance option, we also install high-quality artificial grass. We can discuss both options during the consultation.
