A beautiful lawn can completely transform your outdoor space, providing a fresh, vibrant look and a soft, inviting surface for relaxation and play. Whether you’re starting from scratch or replacing a patchy, tired lawn, laying new turf is the quickest way to achieve a lush, green garden. At Edge & Cut, we specialise in professional turfing services, ensuring a seamless installation and long-lasting results.
Why Choose Turf Over Seeding?
If you’re considering a new lawn, you may be debating between turf and grass seed. While both have their benefits, turf offers several advantages:
● Instant Results – Unlike seeding, which can take weeks to grow, turf provides immediate greenery.
● Weed Resistance – High-quality turf is grown in controlled conditions, making it more resistant to weeds compared to seeded lawns.
● Stronger Establishment – Turf is already mature upon installation, giving it a better chance of thriving with the right care.
● Less Maintenance Initially – With proper watering, turf establishes quickly, whereas seeded lawns require constant monitoring and protection from birds and foot traffic.
The Turfing Process: How We Create Your Perfect Lawn
1. Site Preparation
A healthy lawn starts with good preparation. We begin by removing old grass, weeds, and debris before levelling the ground. Proper soil preparation, including aeration and adding nutrients, ensures the turf can root deeply and thrive.
2. Choosing the Right Turf
Not all turf is the same. Depending on your garden conditions, we recommend the best turf variety for your needs—whether it’s hard-wearing turf for families and pets or a fine, ornamental lawn for a manicured look.
3. Professional Turf Laying
Our team expertly lays the turf, ensuring tight seams for a seamless finish. We take care to avoid gaps or overlapping, creating a smooth, even lawn.
4. Aftercare & Maintenance Advice
Once the turf is in place, we provide essential care tips, including watering schedules, the best time for the first mow, and how to keep your new lawn looking its best all year round.
Caring for Your New Lawn
Proper aftercare is key to a healthy, long-lasting lawn. Here are some important tips:
● Water Regularly – New turf needs consistent watering to establish strong roots, especially during dry spells.
● Avoid Heavy Foot Traffic – Give your new lawn time to settle by minimising use for the first few weeks.
● First Mow with Caution – Wait until the grass reaches about 7-8cm before mowing, and set your mower blades high to avoid stressing the new turf.
