Turfing in Guildford, Horsley, Ripley, Woking and all Locations in the Surrounding Areas
Book in for turfing services with landscaping and garden maintenance specialists who have an established presence in the Surrey area. The addition of lush, green centrepieces from Simmons Garden Services is the perfect way to overcome dry, failed or patchy lawns. Instead of using seeds and having to wait for grass to grow, turf can create an instant transformation, improve the soil and enhance water drainage.
We undertake turfing projects across all local areas, including:
Guildford | Horsley | Ripley | Woking
Simmons Garden Services can lay freshly-cut turf, sourced from local suppliers, to reduce transportation and ensure better adaptation in local conditions. The result is a much stronger root system and less stress on the product itself. When turfing is harvested locally and delivered to a site immediately, it has deeper, more rigorous roots.
We can supply premium and standard turf based on your budget, shade-tolerant turf for gardens where sunlight is limited, and hardwearing turf for properties where a higher level of foot traffic is present.
Hardwearing turfing is ideal for those with children or family pets.
The Turfing Process
Turfing from Simmons Garden Services includes the uplifting of lawns that have failed, and the removal of weeds which otherwise starve a freshly-laid turf of vital nutrients. Ground preparation, laying and finishing are also included, and we can offer advice on aftercare or long-term maintenance. Cost is influenced by the size of the area we are turfing, access, ground conditions, prep work and waste removal.
Customers in Guildford, Horsley, Ripley and Woking, and those across Surrey, will be further advised on a watering schedule, when a first grass cutting is needed, fertilisation and when to walk on the turf.
The turfing process works as follows:
- Initial site assessment and survey of the grounds
- A full land clearance and the site’s preparation
- Conditioning of the soil prior to laying turf
- Turfing completed using a starting fertiliser
- Watering, finishing and complete aftercare advice
Whereas seeding presents issues with birds, rain eroding the soil or weeds supressing growth, turfing can give property owners a new lawn that is instantly laid, can be walked on in as little as three weeks and requires considerably less maintenance than a young grass seed.
Attention is paid to the surrounding landscaping elements, so as not to cause damage, and we can easily work around fencing and features.
Simmons Garden Services is an established turfing specialist with an impressive reputation, and has a portfolio of successful landscaping projects backed by glowing customer testimonials. Turf is best laid in the mid-autumn months, between September and November, when soils are still warm from summer, and cooler air contains more moisture.
Good timing can reduce the amount of watering needed and the climate in autumn is temperate enough to help roots establish before winter.
Should you require a low-maintenance lawn for a garden in Guildford, Horsley, Ripley or Woking, or anywhere in the surrounding areas, we also supply and lay artificial grass as an alternative to turfing.
