FAQs

How much does turfing cost in Essex?

Typical turfing prices in Essex range from approximately £15–£25 per square metre, depending on the size of the area, ground preparation, turf quality and site access. We provide a free site survey and a written quote so you can see the full price breakdown — contact us by phone or email for a tailored quote.

How long does it take to lay turf?

Time depends on area and complexity. For an average domestic lawn (50–70 m²) turf laying and preparation typically take 1–2 days. Smaller lawns can often be completed in a day; larger or more complex jobs (drainage, slopes) may take longer. We include a clear timeframe in your quote so you know how long our team will be on site.

What type of turf is best for my garden?

The best turf depends on use and conditions. For family lawns with regular foot traffic we often recommend a hard‑wearing ryegrass mix; shaded gardens benefit from shade‑tolerant blends and ornamental lawns suit fine fescue mixes. During our site survey we assess soil, light and intended use to recommend the most suitable turf variety for your lawn.

Do you provide turfing for commercial properties?

Yes — we supply and install turf for commercial sites across Essex including offices, retail frontages, schools and sports facilities. Our commercial turfing focuses on durability and low maintenance; we can work outside peak business hours and offer maintenance packages if required. Email us for a commercial project consultation.

How should I care for newly laid turf?

Good aftercare is vital. Water thoroughly immediately after laying and continue daily watering for the first 2–3 weeks (weather dependent). Avoid walking on the turf for 2–3 weeks. The first mow is recommended when grass reaches 5–7cm, cutting no more than one‑third of blade height. We provide a bespoke aftercare schedule with your quote.

What maintenance does my new lawn need in the first year?

In the first year expect regular watering during dry spells, light feeding after 6–8 weeks with a starter fertiliser, and regular mowing once established. Scarifying and aeration are usually only needed after the first year unless your soil requires it. We give seasonal lawn care tips to help your turf establish well during its first year.

Do you provide free turfing quotes in Basildon and Essex?
