Whether you need a quick lawn replacement or a complete landscaping package, we tailor our approach to your garden, site conditions and budget.
Residential Lawns
Transform your home garden with our premium quality turf. We provide family‑friendly lawns that are hard‑wearing, quick to establish and simple to maintain. Typical project: 50m² family lawn professionally installed in 1 day, including soil assessment and top soil where required.

Create impressive green spaces for offices, retail parks and public areas. Our commercial turf solutions use durable turf varieties selected for high traffic and low maintenance, plus efficient laying techniques to minimise disruption to your business. Case example: 300m² commercial frontage laid over two days with drainage improvements.

We supply and install specialist, hard‑wearing turf for sports pitches, school playing fields and recreational spaces. Our team advises on the best turf types for durability and performance, plus ground works to improve drainage and level surfaces for safe use.
Turfing Essex
Our local knowledge of Essex soil types and climate means we can recommend the ideal turf blend and soil improvements. We carry out full soil assessment, supply top soil where necessary, and offer drainage solutions for sloping or waterlogged areas. All turf laying is completed by our specialist team who focus on seamless joins, correct rolling and immediate aftercare advice.
Our turfing services include free site surveys, expert soil testing and tailored quotations. We work with both standard and premium turf varieties so you can choose the right balance of price and performance. For complex sites we provide clear timelines and a detailed quote so you know the expected time on site and final price before work begins.
Benefits of Professional Turfing
Choosing professional turfing for your Essex property delivers immediate, long‑term advantages that DIY approaches rarely match. Our expert turf installation and lawn care focus on quality, correct soil preparation and ongoing aftercare so your new lawn establishes quickly and remains healthy for years.
Instant Green Space
Turf provides an instant, usable lawn the day it is laid — ideal for families who want immediate outdoor space. This eliminates months of waiting compared with seeding and reduces the risk of patchy establishment.
Enhanced Property Value
A well‑laid, attractive lawn increases kerb appeal and can improve resale value. Our quality turf and professional finish create a neat, maintained look that appeals to buyers and visitors.
Expert Ground Preparation & Drainage
We assess soil conditions and, where required, add top soil, improve drainage or re‑grade surfaces to prevent waterlogging and uneven growth. Correct preparation is vital for long‑term lawn establishment and reduces maintenance time and cost.
Premium Turf Selection
We source turf varieties suited to Essex soil and climate for superior disease resistance and wear tolerance. Choosing the right turf mix means fewer repairs, less fertiliser and better overall lawn performance.
Professional Finish & Attention to Detail
Our specialist team achieves seamless joins, correct rolling and tidy edges for a flawless finish. Attention to detail at the laying stage saves time on future maintenance and ensures a durable, even lawn surface.
Practical Aftercare Guidance
We provide clear aftercare advice on watering, first mowing and seasonal lawn maintenance so your turf establishes successfully. Good aftercare reduces weed problems and promotes strong root development.

Our Complete Turfing Process in Essex
At Right Time Building Contractors we follow a clear, proven turfing process to ensure excellent results and customer satisfaction across Essex. From the initial site survey to final inspection, our specialist team focuses on correct ground preparation, professional turf laying and practical aftercare advice so your new lawn establishes quickly and thrives long term.
1. Free Survey & Assessment
We start with a free site survey and consultation to assess soil type, sunlight, drainage and access. During this visit our team discusses your needs and recommends the best turf options and any top soil or soil improvement required.
2. Ground Prep
Correct ground preparation is critical. We remove old turf and weeds, rotavate or cultivate the soil, add top soil or soil conditioner where needed, and re‑grade and compact the area for even drainage. For sloping or waterlogged sites we design drainage solutions to prevent future problems.
3. Professional Installation
We recommend turf blends based on foot traffic, shade and intended use and then proceed with professional turf laying. Our team ensures tight seams, correct alignment and thorough rolling to remove air pockets. We use quality turf proven for Essex conditions to reduce establishment time and maintenance.
4. Completion & Guarantee
Following installation we perform a final inspection and provide a tailored aftercare plan covering watering schedules, first mow timing and ongoing lawn maintenance. Our team is available for follow‑up support and any questions after completion.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Turfing in Essex
New Turfing Essex — What to expect
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.
