Turfing in St Albans, Hemel Hempstead and Hertfordshire | Located in the Watford Area
At Summertime Landscapes, we understand the importance of a lush green lawn that adds beauty and serenity to your outdoor space. Turfing provides a fast and effective way to achieve the garden of your dreams. A lawn acts as a garden centrepiece, drawing admiration from neighbouring homeowners and from those visiting your property. Similarly, if an older lawn has reached a point where renovating it wouldn’t make good economic sense, turfing will prove to be the easiest way to bring your garden back to its former glories.
Our landscaping company, located in Watford, can lay new turf for domestic customers in Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and all Hertfordshire areas.
Let's look at the world of turfing and our studious installation process:
The Pathway to a Stunning Lawn
Turf, also referred to as sod, is a pre-grown layer of grass carefully cultivated by our own network of local suppliers. Think of turf as a ready-to-use carpet for your garden, made up of healthy soil layers and fully grown grass. Turfing is a fantastic way to give your outdoor space an instant makeover without the wait that comes with seeding. With the right initial care, newly laid turf should establish quickly and keep its condition. We offer our full advice on turf care.
Turfing serves various purposes in landscaping. It transforms dull and patchy areas into vibrant green spaces suitable for various activities like playing, entertaining or simply relaxing. Moreover, a well-maintained lawn enhances the curb appeal of your home, thus increasing its aesthetic value.
Turf Types
At Summertime Landscapes, we can offer different types of turf to suit your preferences and the environment in which it will grow. From hardwearing turf that is ideal for active families with children and pets, to fine-textured turf that adds elegance to a garden, we have options that cater to every need. Our landscapers can guide you towards choosing the perfect turf type for your specific requirements. Turfing is best undertaken between autumn and spring.
We love turfing just as much as we love the reactions of our Watford, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans and Hertfordshire customers on completion of laying new sods. If you feel ready to revive your garden and want a natural focal point that integrates with beds, borders and planters, please contact us.
We very much look forward to helping you.
Achieving a Perfect Lawn
The turfing process is a careful and precise art our professional team excels in. Firstly, the area is prepared by clearing any debris, weeds and rocks. Then, a layer of nutrient-rich topsoil is spread across the surface to provide an ideal foundation for the turf. We only use top quality topsoil. Each roll of turf is then laid closely together to avoid gaps and overlaps, creating a seamless carpet of grass that, once established, will be ready for you and your family to enjoy.
Immediately after turfing, the proper care is crucial to establishment. Here are some important tips to help keep your new lawn in excellent condition:
Watering – Regular deep watering is essential during the initial weeks. Keep the soil consistently moist to help the roots integrate with the soil beneath.
Avoid Heavy Traffic – While the turf is establishing its root system, minimise foot traffic and other activities, like pet soiling, that could stress the grass.
Mowing – Wait until the turf has taken root before mowing. When you do start mowing, cut grass to the recommended height to promote healthy growth.
Fertilising – After a few weeks of healthy and sustained growth, applying a balanced fertiliser will encourage strong future growth and vibrant colour.
Weed Control – Keep an eye out for any weeds growing through your turfing and address them promptly to stop them from taking over your lawn.
Regular Maintenance – Once turf is established, follow regular maintenance routines like mowing, watering and fertilising based on the chosen turf type.
