About our turfing service
When it comes to turfing in Leicester, we've always preferred laying real grass. Artificial turf has its place, but a proper lawn drains rainwater, stays cool underfoot in summer and gives wildlife somewhere to live. Plastic grass does none of that.
That said, real grass isn't for everyone. If you're not able to keep up with the mowing, or mobility makes garden upkeep difficult, artificial can be the sensible option. Same goes for heavy shade or gardens that just take a battering. We fit both and we'll tell you honestly which one makes more sense for your situation.
Not sure which is right for you? Compare with our artificial grass service, or get in touch and we'll give you an honest option.

Turfing: common questions
Browse the wider landscaping FAQs if you're after general planning & pricing questions.
Is turf better than artificial grass?
Turf and artificial grass suit different situations. Turf gives a natural lawn and is often preferred where customers want real grass, but it needs mowing, watering and maintenance. Artificial grass is lower maintenance and can work well in shaded, small or family gardens. The best choice depends on how you use the garden.
Do you prepare the ground before laying turf?
Yes, ground preparation is an important part of turfing. The area usually needs to be cleared, levelled and prepared properly before new turf is laid. Good preparation helps the turf root better, creates a smoother finish and gives the new lawn a better chance of establishing well.
How long before I can use a new lawn?
A new lawn usually needs time to root before it is used heavily. The exact timescale depends on the weather, soil conditions and how well the turf establishes. It is important to follow aftercare advice, including watering and avoiding heavy use too soon.
Can turfing be included in a full garden makeover?
Yes, turfing is often included as part of a full garden makeover. A new lawn can help soften the garden and create usable open space. It works well alongside patios, paths, planting, fencing and other landscaping features when the layout is planned properly.
