Professional Turfing & Artificial Grass Installation In Norwood

Two things make lawns difficult in Norwood, and neither of them is the grass. The first is the gradient, since gardens running off the ridge at Upper Norwood and Central Hill often fall steeply enough that water sheets straight down the slope, washing seed and soil to the bottom fence and leaving the top half thin and patchy. The second is the tree canopy, which is unusually heavy here, and most turf simply will not thrive under mature limes and sycamores no matter how well it is laid. So before we quote we look at where the water goes, how many hours of direct sun the lawn actually gets, and whether the London clay underneath is compacted enough to need breaking up and improving. Sometimes that leads to a shade-tolerant turf variety and a proper soil conditioning programme, and sometimes it leads to us telling you honestly that artificial grass is the sensible answer for that particular spot. Either way you get the reasoning, a specification suited to your garden rather than a standard one, and a fixed written price. Being based on Ellery Road, we can come and look before quoting rather than guessing from photos.
