What we mean by turfing & artificial grass
The bit beneath the surface.
A turfed lawn lives or dies on what's beneath it. Roll cultivar turf onto unprepared builder's ground and you'll have a yellow lawn within a year. Spend an extra two days on soil prep and you'll have a lawn that holds up to dogs, children and August.
Soil prep first, turf second
Old turf or compacted ground lifted, soil cultivated or imported to 150mm, levelled and rolled - the boring work that decides the rest.
Cultivar matched to the garden
Hard-wearing rye blends for family lawns; finer fescue mixes for shaded or low-traffic plots. Specified to the conditions, not the brochure.
Laid properly, watered properly
Joints staggered, edges trimmed clean, watered in thoroughly with clear care notes for the first six weeks.
Why this works in Fleet
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Fleet turfing & artificial grass projects share a pattern. The houses are well-loved, the kitchens have usually been extended, and the garden is the part that's been waiting its turn.
Many newer Fleet gardens were left with thin topsoil over compacted builder's hardcore. We typically lift the top section, properly cultivate or import soil, and rebuild from there - the difference shows in a year or two.
- Thin topsoil, compacted ground - We strip the top section, cultivate or import 200mm of fresh soil, and rebuild the surface from there.
- Drainage on level estate plots - Flat sites mean water has nowhere obvious to go. We design falls, install perforated drains and size soakaways properly.
- Narrow side access - Mini diggers, barrowed materials and protected paths through shared driveways. We brief neighbours before the dig starts.

Common questions
What Fleet clients usually ask about turfing & artificial grass.
When can we walk on it?+
Light foot traffic from about two weeks; full use including children and dogs from six to eight weeks once it has rooted in. We give you written care notes.
Can we lay turf in winter?+
Yes - October through to March is the kinder window in many ways. Dormant turf establishes well, needs less watering, and is ready for spring use.
What about our shaded garden under mature trees?+
Shaded plots want a finer fescue-heavy mix and realistic expectations - no lawn thrives in heavy shade. We'll talk through whether turf, a different ground cover or a planted scheme is the right move.
Will you handle drainage and levels as part of the lawn?+
Yes - re-graded falls, soakaways and French drains where the plot needs them are all part of the turfing quote. A lawn on poorly drained ground will never thrive.
