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 Riseley
Locally tuned, not location-swapped.
Most of our turfing & artificial grass work in Riseley comes from the same kind of conversation - a family that's been in the house long enough to know what they want it to do, and a garden that hasn't quite kept up.
Riseley sits in a stretch where ground conditions vary plot to plot - we test what's underneath before we commit to a build-up, so the work suits the actual garden.

Common questions
What Riseley clients usually ask about turfing & artificial grass.
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.
Why does new turf yellow off after a few months?+
Almost always poor ground prep. Turf rolled onto compacted builder's ground or thin topsoil can't root properly and will yellow within a season. The fix is to lift it, cultivate or import 150mm of soil and re-lay onto something the roots can actually grow into.
How long does a turfed lawn take?+
Most jobs run two to four days - one to two days of soil prep, one day laying, half a day final levels and edging. Larger lawns scale linearly.
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.
