NEW LAWN IN WICKFORD
A Fresh Natural Lawn for Your Garden
A new lawn is created where there is not currently a suitable established lawn — for example, after a garden has been redesigned, following building or landscaping work, or where an unused area of the garden is being turned into lawn. The process starts from the ground up: clearing, preparing the soil, levelling, and laying fresh natural turf.
We install new lawns for residential gardens across Wickford and South Essex. The ground is prepared to suit the soil and drainage, the lawn is shaped to fit the garden layout, and the turf is laid with staggered joints and firm contact with the soil so the roots establish quickly.
On a free site visit we assess the garden, the soil, the shade and the intended use of the lawn, talk through the options, and provide a clear written quotation covering preparation and installation.
CREATING A NEW LAWN
What Does a New Lawn Installation Include?
A new lawn installation includes ground clearance where required, soil and growing-layer preparation, levelling, and laying fresh natural turf. Where the existing surface is unsuitable — for example, bare soil, rubble, or weeds — it is cleared before the soil is prepared.
The soil is assessed for quality and drainage. Where the growing layer is thin or compacted, it is improved before the turf goes down. The ground is then levelled to give even drainage and a smooth finish, and edging is installed or refreshed where the lawn meets patios, paths or borders.
This differs from turf replacement, which focuses on removing and replacing an existing unsuitable lawn. A new lawn is about creating a lawn where there is not currently one, or where the garden has been re-landscaped and the lawn is part of the new layout.
SUITABILITY
When a New Lawn Is a Good Choice
OPTIONS
New Lawn Options
There are choices when creating a new lawn. The right combination depends on the garden, the soil, the drainage and how the lawn will be used.
Lawn Size and Shape
The lawn is designed to fit the garden layout, with the shape worked out around patios, paths, borders and seating areas.
Soil Preparation
The growing layer is assessed and improved where needed, so the new turf has a good base to establish into.
Ground Levelling
Levels are set to ensure even drainage and a smooth, usable surface.
Drainage Considerations
Drainage is assessed as part of the preparation, particularly in gardens prone to waterlogging.
Lawn Edging
Edging installed where the lawn meets patios, paths or borders to give a clean, defined edge.
Connections to Garden Features
The lawn is integrated with patios, paths, fencing and borders as part of the wider garden layout.
