“Our turfing service is designed to give you a fresh, high-quality lawn from the ground up, delivering an instant transformation with long-term results.”

Turf Laying in Medway

A new lawn can completely transform the appearance of a garden, giving you an attractive, usable outdoor space without waiting for grass seed to establish.

Whether your existing lawn has become patchy and worn, you are renovating an overgrown garden or you need a completely new lawn as part of a wider garden project, we provide professional turf laying across Medway and the surrounding areas.

The quality of a newly laid lawn depends just as much on the preparation underneath it as the turf itself. That is why we can manage the process from start to finish, including clearing the existing area, preparing and levelling the ground, improving the soil where required and laying quality turf carefully to create an even finish.

Turf services we provide

Our turfing service can cover everything required to create a new lawn, whether we are replacing an existing grass area or starting from bare ground.

New lawn installation

If you are creating a lawn from scratch, we can prepare the area and lay fresh turf to provide an immediate transformation.

We will assess the existing ground before work begins and consider factors such as soil condition, levels, drainage and how the lawn will be used.

Correct preparation gives the turf the best possible foundation to establish strong roots and develop into a healthy lawn.

Replacing an old or damaged lawn

Lawns can become tired, uneven or badly damaged over time due to heavy use, drought, pets, poor drainage, weeds or years of inconsistent maintenance.

Where the existing lawn is beyond practical renovation, removing it and starting again can sometimes produce a better long-term result.

We can remove the old grass, prepare the ground and install a new lawn, giving the garden a much cleaner and more uniform appearance.

Ground clearance and preparation

Good preparation is one of the most important stages of turf laying.

Before installing new turf, the area may need to be cleared of existing grass, weeds, stones, roots or unwanted vegetation.

Once cleared, we can prepare the soil so that the new turf has a suitable growing environment rather than simply laying grass on top of an unsuitable surface.

Taking the time to prepare the ground properly can make a significant difference to how evenly the turf establishes and how well the lawn performs in the future.

Ground levelling

Uneven ground can affect both the appearance and usability of a lawn.

Before turf is laid, we can level and prepare the area to create a smoother surface and remove obvious dips, bumps and uneven areas.

Careful levelling also makes future mowing easier and helps create a more professional finished result.

Where there are more substantial level or drainage issues, we will assess these before work begins and explain what preparation may be required.

Topsoil and soil improvement

The condition of the soil underneath a lawn has a major influence on its long-term health.

Where required, we can supply and incorporate suitable quality topsoil to improve the growing environment before turf is installed.

Improving poor or shallow soil gives new turf better access to moisture and nutrients while allowing its roots to establish more effectively.

We will assess the existing soil first rather than automatically adding materials that may not be needed.

Quality turf supply and installation

We use quality turf selected to create a practical and attractive domestic lawn.

Turf needs to be laid promptly and correctly once delivered, with the rolls positioned closely together and the joints staggered to achieve an even finish.

Once installed, the turf is carefully settled onto the prepared soil and watered so that root establishment can begin.

We will also explain how the finished lawn should be cared for during the important first few weeks.

Turfing awkward or smaller areas

Not every new lawn is a large rectangular space.

We can install turf in smaller gardens and around borders, pathways, patios and other established garden features.

Careful measuring, cutting and positioning allows the new lawn to follow the shape of the existing garden while creating clean, defined edges.

Lawn edging and finishing

The edges of a new lawn play an important part in the finished appearance.

We can create neat edges around borders, paths and other garden features while laying the turf, helping the new lawn sit naturally within the wider garden.

A properly finished edge can also make ongoing mowing and maintenance easier once the lawn has established.

Top dressing and seeding

Not every lawn requires complete replacement.

Where the existing grass is still recoverable, top dressing, overseeding and other lawn improvement work may provide a more appropriate solution than laying completely new turf.

We can assess the condition of your existing lawn and explain whether renovation or replacement is likely to provide the best result.

This means we will not recommend a new lawn simply because turfing is one of the services we provide.

Aftercare for newly laid turf

The first few weeks after installation are particularly important for a new lawn.

Freshly laid turf needs consistent watering while the roots establish into the soil below. It should also be protected from unnecessary foot traffic during this period.

We will provide practical guidance on watering, when the lawn can first be walked on and when it is ready for its first cut.

Once established, the lawn can then move onto a normal maintenance routine.

Ongoing lawn maintenance

If you would prefer us to continue caring for your new lawn after installation, we can also provide ongoing lawn maintenance.

This can include regular mowing, edging and seasonal lawn care to help keep the grass healthy once it has established.

Our lawn maintenance service can be arranged separately depending on your garden and how much ongoing help you require.

Professional turf laying in Medway

From initial ground clearance through to preparing the soil and installing the finished turf, we can manage the full process required to create a new lawn.

If your existing lawn needs replacing or you are creating a lawn as part of a wider garden project, get in touch with 4 All Seasons and send us some photographs of the area. We can assess the garden, discuss what you want to achieve and advise on the most appropriate next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to lay new turf in the UK?

The cost of laying new turf depends on the size of the area, the condition of the existing ground, and the level of preparation required. A simple re-turf will cost less than a full ground-up installation with levelling and soil improvement.

We provide tailored quotes based on your garden, ensuring everything is done properly from the ground up. If you send over a few photos, we can give you a clear idea of costs and the best way forward.

When is the best time to lay turf?

Turf can be laid at most times of the year, but spring and autumn are generally ideal due to milder temperatures and consistent moisture. That said, with proper preparation and watering, turf can establish successfully outside these periods too.

We’ll advise you on the best timing for your garden and ensure everything is installed in the right conditions to give your new lawn the strongest start.

How long does new turf take to establish?

New turf typically starts to establish within 2 to 3 weeks, with roots beginning to take hold in the soil. Full establishment can take a bit longer depending on weather conditions and aftercare.

We provide clear guidance on watering, mowing, and general care so your lawn establishes quickly and evenly. Getting the first few weeks right makes a big difference to the long-term result.

Do you prepare the ground before laying turf?

Yes, proper ground preparation is one of the most important parts of a successful turfing project. This includes clearing the area, improving the soil, levelling the surface, and ensuring good drainage.

We handle the entire process from start to finish, so you don’t have to worry about anything being missed. A well-prepared base ensures your new lawn looks better and lasts longer.

Can you lay turf over an existing lawn?

In most cases, it’s not recommended to lay turf directly over an existing lawn, as this can lead to poor rooting and uneven results. Removing the old lawn and preparing the soil properly gives a much better finish.

We’ll assess your current lawn and advise on the best approach, ensuring the new turf has the right foundation to thrive.

How do I look after new turf after it’s laid?

Aftercare is key to helping your new lawn establish. Regular watering, especially in the first couple of weeks, is essential. You’ll also need to avoid heavy use until the roots are firmly established.

We provide simple, practical advice tailored to your garden so you know exactly what to do. If needed, we can also return to carry out ongoing lawn care and keep your new lawn looking its best.
