Turfing for Hindley Gardens
A lot of Hindley lawns are simply old, decades of compaction, moss and thatch that no amount of feed will fix. When a lawn is more moss than grass, stripping it out and re-turfing over properly prepared ground is quicker and cheaper than years of patch-up treatments.
We cover Hindley and the surrounding area: Hindley Green, Castle Hill, Amberswood, Lowe Mill, Ladies Lane and beyond (WN2).

What’s Included
Preparation is where the job is won. We take off the old surface, relieve the compaction, level with fresh topsoil where it’s needed and lay cultivated turf tight and true. In gardens near the woodland on the north side of town we’ll also talk honestly about shade. Sometimes the right answer is a shade-tolerant approach or a different surface entirely, and we’ll say so before you spend.

- Fresh cultivated lawn turf, laid the day it’s delivered

How It Works
Turfing in Hindley, FAQs
Often, yes. Moss takes over when ground is compacted, damp or shaded. Re-turfing lets us fix the ground underneath at the same time, otherwise the moss simply comes back into the new grass.
Yes, old turf, spoil and debris all leave with us. You’re left with a finished lawn and aftercare advice, not a pile in the corner.
You’ll see turf quoted online at so much per square metre, but that’s just for the turf itself. The real price depends on the size of the lawn and how much ground work is needed. A simple returfing job over decent soil costs a lot less than digging out a failed lawn and importing topsoil. We quote per job after a free site visit, so you get an exact written price before anything starts.
Spring and autumn are ideal, because the ground is warm and there’s usually enough rain to help the turf root. That said, turf can be laid most of the year as long as the ground isn’t frozen. Summer laying is fine too. It just needs a strict watering routine while it establishes.
Keep off it for around three weeks, until the roots have knitted into the soil. A gentle tug on a corner tells you. If it lifts, it needs longer. If it holds firm, it’s rooted. The first cut comes once it’s established, with the mower on a high setting.
