Turfing for Tyldesley Gardens
If your Tyldesley lawn is more moss and bare patches than grass, re-turfing is usually quicker and better value than years of trying to nurse it back. We strip the old surface, cultivate and level the ground, add topsoil where it’s needed and lay fresh cultivated turf that roots in fast.
We cover Tyldesley and the surrounding area: Shakerley, Mosley Common, Gin Pit and beyond (M29).

What’s Included
Ground preparation matters even more around here. Much of Tyldesley sits on heavy ground, and on the newer estates the soil under the lawn was often compacted flat by site machinery before any turf went down. We sort what’s underneath first, because that’s what decides whether a lawn lasts.
- Full ground preparation: old lawn stripped, ground rotavated and levelled
- Screened topsoil supplied and graded to the right depth
- Fresh cultivated lawn turf, laid the day it’s delivered
- Failed new-build lawns dug out and relaid properly
- Edges trimmed cleanly around beds, paths and patios
- Clear watering and aftercare advice so the lawn takes
How It Works
Turfing in Tyldesley, FAQs
Give it two to three weeks before regular use, watering well in dry spells. We leave simple aftercare instructions. Follow them and the lawn knits into a solid surface you can’t lift at the corners.
Yes, levelling is part of every re-turf we do. We cultivate the ground, rake and firm it to an even finish, then lay the new turf. It’s the difference between a lawn and a field.
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.
