Turfing for Worsley Gardens
A big Worsley lawn is a statement when it’s right and an eyesore when it’s not. We re-turf tired lawns properly: strip the old surface, sort the levels and compaction underneath, add screened topsoil and lay fresh cultivated turf that roots in fast.
We cover Worsley and the surrounding area: Worsley Village, Roe Green, Broadoak Park, Hazelhurst, Alder Forest and beyond (M28).

- 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 Worsley, FAQs
Yes, bigger lawns are mostly a matter of proper ground preparation and laying the turf fresh the day it arrives. A typical large re-turf takes two to three days including the strip-out.
Only if the cause is dealt with too. We look at shade, drainage and compaction first, sometimes the answer is turf plus crown thinning of the tree above, so light actually reaches the grass.
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.
