After many projects are completed the final stage is turfing or grass seeding. Turfing creates an instant effect, transforms and brings to life the hard and soft landscaping, creating a lush green back drop.
Grass seeding may be used on larger areas where the budget may not allow for turfing or on areas of less importance or visual impact.
MDB Landscapes include turfing within general landscaping projects as well as providing lawns to a higher specification for clients requiring a higher quality end product. For higher specification lawns using rootzone soil mixes with bent and fescue grasses or normal grade turf we also cover the London area and down to the Hampshire coastal regions.
If you require advice on or maintaining your existing lawn or require a new lawn please contact us for this or any other landscaping enquiry.
Turfing of a large rear garden in Winchester, Hampshire. The final stage of this project was importation of topsoil and turfing. Poor drainage had to be dealt with first in both lawn areas.
Levels were reduced, land drainage installed, drainage layers used and finally approximately 60tn of topsoil was imported over the site to help raise levels. Areas were prepared prior to the re-turfing of both lawn areas over an approximate area of 450m².
Grass seeding was the final stage for this large private garden in Dippenhall, Surrey after other major construction had completed. Existing areas of poor soil were cleared, levels reduced, subsoil graded and contoured ready for new topsoil spread.
Approximately 400tn of topsoil was imported over the site to aid the establishment of the grass. Areas were prepped, topsoil graded out and consolidated prior to grass seeding.
