How Do We Perform the Turf Laying Service?
Laying turf is a technical job that involves a number of steps, techniques, tools, and skills. Let us give you a quick glimpse of what our turf-laying process looks like:
1. Site clearance
Our team always makes sure that the area where new grass will be laid is cleared and ready. This involves a thorough process where they remove everything from the ground – old turf, weeds, stones, debris, rocks, etc. It’s a critical step to prevent future issues and ensure the new turf has the best possible start.
2. Rotavating
In some cases, we use the rotavating technique to prepare the ground before laying turf. This method helps to aerate the soil, improve drainage, and make the ground easy to work with. Rotavating also helps in breaking up compacted soil, making it more receptive to the new turf roots.
3. Levelling
There must be no low or high spots on the surface. We adjust the extra topsoil or sand to fill out depressions. The objective is to ensure that there is no uneven patch. This step is vital for preventing water pooling and ensuring a smooth, visually appealing lawn surface.
4. Adding topsoil
Once the area is cleared and levelled, our landscapers add a layer of soil to create an optimal base for laying turf. This step is crucial for future turf growth, as it provides the necessary nutrients and a supportive environment for the roots to establish.
5. Turf laying
It’s time to lay the turf rolls with precision and care. We understand that laying turf is like painting a masterpiece, and we’re good at that. Each roll is placed closely to the next, ensuring there are no gaps and the turf has contact with the soil beneath for effective rooting.
6. Lawn edging
To enhance the overall look of your garden, our landscapers will meticulously trim and shape the edges to complement the surrounding elements. This not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also helps in defining the lawn boundary clearly.
7. Watering
The team ensures that your new turf is watered properly right after laying. We also share a lawn maintenance plan on how households can maintain their new turf, emphasizing the importance of regular watering, especially in the first few weeks.
The Areas We Cover Around London
PI Gardening operates in London and its surrounding areas: Richmond, Kingston, Brentford, Isleworth, Hammersmith, Ealing, Hounslow, Twickenham, and Teddington.
PI Gardening has an extensive track record of successful gardening, landscaping, and turfing projects across London. For example, one of our customers required a complete garden overhaul, including the installation of a new lawn and decking on their Hayes property.
The garden was in poor condition, with weeds, uneven ground, and a partially damaged patio. To enhance the appearance of the newly installed fence, we constructed a flower bed along its length and levelled the garden by installing a decking area behind the house and laying new turf.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as it depends on the weather conditions. However, some periods of the year are more favourable for laying turf than others. For example, mid-spring is probably an ideal time for laying turf as it provides productive conditions for growth.
It’s possible to lay turf at any time of the year, but it’s advisable to avoid frosty or wet conditions. This means that laying turf during the winter can be a challenge. However, it could still be possible depending on the severity of the winter in the UK.
Frozen ground can hinder plant growth, but it doesn’t have any significant long-term effects on the soil. Early autumn to early spring is generally a good time to lay turf. To learn more, read our blog about the best seasons for turf laying.
Having the right soil preparation is critical for a successful lawn, and it’s essential to ensure your turf laying process goes smoothly.
Before you lay any turf, make sure that you are amending the soil with organic matter such as compost or peat moss. This will help create a healthy environment for the new grass seedlings while also keeping weeds at bay.
Additionally, adjust your mowing frequency based on your specific climate and region – this can go a long way in helping keep weed control manageable over time.
All of these steps are important to consider when taking on any turf project, so be sure to prepare the ground before laying turf. Here is a step-by-step guide for turf laying preparation!
The cost of laying new turf depends largely on the size and shape of your lawn, as well as the type of grass you choose. Factors such as installation services, grading, drainage systems, irrigation systems, weed control and soil testing may also influence the price.
It’s important to consult a professional who can give you an accurate estimate based on your individual needs.
If laid properly, the new turf usually takes 6 weeks to establish its root system. However, it depends on several factors, including aeration frequency, soil nutrition, and weed control. Aerating allows air and water to penetrate more deeply into the soil, encouraging root growth which leads to thicker lawns in the long run. Here you can read more in our dedicated blog post!
If you have just installed new turf, you will need to water it frequently to ensure it takes root and thrives. For the first week, it is recommended to water it twice a day. After that, water it 2-3 times a week for the next 3-6 weeks. Once the turf is established, you can reduce watering to once a week.
To avoid any fungal growth or other issues, it’s best to water your turf well before noon. This allows the grass to dry off before the evening. During spring and autumn, the turf requires less water compared to the summer season.
Remember, overwatering your lawn can be harmful to its health, so it’s essential to find the right balance to ensure optimal watering.
