Returfing is one of the quickest and most effective ways to transform a tired, patchy lawn into a vibrant, lush green space. Here’s why choosing professional lawn returfing makes sense:
Instant Transformation — Unlike seeding, returfing provides an instant, flawless lawn that you can enjoy right away.
Weed-Free, Even Surface — Professionally laid turf ensures a smooth, level lawn with fewer weeds and bare patches.
Improved Drainage and Soil Health — Proper ground preparation during returfing enhances soil quality and drainage, helping your lawn thrive.
Enhanced Curb Appeal — A fresh, healthy lawn instantly boosts the look and value of your property.
Reduced Maintenance — Newly laid turf establishes quickly, meaning less watering, feeding, and upkeep compared to starting from seed.
Year-Round Usability — Enjoy a resilient, robust lawn that stands up to weather and foot traffic through all seasons.
At Pristine Homes, we follow a thorough and professional approach to ensure your new lawn is perfect from day one:
1.Initial Consultation and Site Assessment
We visit your property to evaluate the existing lawn condition, soil quality, and drainage, and discuss your preferences and requirements.
2.Ground Preparation
The old turf or grass is carefully removed. We then cultivate and level the soil, removing stones and debris to create the perfect base for your new turf.
3.Soil Improvement (if needed)
We may add topsoil, compost, or fertiliser to enrich the ground and encourage healthy root growth.
4.Turf Selection
We help you choose the best type of turf for your garden’s sunlight, soil, and usage patterns, ensuring durability and a lush finish.
5.Expert Turf Installation
Our skilled team lays the turf rolls tightly and evenly, cutting to fit the garden shape and ensuring good soil contact to promote quick rooting.
6.Aftercare Advice
We provide clear guidance on watering, feeding, and general lawn care to help your new turf establish quickly and stay healthy.
Typically, new turf takes about 2 to 3 weeks to root properly, but it’s best to avoid heavy foot traffic for 4 to 6 weeks to allow it to fully establish.
While turf can be laid throughout most of the year, the best results are usually achieved during spring and autumn when the weather is mild and rainfall helps with establishment.
Yes, thorough ground preparation is a crucial part of our process. We remove old grass, debris, and level the soil to ensure your new lawn grows evenly and healthily.
New turf should be watered daily for the first two weeks, ensuring the soil stays moist but not waterlogged. After it has established, watering can be reduced to suit the weather.
