Turfing · Chelmsford & Essex

Turfing and lawn installation

We lay new turf in Chelmsford and across Essex for lawns, verges, communal areas and landscaping projects. Good turfing starts with the preparation: old grass and weeds removed, the ground levelled and raked to a fine tilth, then the turf rolls laid tight with staggered joints and watered in.

Watering-in and aftercare advice

New turf needs regular watering for the first few weeks and should be kept off until it has rooted. We will give you simple aftercare guidance when the job is done. Get in touch to discuss your lawn or turfing job.

Grounds maintenance FAQs

What does grounds maintenance include?

It can include grass cutting, strimming, hedge cutting, shrub and border maintenance, leaf clearance, litter picking, weed control and general site tidying. We agree a scope of work that suits your site and budget.

Do you offer regular maintenance contracts?

Yes. We can visit on a regular schedule agreed with you, or carry out one-off and seasonal work such as clearances and autumn tidy-ups.

What types of sites do you maintain?

We look after commercial premises, industrial estates, offices, housing developments and communal areas, schools, churches, and larger private gardens and properties across Essex.

Can you combine grounds maintenance with weed spraying?

Yes. Combining grass cutting and general grounds care with weed spraying of paths, car parks and hard surfaces is an efficient way to keep a whole site looking cared for.

Do you lay new turf?

Yes. We prepare the ground — removing old grass and weeds, levelling and raking — then lay new turf and water it in. We will give you aftercare advice, as new turf needs regular watering for the first few weeks and should be kept off until it has rooted.

Can you cut large areas such as playing fields and parkland?

Yes. We use ride-on mowers, including a flail deck for longer grass and an out-front mower for a striped finish, so large areas such as playing fields, parkland and amenity grass can be cut efficiently.

Can you clear an overgrown site?

Yes. For heavily overgrown land we can combine manual clearance with our digger and driver hire service for removing roots, stumps and rubble.

Other services from South East Services

Many jobs need more than one trade. We can combine services on one visit to save you time.
