Turf Laying Service
Laying a new lawn in your garden is a good way to soften hard landscaping features in the garden, reduce maintenance and is great for children and pets to use. Laying a lawn from turf is a quick and affordable way to get an instant result in your garden and can be used within a few days rather than if installing a new lawn from seed, which can take a weeks to germinate and become established.
Although it is quicker to lay, the key to ensuring your new lawn thrives long term, is all in the preparation of the soil before laying the turf or for sowing seed. It is advisable to excavate a minimum of 2-3 inches which will remove weed roots from the current lawn area, cultivate the soil and level before installing topsoil to the area which will be levelled and compacted and then raked to fine tilth before the turf or seed is laid.
It is best to lay the turf in mid-Autumn, but it can be laid anytime of the year as long as its not too wet or too cold, if laid in the spring/summer months then the newly laid turf will need daily watering throughout the spring/summer months. Seed is best done late spring/summer months when the ground starts to warm up allowing the seed to germinate.
A lawn made from turf will cost more than a lawn made from seed but turf will give you instant effect and quicker usability.

Artificial Turf Laying Service
Alternatively, its not always possible to have real turf, whether that’s due to work commitments, poor turf growing conditions, or the family dog is digging up the lawn, then Artificial Turf may be the solution for your family needs.
Artificial grass can also be used for balcony’s, terraces or even patios so it doesn’t matter how small your garden is you can still have a garden with a little bit turf and enjoy it all year round with a minimum amount of maintenance. Artificial turf is child and pet friendly, you don’t have to water it or mow it and you don’t have any pollen so perfect for those that suffer with hay fever.
Artificial turf is best laid over a new sub base as this will ensure the turf doesn’t sink or move and a grit sand layer is installed for cushioning.

Some Feedback on Our Garden Design Services
We recently used Ariana Landscapes for our back garden design and landscaping. Victoria came to visit us initially and produced a detailed plan which she sent us in 3D so we could visualise exactly what it would look like. The plan allowed us to get really excited about what was to come! The team that came to do the work were lovely, friendly and worked very hard. The end result is better than we could have hoped for. Thanks so much to all the team for giving us a beautiful garden to enjoy with our young family, we will be recommending your business to everyone we know!
