Turf & Lawn Care

Healthy, green lawns from the ground up

A good lawn is still at the heart of many gardens. At ADC Landscape and Garden Maintenance Contractors, we provide a full turf supply and installation service, along with ongoing lawn care and renovation to keep your grass looking its best.

Whether you need a completely new lawn, to repair a tired patchy one, or regular treatments to keep it thick and healthy, we can help.

If your existing lawn is beyond saving, or you’re creating a garden from scratch, we can supply and lay quality turf on properly prepared ground.

Our turfing service typically includes:

• Site clearance – removing old turf, weeds and unwanted surfaces
• Ground preparation – levelling, rotovating and improving the soil where needed
• Correct levels and falls – making sure water drains away from buildings and doesn’t form puddles
• Topsoil (if required) – adding or redistributing soil for a better growing medium
• Turf laying – carefully laid in staggered joints, rolled and firmed for good root contact
• Edging and shaping – neat edges to paths, patios, borders and garden buildings

We’ll also talk you through watering and aftercare so your new lawn establishes quickly.

Not every lawn needs to be completely replaced. We can often improve things with targeted repairs, such as:

• Cutting out damaged or worn patches and re-turfing just those areas
• Repairing edges along paths and flower beds
• Levelling small dips and hollows to make mowing easier and reduce puddling

This is ideal if most of your lawn is fine but there are a few problem spots letting it down.

If your lawn is thin, mossy or full of weeds, a structured renovation can make a big difference.

Depending on what your lawn needs, we can provide:

• Scarifying – to remove thatch and moss and allow grass to breathe
• Aeration – spiking or hollow-tining to relieve compaction and improve drainage
• Overseeding – applying new seed to thicken up the sward
• Top-dressing – levelling minor imperfections and improving the soil structure
• Weed and moss treatments (where requested) – to tackle the main issues

We’ll always be honest about what’s realistic, and if a full re-turf might actually be better value than repeated treatments.

If you’re struggling with any of these, we’re happy to take a look:

• Waterlogged or boggy lawns
• Lawns on steep slopes that are hard to cut
• Shaded lawns under trees or next to buildings
• Areas damaged by pets, children or heavy use

Sometimes the answer is lawn improvement; sometimes it might be better to combine turf with paths, patios, artificial grass or planting. We’ll explain the options so you can choose what suits you best.

A new or renovated lawn needs a bit of care to get established. We’ll always provide clear, simple guidance on:

• Watering – how often and how much, depending on the weather
• First cuts – when to mow for the first time and at what height
• Traffic – how long to keep pets and heavy use off the lawn
• Ongoing maintenance – how to keep it healthy and looking good

If you’d rather not worry about any of that, we can build follow-up visits into the plan.
