Droitwich has period houses in older streets and newer estates on its edges, and many of the gardens have generous lawns with mature trees and field hedges nearby. We turf, renovate, level, repair and edge lawns, and we fit artificial grass where a natural lawn is not the right answer.
Good results start underneath. We clear the old surface, deal with compaction and levels, and think about drainage before any turf or artificial grass is laid, so what you see on top rests on firm, even ground. If the existing lawn can be saved, we say so.
Older Droitwich homes often have lawns that have been mown, patched and walked on for a very long time, with a mix of grasses, weeds and uneven ground. Newer estates have the opposite problem, with thin topsoil, builders' leftovers just under the surface and turf laid too quickly. Reading the garden properly saves effort later, because the right fix depends entirely on which of these you have got.
Both need honest assessment. In an old lawn we may scarify and level it to save what is good. In a new-build garden we might strip the poor surface, remove the rubble, improve the ground and lay fresh turf that can actually root properly and stay healthy. Whichever route fits, the work is done by hand and with care so the finished lawn is even.
Parts of Droitwich sit near water, including the canals, and low-lying gardens can hold moisture long after rain. A lawn on ground like that turns soft and mossy, and it does not matter how good the turf is if the water has nowhere to go. That is also why we avoid laying anything over soil that is already waterlogged. Wet ground also needs time to firm up, so we plan the work around the state of the soil.
We look at how a garden drains before choosing the work. Sometimes levelling and opening up compacted soil is enough. In stubborn wet spots, artificial grass over a levelled, compacted base with edging and weed membrane can make a more usable surface than turf that keeps drowning. We explain the choice plainly so you can weigh it up against how you use the garden.
Large Droitwich gardens often have mature trees and field hedges at the boundary, which take light and water from nearby grass. We allow for this, and finish every lawn with cleanly cut edges along beds and paths. We also work in Bromsgrove and Stoke Prior, so ask if you are close. Edging also keeps beds and lawn from merging, which is a common problem in older gardens.

Usually it is a mix of compacted soil, low levels and shade, so water sits instead of draining. Scarifying helps with the moss, but the lasting fix is to improve levels and drainage, or switch part of the lawn to artificial grass.
Often the cause is thin topsoil or rubble below the turf. We strip the poor surface, clear the debris, prepare the ground properly and lay fresh turf, which gives the roots something to hold on to. We look at the levels and the soil before choosing.
No. We take on small front lawns and compact back gardens as well as large plots. The approach is the same: prepare the ground well, lay a good surface and finish with tidy edges so it looks right against paths and borders.
