Hall Green is where we are based, so we know the inter-war semis and bungalows with their long back gardens well. Lawns here are often generous but worn, with conifers and hedges along the boundary. We turf, repair, scarify, level, edge and fit artificial grass for homes right across the suburb.
We start with the ground. Clearing the old surface, easing out compaction and sorting levels and drainage takes care, but it is what decides whether a lawn looks good for a long time or only for the first few weeks.
A long Hall Green back garden gives plenty of space for a lawn, and also plenty of room for it to go wrong. The area near the house is trodden hard, the middle gets uneven, and the far end is often damp and mossy under overhanging growth. Each of those faults has a different cause, so one treatment across the whole lawn rarely works.
We take the garden in sections. The worn area near the patio may need lifting and relaying, the middle may only need scarifying and levelling, and the far end may need a drainage fix or a different surface. Treating each part on its needs avoids unnecessary work and cost. If you only want the worst of it fixed, we can do that and advise on the rest.
Leylandii and other conifers are common along Hall Green boundaries. They give privacy, but they take a great deal of water and light from the soil, and the lawn beside them thins out, dries out and turns patchy however often it is reseeded. Reseeding the same strip every spring just repeats the problem and wastes money on seed that never gets a chance to establish.
We are honest about this. Where the conditions are against grass, we suggest bringing the lawn edge away from the hedge, or using artificial grass laid over a compacted, levelled base with edging and weed membrane. In the sunnier part of the garden, good turf will do very well. Either way, the result is a lawn that looks planned, with a firm line between the grass and the hedge.
Because we work from Hall Green, we can see lawns quickly and talk the job through properly. We cut clean edges along beds, paths and patios and can fit edging to hold the shape. We also cover Acocks Green and Shirley, so tell us where in the area you are and what the lawn needs. Knowing the local streets and gardens helps us judge what will suit your lawn.

From our base in Hall Green we work across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and parts of Worcestershire. Choose your area.
Large hedges, especially conifers, take light and moisture from the soil, so grass beside them thins and dries out. Pulling the lawn edge back, repairing the ground or using artificial grass for that strip are the usual answers.
Yes. Many Hall Green homes need materials carried through the house or along a narrow path. We plan for that, protect the property, remove the old lawn the same way and lay the turf carefully by hand. The result is just as neat.
The principles are the same, but bungalow gardens are often fully visible from the windows, so the finish matters. We pay extra attention to levels, joins and edges so the lawn looks neat from inside as well as out.
