Redditch was planned as a new town, and its estates have open green space, landscaped roads and plenty of hedges and planted trees. Gardens here are often open to the street, so the front lawn is on show as much as the back. We provide turfing, lawn renovation, scarifying, levelling, artificial grass and edging.
A visible lawn needs to look consistent, and patches show up quickly. We aim for an even, level finish that blends with the neighbours' gardens, whether we are repairing a worn area, relaying a front lawn or building a completely new surface from bare ground.
On open-plan estates, the front lawn is part of the street scene. Dog walkers cut corners, bins get dragged across it and edges crumble. We repair damaged corners, relay worn strips and cut back neat, straight edges so the lawn looks tidy from the road. A good edge does most of the work in making a front garden look cared for. It is a small job with a noticeable payoff for the Redditch streets where lawns face the road.
Where the grass has thinned, we scarify, re-seed and top-dress. If the ground has sunk along the pavement or around old service trenches, we lift the turf, level the soil underneath and relay it flush. It is a simple repair that often makes a bigger difference than people expect. Where hedges border the lawn, we cut back to the line so mowing is straightforward.
For a complete new lawn we remove the old surface, deal with weeds and compacted soil, and rake a fine, level seedbed. Turf follows, tightly laid and trimmed to the borders. The preparation is the part you will not see, but it decides whether the lawn looks good in a month or a few seasons from now. Redditch soils vary from estate to estate, so we adapt the groundwork to what we find.
Some Redditch households would rather not mow at all, and artificial grass answers that. We build a compacted, levelled base, fix edging, add a weed membrane and lay the grass with drainage in mind. It tends to suit back gardens with shade, and areas where children play, far better than a lawn that never quite recovers. It is dependable all year, and the edges stay crisp with almost no effort.
Edging keeps both new and old lawns looking sharp, and it saves on trimming. We can cut a clean spade edge or fit a firm strip. We also cover Bromsgrove, Alvechurch and Studley, so if you are in or around Redditch and want the lawn sorted, get in touch. A sharp border also makes the whole frontage look better kept.

Usually, yes. We cut out damaged sections, fix the levels underneath and lay fresh turf to match, then tidy the edges. Only badly weed-ridden lawns need replacing completely, and we will tell you if that is the case.
Edges sink where soil has settled or been compacted by regular foot traffic or past trench work. We lift the turf, bring the soil up to level, firm it down and relay the grass so the lawn sits flush with the path.
It can be, especially where shade, children or pets make a natural lawn hard to keep. It needs a properly prepared base and drainage to look good, so we do that groundwork carefully before the grass goes on.
