Stourport-on-Severn sits where the canal basin meets the River Severn, and that water shapes the gardens. Ground close to the river can stay damp, willows drop fine leaves across lawns, and homes range from period houses to 20th century estates. We turf, renovate, edge and lay artificial grass, with drainage always in mind.
Whether your lawn has gone soft underfoot, mossy or uneven, or you simply want something that looks right from the kitchen window, we will talk through the options and explain plainly why we would choose one over another for your plot.
Riverside and canalside gardens around Stourport-on-Severn often have a high water table or soil that stays wet well into spring. Laying turf straight on to sodden, compacted ground is the quickest way to end up with a patchy lawn. The first step is working out where the water comes from, where it collects after rain and where it should be going instead.
Depending on what we find, that may mean lifting the old lawn, loosening the soil, adding a layer of free-draining material and levelling with a slight fall before any turf goes down. It is slower than rolling turf over what is already there, but it gives the new lawn a bed that does not hold water, and that is what keeps it healthy.
Mature willows and other riverside trees are one of the attractions of living in Stourport-on-Severn, but they leave a lot behind on a lawn. A thick mat of fine leaves and twigs in autumn blocks light and encourages moss, so lawns beneath them need clearing and scarifying more often than most, and the grass that survives is usually thin, pale and slow to recover in spring.
If your lawn is struggling under a tree, we can renovate it with scarifying and repair, or talk through artificial grass where shade and constant leaf fall make natural turf unrealistic. Either way we work gently around roots, because the tree matters more than any patch of grass, and we will tell you plainly if something is better left alone or cleared by a tree surgeon first.
A finished lawn in Stourport-on-Severn needs defined edges, especially along paths, patios and borders where grass creeps over. We cut crisp lines and can fit edging strips so the shape holds through the seasons. We also cover Kidderminster and Bewdley, so if you are nearby and want your lawn tidied or reshaped, ask us to take a look.

Often yes, but the ground has to be dealt with first. We look at drainage, levels and soil, and may add a free-draining layer. If the garden regularly sits under standing water, artificial grass on a properly built base may be more reliable than turf.
Moss thrives where ground is damp, shaded and compacted. Scarifying removes it, but it returns unless you improve light, drainage and soil structure. We look at the cause, then repair the lawn so grass has a better chance than moss.
It can be a practical choice where turf will not cope with wet or shade. The base must drain well and be laid on a firm, level foundation with a weed membrane. We check how water moves through your garden before recommending it.
