Turf Installation

One easy approach to have a lawn right away is to lay turf. It works well when you need a useable lawn fast or can't be away from the lawn for an extended period of time. Because you may utilise a lawn a few weeks after it is laid, it's frequently a fantastic choice if you have kids or pets. Although mid-autumn is the ideal time to lay turf, it can be done at any time between that time and early spring as long as the soil isn't too wet or frozen.

Hedge Trimming, Reduction & Removal

Maintaining hedges through sculpting, decreasing, or eliminating them altogether is known as hedge trimming, reduction, and removal. In order to preserve a hedge's structure and promote stronger growth, trimming involves pruning down the top and sides. Reduction is the process of cutting a hedge smaller, either in height or width. Removing a hedge requires chopping it down altogether and pulling out its roots.

Top Soil & Mulching

Bark & Chippings

Bark offers a softened surface that lowers the possibility of injuries caused by falls, particularly near equipment on playgrounds. Play bark is also an affordable, environmentally responsible, and natural way to preserve soil moisture, control weeds, and covering surfaces. In addition to preventing weeds, the stones also promote drainage, retain moisture, and improve garden appearance. In addition, they offer a low-maintenance alternative to grass or normal mulch.
