Last minute scarifying and overseeding in spring 2017

It’s the last call to do some scarifying and reseeding to improve your lawn. We have done it in this garden on top of some edging and turfing.
Please come back here to see more photos when grass starts to grow. It should not take more than two weeks in this weather. WATCH THIS SPACE !

Mar 30, 2016 | Landscaping

Landscaping of a front yard in Reading

Identified problems:

Lawn too high and growing into the pathways, pavements. Soil has built up over the years.
No proper border / edging between rose beds and lawn
Lawn difficult to mow / maintain.

What’s been done:

Removed old turf and excess soil and levelled all the area, returfed.
Edged all flower beds and tree with bricks
Cutting a lawn is now much easier thanks to all the edging

Turfing gardens around Reading

Jun 20, 2015 | Landscaping

Turfing gardens in Reading. We use top quality turf supplied by Warfield Turf services.

We either use:

a premium turf which has superior appearance.
or RTF turf which has some other benefits to it like; drought resistance, ability to withstand being waterlogged, better shade tolerance, also self repairing feature due to its rhizomatous growth

Before laying turf we prepare the ground in the best possible way. We rotovate, level, incorporate organic matter into existing soil to support new laid turf.

If you would like a turfing quote in Reading or surrounding areas please contact us

Have a look at the gallery below – Turfing gardens in Reading.

Below few photos from a front garden where we have done some brick edging and laid RTF turf. Last photo taken two weeks after job was completed. You can see how well RTF turf has established.

Thanks for watching.

Clearing and turfing. Another garden makeover.

Jul 25, 2014 | Landscaping

Another little gardening project in Lower Earley / Reading, which involved clearing and turfing of the back garden.

I tried to shoot some more photos this time, so please have a look and let me know what you think.

This garden has been landscaped before around 2002. Originally it used to be just lawn, then after 2002 it has seen the abundance of various features including some nice ornamental posts, wooden sculptures, water features and a decking which after more than 10 years has fallen apart.
I think every garden needs to have some open space which was missing here..
We have recreated it so hopefully all the grand children will be able to enjoy this garden more..
