Where grass won’t grow
*
“Now, here on this ragged patch of earth called” a lawn..
Grass doesn’t grow well everywhere.. hence sometimes you have to come up with something different.
Here’s two patches near the house that barely got any sun.. landscaped to give a maintenance free area and of good appearance.
* Quote from 300. One of my favourites.. 🙂
Turfing gardens around Reading
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.
End of season garden maintenance
We’re in mid October and that is the end of season for your garden..
Nature is soon about to go for a winter sleep, like that hedgehog from a photo above.
Barbeques and all your garden furniture soon has to find it’s space in a garage or other storage to keep it away from destructive winter forces..
Apart from clearing leaves off your lawn you probably don’t think there’s anything else worth doing at the moment.
I actually think it is a very good time to have a closer look at your garden and see if there’s anything in need of repair or improvement.
What is it you should look at?
Assuming you have sorted out everything with regards to greenery in your garden like:
hedges and shrubs trimmed, perennials cut back, diseased plant/ branches removed, lawn mowed for the last time
You now have to look further..
- Check retaining brick walls for damage/loose/missing bricks
- Check and replace or improve your garden lawn edging
- Check loose/cracked/wobbly patio slabs and replace if neccessary
- Have a look at your fences in particular fence posts. Winter’s rather windy so before they get knocked down you might want to replace them
- Could be a good time to give your paths a good scrub if they are mossy – always better to prevent any slips and falls.
- Clear out compost bins if of course compost is ready
- Autumn’s the best time for transplanting and planting new shrubs / trees / evergreens / perennials giving them enough time to establish good root system
- Perfect time for lawn maintenance: moss and thatch removal, overseeding, lawn aeration
