With over 30 years of landscaping experience, Green Onion Landscaping carries out careful lawn preparation, levelling and turf installation for modern garden designs, traditional family gardens and complete landscaping projects.

Professional Lawn Preparation & Ground Levelling

Good turfing always starts with proper preparation. Before any new lawn is laid, the existing area should be carefully prepared and levelled to help create a smooth, healthy and long-lasting finish.

Uneven ground, poor drainage and inadequate preparation can all cause problems later, which is why careful groundwork is an important part of achieving a successful new lawn.

Some gardens may require:

Removal of old lawns and weeds
Additional topsoil to improve levels
Ground levelling and grading
Improved drainage
Preparation for lawn edging and borders
Preparation following landscaping or building work

Every garden is different, and proper preparation helps ensure a much better and longer-lasting result.

New Lawns For Modern & Traditional Gardens

Natural grass lawns help soften a garden and create an attractive green space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. A professionally laid lawn works well in both contemporary garden designs and more traditional family gardens.

Green Onion Landscaping installs turf for:

Family gardens
Modern garden designs
Traditional lawns
New build properties
Garden renovation projects
Landscaped front and rear gardens
Smaller town gardens and larger lawned areas

Many clients choose turfing as part of a larger landscaping project including patios and paving, fencing, planting and garden redesign work.

Turfing Quotations & Garden Measurements

For smaller turfing projects, we can often provide a rough estimate if you send us the approximate square metre (m²) measurements of the area you would like turfing.

For a more accurate quotation, we normally need to visit the garden to properly measure the area, assess access and inspect the existing ground conditions.

During a site visit we can also check for:

Uneven ground levels
Poor drainage
Additional topsoil requirements
Access restrictions or obstructions
Removal of existing lawns
Additional landscaping work around the lawn area

Careful preparation and accurate measuring help ensure a much better and longer-lasting result.

When Is The Best Time To Lay Turf?

Turf can normally be laid during most times of year provided the ground is not frozen, heavily waterlogged or covered in frost.

Spring and autumn are often ideal because cooler temperatures and regular rainfall help new lawns establish naturally. Turf can also be laid during summer, although additional watering will usually be required during hot or dry weather.

Newly laid turf should be allowed time to settle and root properly before heavy use.

Avoid walking on newly laid turf until it has rooted properly
Keep the lawn watered during dry weather
Avoid mowing too early
Allow the lawn time to establish before heavy use

New Lawn Aftercare Advice

Correct aftercare is important for helping a newly laid lawn establish properly and remain healthy.

Water regularly during warm or dry periods
Keep the soil moist but avoid excessive overwatering
Wait until the grass reaches around 5cm before first mowing
Use a high mower setting for the first cut
Avoid heavy foot traffic during the first few weeks

A healthy natural lawn creates a beautiful outdoor area for relaxing, entertaining and family life. Real grass lawns also help soften modern garden designs and create a natural green space within the garden.

Once your new lawn is established, Green Onion Landscaping can also provide ongoing garden maintenance and lawn mowing services, including regular grass cutting, lawn edging, hedge trimming and seasonal garden tidy-ups throughout Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Darlington, Teesside, County Durham and North Yorkshire.

Turfing FAQs

How much does new turf cost?

The cost of a new lawn depends on the size of the area, the amount of ground preparation required, site access and whether additional topsoil or drainage work is needed. We provide free, no-obligation quotations for all turfing projects.

Can you lay turf in winter?

Yes. Turf can be laid throughout much of the year, including winter, provided the ground is not frozen, snow-covered or waterlogged. Although turf establishes more slowly during colder weather, it can still root successfully when conditions are suitable.

Can you lay turf over an existing lawn?

No. For the best results, existing grass and weeds should be removed before new turf is laid. This allows the ground to be properly prepared, helps the new turf establish strong roots and creates a healthier, longer-lasting lawn.

What type of turf do you install?

We can supply and install different grades of quality cultivated turf depending on your budget, how the lawn will be used and the finish you would like to achieve. We are happy to recommend the most suitable option for your garden.

How soon can children and pets use a new lawn?

It’s best to wait until the turf has rooted firmly into the soil before allowing regular foot traffic, children or pets onto the lawn. The exact time depends on the weather and growing conditions, but this usually takes a few weeks.

Do you only install turf as part of larger landscaping projects?

No. We carry out both standalone turfing projects and new lawn installation as part of complete garden landscaping projects across Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, Darlington, Teesside, County Durham and North Yorkshire.
