What is involved in professional turfing and lawn replacement?

Professional turfing and lawn replacement typically involves removing the existing old lawn, preparing the soil by levelling, aeration, and improving drainage where needed, and laying fresh high-quality turf so it establishes quickly and grows healthily once installed.

How much does turfing a lawn usually cost in the UK?

In the UK, turfing varies by region. In Cheshire, lawn turf is about £3 per roll… but we also have to consider soil, fertiliser, drainage, groundworks and waste. So, costs vary from about £25 per square metre up to £75 including materials and labour for a basic lawn installation. Costs may vary based on garden size, ground preparation needs, turf quality, and any drainage or removal work required.

When should I choose lawn replacement instead of lawn repair?

Lawn replacement is recommended when the lawn is heavily infested with weeds or moss, has persistent bare or muddy patches, suffers from compaction or drainage problems, or is generally underperforming — in these cases professional replacement can be more cost-effective and long-lasting than ongoing repair attempts.
