Homes in Dalkeith

The stone-built houses in the old centre of Dalkeith and the twentieth-century and newer homes around them come with quite different gardens. If the lawn you want to replace is at the front and has a path or paving beside it, it is worth deciding on both at once, because the edge where grass meets paving is part of how the finished garden looks. Next to this text is a photo of front garden paving and planters we finished. Its subject is paving, not turf, but it shows the patio and paving side of our work, which can be planned with new turf so the whole front garden is looked at together.

What matters for turfing in Dalkeith

Turfing in Dalkeith comes down first to how much new lawn you want and whether anything around it, such as paving, is changing as well. Once that is clear, our part is laying the turf and finishing the lawn. Your part comes afterwards: watering it regularly over the first few weeks so the roots can take hold. We hold full insurance for this work.

  • Note whether the turf is going in at the front, the back or both.
  • Say if a patio or paving near the lawn needs a refresh, as we do that work too.
  • Let us know how the garden is reached, for example by a side gate or only through the house.
  • Our team puts the new turf down and finishes the lawn surface.
  • Water the lawn regularly through its first few weeks so it can root.
