Homes in Kirkcaldy

Kirkcaldy sits on the Firth of Forth, and its streets mix sandstone Victorian villas and tenements with later housing. Each of those gives a different starting point for a lawn: the garden of a villa, a patch of ground behind a tenement, or the plot around a newer home. Kirkcaldy is within the area where we are based. The photo on this page shows a finished garden transformation by us. It is not a picture of turfing, but it shows the kind of wider garden work a new lawn can be part of.

What matters for turfing in Kirkcaldy

Turfing in Kirkcaldy starts with a simple decision: what else in the garden is changing? Settle that first, so the new lawn can be planned around it rather than dug up again later. On the job we lay the turf and give the lawn its finish. After that it is in your hands, as new turf needs regular watering for the first few weeks while it roots. We are fully insured and a registered waste carrier.

  • Work out roughly how big the area is and what covers it now: old grass, bare soil or a mix.
  • Tell us about any other landscaping you want done at the same time.
  • We lay the new turf, then finish the lawn so it is ready to grow in.
  • Keep the turf watered regularly through its first few weeks so it roots.

Questions about turfing in Kirkcaldy

Can new turf be part of a bigger garden makeover?

Yes. Turfing sits within our hard and soft landscaping and property maintenance work, so a new lawn can be planned alongside other changes to the garden. Put everything you have in mind into a single enquiry.

How much looking after does a new lawn need?

For the first few weeks it needs regular watering while it roots. If you are away for part of that time, or the weather turns dry, arrange for someone to water it.
