Lawn Turf in Ashton-under-Lyne

A new turf lawn is one of the commonest jobs we do around Ashton-under-Lyne, especially on the inter-war semis in Smallshaw and the estates off the Moss where the old lawn has thinned down to moss and bare patches. We cut premium lawn turf to order at £4 per m2 and get it to OL6 and OL7 next-day, so it goes down fresh instead of sitting rolled up in a hot yard.

The terrace gardens around Waterloo and Hurst are usually small and boxed in by walls, so they lose a lot of light. Turf needs decent light to thrive, so if your plot is heavily shaded, ask us before ordering and we will be straight with you about whether it will take. On the bigger open semis the same turf does a hard-wearing family lawn or a fine, showpiece finish. If you would rather leave the graft, ask for supply-and-lay when you order, ground prep included.

We deliver across Ashton-under-Lyne and the surrounding area: Waterloo, Hurst, Smallshaw, Ashton Moss and beyond (OL6, OL7).

Turf is cut to order, so it comes next-day rather than off a shelf. Get your order in and we will have it on the wagon to OL6 or OL7 the following day, ready to lay while it is fresh.

It depends how dark the plot is. The shut-in terrace gardens around the town centre and Hurst lose a lot of light, and no lawn loves deep shade. Tell us about the garden before you order and we will give you a straight answer on whether turf is the right call.

Yes. We supply turf cut to order for you to take delivery of and lay yourself. Because it is cut fresh it needs laying within about a day, so have the ground prepared and ready before it arrives: dug over, levelled, raked to a fine tilth and firmed. If you want the ground doing too, that is what the supplied-and-laid option is for.

It means the whole job is handled, not just the turf. Barrow Landscaping comes out and measures, prepares the ground properly, strips any old lawn, levels it and brings in topsoil where it is needed, then lays fresh turf the day it is cut. You get a finished lawn rather than a pallet of turf to deal with. It is the option most people go for once they see the price difference against buying materials and hiring a rotavator.

Spring and autumn are ideal, when the ground is warm and there is usually enough rain to help it root. Turf can go down almost all year as long as the ground is not frozen or waterlogged. Summer laying is fine but needs a strict watering routine while it establishes. We will be honest about timing when you enquire.
