What is Turfing & Artificial Turf?
Turfing and artificial turf are two methods used to create lawns and green spaces. Both options provide a lush, green appearance but differ significantly in terms of materials, installation, and maintenance.
Turfing involves preparing the soil by clearing debris and improving its quality, then levelling and grading the surface to ensure proper drainage. Natural grass sod is laid out, watered thoroughly, and rolled to establish firm contact with the soil. Regular maintenance, including watering, mowing, and fertilizing, ensures the turf becomes well-established and remains healthy.
Installing artificial turf starts with site preparation, including excavation and laying a compacted base layer of crushed stone. The synthetic grass is then rolled out, edges secured, and infill material, such as silica sand or rubber granules, is brushed into the turf to support the fibres and provide cushioning. Minimal maintenance is needed, including occasional brushing and debris removal to keep it looking pristine.
Turfing and artificial turf offer distinct advantages and can be chosen based on specific needs, preferences, and environmental conditions. While natural turf provides environmental benefits and aesthetic appeal, artificial turf offers durability and low maintenance, making both options valuable for various applications.


What are the benefits?
Aesthetic Appeal: Concrete imprinting can transform plain concrete into a visually stunning surface that mimics the look of more expensive materials. This enhances the overall aesthetic of your property.
Durability: Imprinted concrete is highly durable and can withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions. It offers the strength of concrete with the added benefit of decorative appeal.
Low Maintenance: Once sealed, stamped concrete is easy to clean and maintain. It resists stains and requires minimal upkeep compared to other paving materials.
Versatility: Concrete imprinting is highly versatile, with a wide range of patterns, colours, and textures available. This allows for custom designs that can complement any architectural style.
