Turfing Frequently Asked Questions
Discover how Taylorstone can enhance your home with high-quality turfing installation services.
What type of turf do you use?
We use premium, hard-wearing turf sourced from trusted UK suppliers — ideal for family gardens in Colchester, Chelmsford and the surrounding areas. Our standard turf is perfect for most domestic lawns, offering a good balance of durability and appearance. We also offer specialised options including ornamental turf for showcase lawns and shade-tolerant varieties for gardens with limited sunlight.
How long does it take for new turf to establish?
Most new lawns take around 2–3 weeks to root fully, depending on weather and aftercare. During summer months, establishment may be quicker with proper watering, while winter installations may take longer. You’ll be able to walk on your new lawn lightly after about 10-14 days, but we recommend avoiding heavy use for at least 3 weeks. We provide full guidance for the best results.
When is the best time to lay turf?
Turf can be laid all year round, but spring and autumn are ideal for quick rooting and healthy growth. These seasons offer moderate temperatures and natural rainfall that help new turf establish without excessive watering. Summer installation is possible but requires more attentive watering, while winter turfing can be done as long as the ground isn’t frozen or waterlogged.
How do I care for my new lawn after installation?
Regular watering, gentle mowing after 2–3 weeks, and proper drainage will keep your lawn looking its best. For the first few weeks, water daily (more in hot weather) to ensure the roots establish properly. The first mow should be on a high setting when the grass reaches about 5-6cm in height. We provide full aftercare advice with every project, tailored to your specific lawn and local conditions.
Do you provide free quotes and site visits?
Yes. We offer free, no-obligation quotes and on-site consultations for all turfing projects in Colchester, Chelmsford and the surrounding areas. Our site visits allow us to assess your garden’s specific requirements, discuss your preferences, and provide accurate pricing. We can usually arrange a consultation within a few days of your enquiry.
