Turf laying in Northampton

Lawns that cope with Northampton clay

Heavy clay is the biggest challenge for lawns in much of Northampton. It compacts, drains slowly and bakes hard in summer, so a lawn laid straight onto it rarely thrives.

We break up the ground by rotavating, add screened topsoil to create a proper root zone, then level, firm, rake and feed before laying premium turf. We’re about 25 minutes away along the A45.

Areas we cover: Northampton, Duston, Kingsthorpe, Abington, Weston Favell, Moulton, Wootton, Upton and Overstone

Local knowledge

Turf laying in Northampton: what to know

What we check before laying a lawn in Northampton.

Heavy clay

Clay holds water in winter and cracks in summer. Rotavating and adding topsoil gives the turf a better root zone and helps drainage.

Narrow, shaded gardens

Terraced gardens can be narrow and partly shaded. We’ll talk you through turf that copes with shade, or suggest a lawn and patio mix.

Alley access

Turf and topsoil can come in by hand through the rear alley or jitty, so nothing needs to come through your house.

New estates

Lawns at Upton, Wootton and Overstone Leys are often laid on thin soil over compacted ground. We strip, cultivate and topsoil before re-turfing.
