Turfing in Bonnyrigg

Turfing, Done Properly

A full dig out, around 7 tonnes of rootzone brought in as the base, and fresh turf laid on top. This Bonnyrigg lawn’s now on our treatment and maintenance plan to keep it in good shape all year.

The results

What A Difference

Same garden, same spot. The before is what we walked into.
The after is what we handed back.

The job

What The Job Needed, Stage By Stage

No secret products, just the right work done at the right time of year.

  1. First look
    Measure up

    Walked the garden with the owner and agreed a clear price for the dig out and relay.

  2. Dig out
    Old lawn out

    Dug out the tired lawn and cleared the ground ready for a proper base.

  3. Base and turf
    7 tonnes of rootzone

    Brought in around 7 tonnes of rootzone, levelled it as the subbase and laid fresh turf on top.

  4. From here
    On the plan

    The lawn's now on our treatment and maintenance plan: seasonal feeds and regular care to keep it in good shape all year.

Five star Google review

“Davie re-turfed the large lawn I’d managed to destroy with an overzealous use of moss killer. The finished result is stunning, completed beautifully in just half a day. I wish I could load pictures here to show you before and after. I have nothing but praise for this man’s /this company’s professionalism and workmanship. He is organised and knowledgeable with a great can-do no nonsense attitude. Forget the rest, just hire DSM for great value and a faultless service start to finish.”
