It’s time to get your garden ready for spring and summer. Give your plants the best chance to thrive by preparing the ground properly. This means creating a nutrient-rich topsoil layer and ensuring that your turf is healthy and strong. Topsoil is the key to a healthy garden. It’s the uppermost layer of soil that contains all the nutrients plants need to grow. If you’ve got poor-quality topsoil, your plants will struggle to reach their potential.
There are two ways to improve your topsoil. You can either add in organic matter like compost or manure, or you can buy bags of topsoil from a garden centre. Either way, make sure you work the new soil into the existing soil to a depth of at least 20cm.
Turf is another important element in a healthy garden. It not only looks great, but it also helps to prevent weeds from taking over. If you’ve got patchy or bare areas in your lawn, now is the time to re-seed or lay new turf. Again, make sure you prepare the ground first by raking out any dead grass and weed roots. Once you’ve laid the existing topsoil, you can then lay your turf.
For both topsoil and turf, it’s important to water regularly during the first few weeks to help the new plants establish themselves. After that, give them a good watering once a week during dry spells. And that’s it – with some love and care, your garden will be looking its best in no time!
Quality counts
As any gardener will tell you, quality counts, when it comes to topsoil. It’s the uppermost layer of soil that contains all the nutrients plants need to grow, so if you’ve got poor-quality topsoil, your plants will struggle to reach their potential. There are two ways to improve your topsoil Cambridge. You can either add in organic matter like compost or manure, or you can buy bags of topsoil from a garden centre. Either way, make sure you work the new soil into the existing soil to a depth of at least 20cm.
Quality also counts with turf. There are so many different types of turf, including shade tolerant, amenity landscaping, sports field and ornamental varieties. The correct choice of turf will ensure a good-looking, healthy lawn for years to come. As well as the quality of the turf, the soil it is laid on is also very important. If you have poor quality soil, then no matter how good the turf is, it will not be able to establish itself and will quickly start to die off.
Topsoil is the key to success when preparing a new lawn. It provides the perfect environment for turf to take root and grow in. It should be rich in nutrients and able to hold moisture yet still drain well. You also do need fresh turf delivered quickly in pristine condition. The key is, therefore, to make sure you get a perfect balance. We only sell the highest quality products, so you can be sure your garden will be looking its best in no time.
