New lawn establishment — Landscape gardener
Describe the area, how the lawn will be used and whether you prefer turf or seed, without assuming either suits every site. Provide photographs of shade, slopes and existing ground, and explain who can water and care for the new lawn while it establishes.
Service scope
Creation of a living-grass lawn by an agreed turf or seed approach after appropriate site preparation. The brief distinguishes new establishment from routine lawn care and artificial surfacing, with grass suitability, drainage and aftercare responsibilities explicitly identified.
What is normally included
- Assessment of the intended lawn area
- Specified ground preparation and grass establishment
- Initial care guidance or agreed follow-up visits
What is not included
- Automatic correction of every drainage defect
- Synthetic grass installation under a living-lawn description
Typical tasks
- Review site and lawn-use requirements
- Agree turf or seed specification
- Prepare the defined ground area
- Establish the lawn using the agreed approach
- Handover watering and initial-use guidance
What to include in your brief
- Lawn area and dimensions
- Intended use and appearance
- Sunlight soil and drainage information
- Existing vegetation or surface
- Water availability and aftercare arrangements
Choosing the right professional
Compare preparation and establishment scope rather than the price of turf alone. Ask how soil condition and drainage are assessed, what grass specification is proposed and when the lawn can be used, with timing adapted to the actual site and weather.
Important considerations
- Inadequate preparation can affect establishment and levels
- Missing aftercare can compromise newly laid turf or emerging grass
