Turf Installation Malvern
A good lawn starts with the ground below it. ZMR prepares the area, checks levels and installs turf for homes in Malvern and Malvern East. We can also discuss synthetic grass where it suits the site and your preferences.
SERVICE OVERVIEW
What does turf installation involve?
Turf installation is more than rolling out new grass. The existing surface may need to be removed, the ground prepared, levels adjusted and soil set up for the selected turf. Correct preparation helps the lawn meet paths and garden edges neatly and gives water a suitable path across the area.
