A new lawn has been installed adjacent to a new build development in North Hertfordshire.

Perfect Ground Solutions needed to move quickly to make sure we were able to take advantage of the forecast rain the following week. This was not an irrigated lawn, so we run the risk of poor germination and plant death if the surface dried out in the warmer days of May.

This project involved the levelling of the existing area, importing a few lorry loads of grade one top soil from British Sugar. In our opinion one of the best and most consistent top soils available.

The area was then consolidated and overseeded with the correct blend of grass varieties to provide a vibrant lawn in the not-too-distant future.

We were fortunate – the forecast was correct and we had 20mm of rain two days after completion. This settled the seed in and begun the germination process.

We will need to apply a selective herbicide to combat broadleaved weed growth and a little more nutrition before this becomes a fantastic lawn.

All in all, a great days work, with a vibrant green lawn to follow!
