For managing agents and residents
Communal and apartment lawns
Shared gardens and courtyards, laid new or returfed, for managing agents, residents' groups and developers. Planned around the people who live there.
Lawns that get used every day
Communal lawns take more foot traffic than most gardens. Good preparation and a hard-wearing turf help them recover between busy weekends.
In city-centre and Salford schemes, the lawn is often over a podium or next to a car park deck, with thin soil and awkward access. Tell us what you know about the build-up and we'll plan for it.
Useful to tell us
- How we get materials in: gates, lifts, corridors
- Where turf and topsoil can be stored on the day
- Whether residents need notice or a quiet time
- Any irrigation, lighting or drainage in the lawn
- Who signs off the quote
Getting it right on the day
Most communal jobs mean barrowing everything through a gate or a passage, so we plan board runs and protect paths before the first roll goes down.
Afterwards, residents get simple notes on watering and when the lawn can be used again, so a new lawn isn't worn out in its first fortnight.
Questions people ask
Is the quote free?
Yes. Nothing is booked until the quote is accepted and the deposit paid.
Can you returf part of a lawn?
Yes, if it's a sensible area to replace. We'll say if it would look patchy against the old turf.
