Understanding Reigate's Soil and What It Means for Your Lawn
Reigate sits at the meeting point of three distinct geological zones, which means the soil in your garden can vary significantly depending on exactly where you live — and getting this right is critical to a long-lasting lawn.
-
Greensand Ridge (town centre and surrounding areas): Reigate town sits on the Greensand Ridge, which produces free-draining, slightly acidic, sandy loam soil. This drains well but can dry out quickly in summer. We select turf varieties with good drought tolerance and often supplement with a richer compost blend to improve water retention.
-
North Downs escarpment (Reigate Hill area): Properties higher up towards Reigate Hill sit on shallower chalk-based soil. This is naturally alkaline and free-draining. We use carefully selected topsoil to build depth and choose turf types suited to these conditions.
-
Lower-lying areas: Gardens in the lower valleys around Reigate can carry heavier clay subsoil, which holds moisture but can become waterlogged in winter. Our ground preparation process includes drainage assessment and, where needed, grading to ensure your new lawn sheds excess water properly.
