Understanding East Grinstead's Soil and What It Means for Your Lawn

East Grinstead sits on a ridge in the High Weald, where bands of sandstone and clay alternate — and getting this right is critical to a long-lasting lawn.

• Sandy ridge soils (the town): Light, acidic, free-draining soil that dries out in summer. We use drought-tolerant turf and enrich the topsoil to hold moisture.

• Clay in the valleys: Heavier clay soils that hold water and can become waterlogged in winter. We assess drainage and grade the ground so the lawn doesn't sit wet.

• Sloping gardens: Because the town sits on a ridge, many gardens slope. We regrade and level, adding retaining sleepers where needed, to create a usable lawn.

Reigate project — 480m² lawn with sleeper retaining wall

A recent example from our home town of Reigate: a customer near the town centre came to us after their lawn had been ruined during a house extension. We removed the old compacted ground, imported and levelled 40 tonnes of topsoil, and installed 480m² of premium lawn turf — finishing with a sleeper retaining wall at the rear boundary. The result was a stunning, level lawn ready to use within 4 weeks.
