Understanding Horley's Soil and What It Means for Your Lawn

Horley sits on flat Weald Clay close to Gatwick, with streams running through the area — and getting this right is critical to a long-lasting lawn.

• Weald Clay (most of the town): Heavy, flat clay ground that drains slowly and can stay wet in winter. Our preparation includes a drainage assessment and grading so surface water runs off.

• Low-lying ground near the River Mole and its streams: Areas close to watercourses can have a high water table. We grade carefully and advise on drainage before turfing.

• New-build plots: Newer gardens often have compacted subsoil and builders' debris under thin topsoil. We strip back, clear rubble and lay a proper depth of quality topsoil.

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.
