Understanding Walton-on-Thames's Soil and What It Means for Your Lawn

Walton-on-Thames sits on river terrace gravels beside the Thames, with sandier ground to the south — and getting this right is critical to a long-lasting lawn.

• Thames gravels (much of the town): Free-draining, often stony ground that dries out quickly in summer. We clear stones, add quality topsoil and use drought-tolerant turf.

• Riverside ground (near the Thames and Mole): Silty, lower-lying soil with a higher water table. We grade carefully so the lawn sheds water and doesn't stay wet.

• Sandy ground (towards St George's Hill): Light, acidic soil that drains very freely. We enrich the topsoil to hold moisture and choose turf suited to dry conditions.

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.
