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

Much of Woking sits on sandy heathland soil, with river ground along the Wey — and getting this right is critical to a long-lasting lawn.

• Bagshot Sand (Horsell and the heathland areas): Very sandy, acidic and quick-draining soil that dries out fast in summer. We use drought-tolerant turf and blend in organic matter to help the lawn hold water.

• Heavier pockets: Some parts of the borough have heavier, clay-rich subsoil beneath the surface. We check drainage on every site and adjust our preparation to suit.

• River Wey ground (Old Woking and Byfleet): Lower-lying ground near the river can have a higher water table. We grade carefully so surface water drains away from the 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.
