Turfing and Sandstone Paving Installation in Lenham

First, we removed existing materials and installed a stable sub-base. We levelled and compacted the ground to ensure proper drainage. Then we laid the sandstone paving on a full mortar bed, followed by premium turf laid in neat stripes. Finally, borders were planted with shrubs for year‑round interest.

Timeframes vary depending on garden size and weather, but a typical project like this takes around 5‑7 working days from preparation to completion. This includes removing old surfaces, laying the sub‑base, installing paving and turf, and finishing touches such as planting.

For the first couple of weeks, water the turf regularly and avoid walking on it until roots establish. Thereafter, mow when it reaches around 5 cm and water during dry spells.

Sweep or hose down sandstone paving occasionally to remove debris, and use a mild detergent for stubborn marks.

Yes. Indian sandstone is a hard‑wearing natural stone that withstands UK weather well, and premium turf creates a resilient lawn when correctly laid and cared for. A properly prepared sub-base and good drainage help both elements last for many years.

We compacted and graded the sub-base to create the correct falls for water run-off. The paving was laid on a full mortar bed and joints filled to prevent water ingress. The lawn area was levelled and topped with quality soil to aid drainage.

It’s best to keep off a newly laid lawn for at least two weeks to allow the turf to root. After that, light foot traffic is fine, but avoid heavy use for the first month. Regular watering during this period will help the turf establish quickly.
