Garden Clearance Transformation with new lawn turfing Diss, NorfolkIt never ceases to amaze us just how quickly gardens can become overgrown and out of control. Trevor’s bungalow in Diss, Norfolk had been rented out for a few years and after some neglect had become a tangle of overgrown fences, perennial weeds and scrub. The lawn was covered in brambles and nettles which had become a dense mesh. The neighbouring property was industrial land and ivy had completely engulfed the fences and boundary line. Trevor had told us that he could not change the fences as they were not on his land. This took away the option of being able to completely excavate out the ivy roots completely. Therefore our plan was cut the ivy back to the fences tightly to create a living green screen. This way the boundary could be maintained by trimming with a hedge cutter to form a living wall beneficial to local wildlife. This left the lawn area, which we wanted to clear and lay new turf but without the threat of scrub and perennial weeds returning. Using a brush cutter we levelled all the scrub and brambles down so we could access the site. We then excavated out the woody saplings and brambles by the roots to make sure they did not re-grow. We then mowed down the stubble on the lowest mower setting to clear away debris and herbaceous weeds. A mini excavator was brought in and we systematically dug over the soil loosening it to a depth of 300mm. We removed any woody or perennial roots as we went and then rotovated the whole lawn area with our Hyundai Tiller. Once the site was cultivated we raked the surface nice and level and supplied and spread a 20mm layer of humus rich topsoil. We then supplied and laid Medlar turf which completed the garden clearance transformation. After a thorough watering the project was ready for hand over and what a difference it has made!
