Project
New section, from scratch
Build up the base, level it, then sow.
Fill with Garden Builder, finish with bark.
Do these first, before the lawn goes in.

Too little means a second trip. Too much means paying for product you didn't need. Put in your measurements and we'll work out the quantity of soil, compost, mulch or stone.
Find out what's there first. New-build sections can be left with compacted fill, rubble or only a thin layer of soil, and grass won't thrive on that. Dig a few test holes around the section. If it's hard-packed or stony, build it up with Lawn Builder or Screened Soil before you sow. It's the step that decides how the lawn looks in five years.
Both, in that order. Lawn Builder builds the base up to finished height. Topdressing Mix goes on top as the finer final layer, so you can rake it smooth and sow straight into it. Work out how much of each you need with the calculator, then order them together.
Plan your bulk orders together. Fewer deliveries means fewer days waiting in for a truck. Order in the sequence you'll use it, though: base materials for paths first, then soil for the beds and lawn. Anything that arrives too early can end up in the way, or washed somewhere you don't want it.
No. Sort the ground first: levels, drainage and the hard areas, because those are the hardest to change later. Lawn and beds can follow when you're ready, and planting can wait for the right season. A section done in stages, in the right order, ends up better than one rushed in a single go.
Email us a photo of the section. We'll tell you what to do first.
