Planned Around Your Block.
Ashburton lawns sit on heavy clay. The family homes around High Street come with established gardens, mature trees and a layer of dense soil that holds water, drowns roots and leaves grass patchy by midsummer. Drop turf straight onto that ground and it goes to mud after rain, then bakes hard in summer. We rebuild the base so water moves instead of pooling, pick a variety that copes with the shade thrown by old trees, and where a spot stays too dark or too wet for natural grass we lay artificial turf that stays flat and green all year. The aim is a lawn that holds up across an Ashburton block rather than thinning out by the first hot month. We also build across Glen Iris and Ashwood, and see our landscaping in Ashburton.
