Turf Laying

Our Turf Laying service is based in the North East & Northumberland, but we cover all areas.

Our turf allows you to enjoy your garden instantly without the lengthy process required of seeding your own lawn. The turf is harvested daily so we can ensure maximum freshness. Using the latest harvesting technology ensures less waste, and tidy uniformly sized rolls.

Turf Aftercare

Turf is a living plant and therefore perishable.

It needs to be cared for once laid to give the new root system the time and conditions to establish properly.

Find out more by visiting our aftercare page, and finding out what you can do to make the best of your freshly laid turf.

DIY SOS

The Big Build

GK Turfing were proud to lay a new lawn donating their time and materials to support a deserving family from Longframlington, featured on the BBC One series ‘DIY SOS: The Big Build’ as part of a life changing transformation to their home and outdoor space.

What a great job.  Old dead turf cleared and levelled.  New fantastic turf laid and all tidied up.  120sqm turf took an afternoon and the following morning.

We cannot fault this work.
Just sorry we didn't ask them to do the front lawn too!
