Turf Around Trees and Landscape Beds
Mature trees and planted beds make grass thin and patchy. We cut turf cleanly around trunks and roots, leave room for the tree to breathe and set crisp edges along your beds, so the lawn looks full right up to the plants.

Common questions
Will turf hurt my trees?
We keep the base shallow near roots, leave a gap around trunks and use materials that let water reach the soil, so trees are not smothered.
Can turf go right up to a trunk?
We leave a small open ring or mulch circle around the trunk to protect the tree and give it room to grow.
What about falling leaves?
Leaves and needles blow or rake off a turf surface easily.
