Turf Laying & Lawn Installation
Soft, green, and beautifully even — your new lawn starts here.
A beautiful lawn doesn’t just appear; it’s built carefully from the ground up. At Hedgie WIlder, we combine proper soil preparation, precise turf laying, and thoughtful finishing touches to create lawns that root quickly, grow evenly, and stay healthy in the Plovdiv climate. Whether you’re starting fresh, replacing a tired lawn, or repairing problem areas, we make sure your garden lawn looks good from day one—and keeps getting better.
Groundwork & Lawn Foundations
Site Assessment & Ground Preparation
A long‑lasting lawn starts with understanding the ground beneath it. Before any turf is laid, we assess the soil, levels, and drainage, then prepare everything for a stable, healthy foundation that suits your specific garden.
Site inspection: Checking soil type, compaction, sun exposure, slope, and existing lawn condition.
Drainage review: Identifying areas where water collects or runs off too quickly.
Clearing & stripping: Removing old grass, weeds, roots, stones, and debris.
Surface shaping: Correcting dips, humps, and awkward transitions.
Base preparation: Creating a firm, even surface ready for soil improvement and turf installation.
“The time we spend preparing the ground is what makes your lawn last.”
Soil Improvement & Lawn Nutrition
Healthy soil is the engine behind a lush, green lawn. We enrich and improve your soil so it can support strong root development, retain moisture properly, and deliver nutrients evenly.
Soil conditioning: Adding organic matter to improve structure and aeration.
pH balancing: Adjusting soil acidity so grass can absorb nutrients effectively.
Nutrient enrichment: Incorporating slow‑release nutrients for early establishment.
Depth improvement: Ensuring enough quality topsoil for deep, healthy rooting.
Moisture regulation: Improving water retention while preventing waterlogging.
Future‑ready base: Preparing the soil so fertilisers and seasonal care work better.
“If we look after the soil, the lawn will look after itself.”
Uneven lawns don’t just look untidy — they affect drainage, mowing, and the overall feel of your garden. We correct the surface so your lawn feels good underfoot and performs well in all seasons.
Levelling dips and bumps: Creating a smooth, consistent surface.
Fine grading: Forming gentle slopes for natural water flow.
Drainage improvement: Reducing puddling and waterlogging.
Compaction checks: Identifying and relieving compacted zones.
Pre‑installation finish: Raking, smoothing, and preparing the surface for turf.
“A level lawn is safer, easier to maintain, and simply more enjoyable to walk on.”
Levelling & Surface Correction
Strong lawns begin with strong foundations. This section focuses on preparing your garden so your new turf—natural or artificial—has the best possible start.
Natural & Artificial Lawn Installation
Here we bring the green. This section covers the installation of natural grass turf, artificial turf, and full lawn replacements for a fresh, clean start.
Natural Grass Turf Installation
For those who love the feel of real grass, we install high‑quality turf rolls that root quickly and blend seamlessly into your garden.
Fresh turf rolls: Premium natural grass suited to Plovdiv’s climate.
Precision laying: Tight seams, staggered joints, and clean alignment.
Edge detailing: Neat cutting around beds, paths, and features.
Rolling for contact: Pressing turf into the soil to remove air pockets.
Initial watering: Thorough watering and guidance for the first week.
Early establishment checks: Ensuring the turf is rooting evenly.
“Real grass brings softness, coolness, and life to your garden from the very first day.”
Artificial Turf Installation
When you want a green lawn without the mowing, artificial turf is a smart, low‑maintenance option — especially for shaded, high‑traffic, or tricky areas.
Turf selection: Choosing realistic, durable artificial grass.
Sub‑base installation: Creating a stable, free‑draining foundation.
Weed barrier: Preventing unwanted growth from below.
Precise cutting & joining: Seamless joins for a natural look.
Secure fixing: Pinning or adhering edges and key points.
Sand infill (if required): Supporting fibres and improving durability.
Finishing brush‑up: Lifting fibres for a soft, natural appearance.
“Artificial turf stays perfectly green, even when the summer doesn’t cooperate.”
Sometimes the best solution is to start again. We remove tired, patchy lawns and replace them with a fresh, healthy surface that’s built to last.
Old lawn removal: Stripping out worn grass and problem thatch.
Problem diagnosis: Identifying shade, soil, or drainage issues.
Ground reset: Re‑levelling and improving soil where needed.
New turf installation: Laying fresh turf with precision.
Rolling & watering: Helping the turf settle quickly.
Establishment plan: Clear guidance for watering and mowing.
“A clean start can turn a frustrating lawn into your favourite part of the garden.”
Turf Replacement & New Lawn Installation
Lawn Finishing, Repair & Aftercare
A lawn isn’t just about installation — it’s about how it’s shaped, maintained, and supported over time. This section keeps your lawn looking sharp, healthy, and well‑cared‑for.
Lawn Edging & Garden Integration
Crisp edges and smooth transitions make a lawn feel truly finished. We shape your lawn so it sits beautifully within the rest of your garden.
Defined borders: Clean lines between lawn and beds.
Path & patio transitions: Neat joins to paving and decking.
Shape refinement: Curves or straight lines to suit your design.
Edge protection: Preventing grass from creeping into beds.
Visual cohesion: Helping the lawn feel integrated, not separate.
“Good edging quietly makes the whole garden look more intentional and refined.”
Lawn Reseeding & Repair
Not every lawn needs replacing. Sometimes a targeted repair is enough to bring it back to life.
Lawn assessment: Identifying the cause of thinning or damage.
Overseeding: Thickening weak or patchy areas.
Patch repair: Fixing bare spots with seed or turf.
Topdressing: Improving soil quality and surface smoothness.
Moisture support: Helping new growth establish evenly.
“A few well‑timed repairs can save a lawn that looks almost lost.”
We don’t just lay turf and walk away — you get clear, simple guidance so your new lawn has the best possible start.
Watering schedules: When and how much to water.
First mowing advice: Timing and mower height.
Ongoing mowing tips: Encouraging dense, healthy growth.
Seasonal care: Simple routines for spring, summer, and autumn.
Fertiliser timing: General guidance for feeding your lawn.
“The first weeks are crucial — but with the right guidance, they’re easy to manage.”

Your Questions, Our Answers
How do I know whether my garden needs new turf or just repair work?
Many lawns look worse than they truly are. If the soil is healthy and at least 40–50% of the grass is still alive, overseeding and targeted repairs can revive it. But if the lawn is patchy, uneven, compacted, or full of weeds, starting fresh with new turf gives you a cleaner, longer‑lasting result.
At Hedgie Wilder, we always recommend the simplest solution that will genuinely work — not the most expensive one.
What’s the best time of year to lay turf in the Plovdiv region?
Autumn and spring are ideal because the soil is warm, the air is cooler, and rainfall helps the turf root quickly. But with proper watering and preparation, we can install turf successfully from early spring to late autumn.
The real secret isn’t the season — it’s the preparation beneath the turf.
Will my new lawn survive the hot Plovdiv summers?
Yes — as long as the soil is prepared correctly and the lawn receives consistent early watering. Once established, a healthy lawn can handle heat far better than people expect. We choose turf varieties that thrive in our climate and teach you how to protect them during heatwaves.
Strong roots make strong lawns — and we build those roots from day one.
Absolutely. Artificial turf is perfect for places where natural grass struggles — deep shade, heavy foot traffic, children’s play zones, or areas where you want greenery without maintenance. Modern synthetic turf looks surprisingly natural and stays green all year.
Think of it as a practical solution that still brings beauty to the garden.
Is artificial turf a good option for shaded or high‑traffic areas?
How long does it take for new natural turf to fully establish?
Most lawns root within 10–14 days, but full establishment takes around 6–8 weeks. During this time, watering and mowing routines matter. We guide you through each step so your lawn settles evenly and grows strong.
With a little early care, your lawn will reward you for years.
What makes a lawn uneven, and can it be fixed without replacing everything?
Yes. Planting design is a core part of our service. We create detailed plant palettes, layout plans, and seasonal structure so you know exactly what goes where — and why.
“Planting is where the garden comes alive, so we treat it with the care it deserves.”
Do your landscape plans include planting design?
Uneven lawns usually come from soil settling, poor drainage, old root systems, or previous installations done without proper levelling. Many uneven lawns can be corrected with topdressing, levelling, and reseeding — but severe cases benefit from a full reset.
We always assess the cause first — fixing the problem, not just the symptoms.
How much maintenance does a new lawn really need?
Less than most people think. The first few weeks are the most important: watering, gentle mowing, and avoiding heavy use. After that, a simple seasonal routine keeps your lawn healthy — mowing, occasional feeding, and light aeration.
Good lawns aren’t high‑maintenance — they just need the right care at the right time.
