At Ascot Fencing, we offer turfing solutions tailored to suit your unique garden needs. Let’s explore our two primary turfing options: Natural Turfing and Artificial Turfing.
Discover which type is the perfect fit for your outdoor space.
Natural Turfing
Natural turf is all about embracing the outdoors in its most authentic form. Grown from real grass seeds, it brings a slice of nature right to your doorstep.
What is Natural Turf?
Natural turf consists of real grass that grows from the soil in your garden. It brings with it the natural beauty and environmental benefits only live plants can offer.
Benefits:
- Enhances the aesthetic of your garden with vibrant greenery.
- Supports local wildlife, providing a habitat for various species.
- Contributes to air purification and carbon sequestration.
- Helps in soil conservation.
Ideal For:
- Eco-conscious homeowners looking for a sustainable option.
- Families desiring a natural play area for children and pets.
- Garden enthusiasts seeking a traditional lawn experience.
Artificial Turfing
Artificial grass offers a green oasis without the upkeep associated with traditional lawns. Made from high-quality synthetic fibers, it mimics the look and feel of real grass.
What is Artificial Turf?
Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It's perfect for those seeking a low-maintenance solution without compromising on aesthetics.
Benefits:
- Requires minimal maintenance – no mowing, watering, or fertilising.
- Stays green all year round, unaffected by weather conditions.
- Durable and long-lasting, resistant to wear and tear.
- Ideal for areas where natural grass struggles to grow.
Ideal For:
- Busy homeowners looking for low-maintenance garden solutions.
- Spaces with high foot traffic where natural grass might wear down.
- Those with shaded gardens where grass might not thrive.
How To Choose The Right Type of Turfing
When you're weighing the options between artificial and natural grass, it comes down to striking a balance between your budget and your desire to be eco-friendly.
Going for artificial turf means you'll be spending more at the outset, but you'll cut back on the long haul, with no watering or mowing on your to-do list. It's a win for water conservation, but remember it's a plastic product, which isn't ideal when it's time to replace and dispose of it.
On the flip side, laying down natural grass is easier on your wallet right off the bat, and it's a champion for the environment, doing its part in carbon absorption and oxygen production, not to mention it's a haven for local wildlife. But keep in mind, it will want more of your attention and water as it grows.
Feeling a bit stuck on which way to lean for your space? No worries - we're right here to offer a helping hand in finding the sweet spot that aligns with your financial constraints and environmental ethos.

A successful turf installation begins with proper ground preparation, which includes removing old grass, weeds, and debris, levelling and grading the soil, adding topsoil if necessary, and ensuring the ground is properly compacted and moist before laying the turf.

This includes brushing to lift the blades, removing debris, rinsing to eliminate dirt or pet waste, and ensuring proper drainage is maintained. Regular maintenance helps extend its lifespan and keeps it looking fresh year-round.
