Green Haven Backyard – Personalized Garden Insights & Restoration Blueprint
This project involved the complete renovation of a tired and uneven front lawn in Richmond, UK. The space had become patchy, compacted, and difficult to maintain. The goal was not just to refresh the surface but to rebuild the lawn for long-term health through soil improvement, premium turf installation, and a structured fortnightly mowing routine. The result was a lush, green finish that transformed the property’s curb appeal and provided a low-maintenance outdoor setting.
Project Overview
A short intro summarizing the project:
This front lawn renovation restored vitality to a neglected 150 m² space in Richmond. The client wanted a uniform, durable, and easy-to-maintain lawn. Over six weeks, we improved the soil, installed premium turf with precision levelling, and introduced a consistent mowing rhythm that keeps the finish neat and healthy year-round.
“In a project like this, the foundation matters most. Soil structure, turf quality, and maintenance frequency all work together. By laying the right groundwork, we created a lawn that thrives with minimal effort and continues to look fresh week after week.”
