Turfing and Paving Job in Ealing

Day 1: Preparation work and paving

We started by preparing the terrain. We cleaned the yard, removing any weeds, shrubbery and other objects that may get in our way of work. This was necessary, as we would lay turf later.

After that, we brought up our tools to be in arm’s reach and positioned the landscaping timbers nearby.

Now the actual work could start. We had 2 of the specialists dislodging the old bricks of where the new timber was supposed to go, while the one left would remove the old slabs.

The local landscapers then levelled the areas and installed an anti-weed membrane to prevent any problematic roots from growing again under the paving. After this was done, they edged with the landscape timbers to define the area left for paving. Slabs were then laid on M.O.T. base, and we called it a day to give them some time.

Day 2: Pointing and turfing

After the patio gained strength, it was now time to point the joints and give it that extra support. One of the landscapers in Ealing did just that while the other two got their hands dirty with the turfing. We introduced some top soil to the lawn and started laying the new turf rolls. We watered it, swiped the new patio and started packing up our tools.

Challenges:

As every terrain has its unique issues, this time it was a pipe going from the house to the lawn. We had to be very careful not to damage it when edging. Fortunately, we have the experience needed to sort out these kinds of problems smoothly.
