New-build plots around Reading
Town gardens tend to be modest, often reached by a side passage, with a small lawn at the front beside the parking space.
With mixed ground across the town, the prep is decided by what is actually under your garden.
Reading soil and what it means for turf
In the Thames valley, gravelly river terraces sit next to patches of sticky London clay, with chalk rising to the south and west. A gravelly plot loses water quickly; a clay one needs opening up.
The best months for turf in Reading
Winters are gentle and summers warm. Turf goes down well from March, and again once the late-summer heat has eased.
