Lawn and Garden FAQ: Questions for Our Landscape Gardeners in Lincoln
Answers to what Lincoln customers ask about lawns, turf, clearance and landscaping.
General
How do I get a price?
Call 01522 447016 or send the form and we will call you back to arrange a look.
Can you quote from photos?
For simple jobs like a grass cut or hedge trim, photos can be enough. For levelling, turfing or landscaping we visit, because the soil decides the work.
Do you take the waste?
Yes, all of it.
Do I have to be in?
No, as long as we can get into the garden.
Do you work all year?
Yes. Turf and seed wait for the right weather, but clearance, planting and building carry on.
Can you come regularly?
Yes, fortnightly, monthly or seasonally.
Lawn levelling
How much does lawn levelling cost?
It depends on the size, how uneven it is and whether new turf is needed. We give a free quote after seeing it.
Can you keep my existing turf?
If it is healthy, yes: we lift, level and relay it. Patchy or weedy turf is better replaced.
Turfing and new lawns
Turf or seed?
Turf gives a usable lawn in weeks and is less affected by birds and weeds.
When should turf be laid?
Spring and autumn are best.
Lawn care and mowing
Do you do one-off cuts?
Yes, as well as regular visits.
How often should a lawn be cut?
Weekly to fortnightly in late spring and summer.
Garden clearance
How long does a clearance take?
Usually a day or two.
Do you remove the waste?

Usually, especially in the dormant season.
Do you supply the plants?
