Turfing in Blandford Forum: Expert Lawn Installation & Drainage Solutions

Dorset soil conditions can vary significantly, with heavier clay soils common around Blandford Forum. Without adequate drainage, lawns can become waterlogged, muddy and slow to establish...

That’s why Hambledons also offers garden drainage solutions alongside turfing in Blandford Forum and surrounding areas. Where required, we can:

• Improve soil drainage before turf is laid

• Install drainage channels or soakaways

• Address standing water issues

• Create a stronger base for long-term lawn health

By combining turfing and drainage, we help ensure your lawn remains usable, resilient and visually appealing throughout the year.

When Is the Best Time for Turfing?

One of the most common questions we’re asked about turfing is when it’s best to lay turf.

Ideal Seasons for Turfing

• Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October) are the best times for turfing

• Mild temperatures and regular rainfall help turf establish quickly

• Less stress on the grass compared to summer extremes

Turfing Outside Peak Seasons

Thanks to Dorset’s relatively mild climate, turfing can also be carried out outside these peak periods, provided:

• The ground is not frozen

• Soil is not waterlogged

• There is no prolonged frost forecast

Winter turfing can be successful with proper preparation and drainage, although growth will be slower until temperatures rise.

Our team will always advise you honestly on whether current conditions are suitable — protecting your investment and ensuring the best possible result.
