This is your TopGrass guide to why you should choose renovating your lawn over re-turfing it
Many people when their lawn has been damaged, whether by weather, an insect infestation, lawn diseases or by wildlife, will feel that the only viable option is to re-turf their lawn. However, re-turfing your lawn is not the only option and actually in most cases lawn renovation can help to remedy even the most serious cases of damaged lawns.
Re-turfing your lawn may seem like the only avenue to take when your lawn is damaged and riddled with bare patches. However, renovation services, like that of our Total Reseed package, can actually provide a more sustainable and cost effective alternative.
The process of re-turfing includes both labour in removing the damaged lawn, disposing of it and then the fitting of the new turf to the lawn size. This is a labour and material intensive process and also expensive. Renovating a lawn differs as this is the process of scarifying, aerating and seeding your existing lawn to bring it back to life for a much lower monetary and environmental cost!

Here are TopGrass's top reasons why you should have your lawn professionally cared for!
We have provided here a handy guide on the differing weather conditions we experience here in the UK and how our services and treatments work in the different conditions.
As we have already established, the primary reason you should choose renovating your lawn over re-turfing is just how much more expensive re-turfing is compared to our Total Reseed Renovation package.
To put it into perspective:
If your lawn is 140m², the average cost to re-turf — including labour — is around £4,200. In contrast, our Total Reseed Renovation package costs just £773. That’s a saving of over 80%, while still delivering a full lawn transformation.
But it’s not just about the headline cost. Re-turfing also involves:
Renovation, on the other hand, keeps your existing soil structure intact and rebuilds the lawn using professional-grade treatments and overseeding techniques. It’s a more eco-friendly, budget-conscious, and long-term sustainable solution for most homeowners.
New turf can often come already infested with leatherjackets or chafer grubs, as they like to feast on healthy grass roots. This can mean that your newly laid turf can quickly become damaged and sparse from either leatherjacket of chafer grub damage. With our Total Reseed Renovation package, the risk of this is reduced as professional-grade seed will be directly sown into the lawn.
It is essential that when turf is laid that the proper aftercare is put into place, as turf can often come already infected with lawn disease like red thread. This means that your brand-new lawn could quickly become damaged. Turf laying companies would not provide this aftercare, which means that it would have to be arranged by yourself. Our Total Reseed Renovation includes ongoing aftercare to ensure that your lawn is thriving the way you want it to!
