The Grass is Greener with Wessex™ Turf!
While artificial grass is growing in popularity, nothing beats the beauty and benefits of fresh turf. Perfect for creating a lush, natural garden, Wessex Garden Turf brings vibrant greenery while promoting an eco-friendly environment and supporting wildlife diversity.
Our new and improved, plastic-free turf offers a sustainable and long-lasting solution for any outdoor space. Whether you're refreshing your lawn or starting from scratch, Wessex Garden Turf is the perfect choice for a healthy, green garden you can enjoy year-round!
When is it the Best Time to Lay Turf?
At Stone Zone, we recommend laying your turf during seasons with mild temperatures and occasional rainfall to ensure optimal growth. Autumn and Spring are the ideal times, providing the perfect balance of moisture and sunlight to keep your new grass hydrated and healthy as it establishes strong roots.
Benefits of Wessex® Turf Grass
Plastic Netting Free Turf
One of the standout features of our new Wessex® Turf Rolls is their environmentally friendly design, making them a more sustainable choice than our previous turf. We’ve achieved this by sourcing from cultivators who have completely eliminated plastic netting, a material commonly found in some turf rolls on the market.
By removing plastic netting from the production process, we’ve significantly reduced plastic waste, creating a more eco-conscious alternative. This not only benefits the environment but also helps protect small wildlife, preventing them from getting trapped in plastic fibers. With Wessex® Turf, you can enjoy a beautiful, natural lawn while making a positive impact on the planet.
Turf with Rapid Establishment
At Stone Zone, we are committed to providing only the highest quality materials, and our Wessex® Turf is no exception. Cultivated for a minimum of 12 months, our turf is carefully nurtured to develop strong, well-established roots, ensuring superior durability and growth.
By choosing mature, well-maintained turf, you'll experience a faster and more efficient bedding-in process. With proper watering and care, your new lawn will quickly thrive, giving you a thick, vibrant green space to enjoy in no time—without the long wait!
Drought-Tolerant Grass
Once your Wessex® Turf has fully established, it becomes highly resilient, maintaining its lush, green appearance even during dry spells. Designed to withstand drought conditions, this turf ensures your lawn stays fresh and vibrant year-round—providing peace of mind, especially during summer heatwaves.
Disease-Resistant Grass
There’s nothing more frustrating than a newly laid lawn being affected by disease. One of the standout features of our Wessex® Turf is its natural resistance to common lawn diseases. Thanks to careful cultivation and expert treatment during its growth, this turf is strong, resilient, and built to last. With Wessex Turf, you can relax and enjoy a lush, healthy lawn—without the worry!
Low Maintenance Turf Rolls
One of the biggest concerns when choosing Turf Grass is the upkeep—but with Wessex® Turf, maintenance is minimal!
During its early growth, our turf is enriched with essential nutrients like nitrogen, which helps maintain its lush green color and strengthens the grass blades for long-term durability. Once established, Wessex Turf requires less water and fertiliser, making it a cost-effective and low-maintenance choice.
Not only does this reduce ongoing effort and expense, but it also makes Wessex Turf an eco-friendly option, as it minimises the use of natural resources while keeping your lawn healthy and vibrant.
Carbon-Capturing Lawn
One major benefit of choosing Turf Grass over Artificial Grass is its natural ability to capture carbon. As a living plant, Wessex® Turf absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and locks it within its roots, converting it into oxygen—just like trees do.
This carbon-capturing process helps purify the air, creating a cleaner, healthier environment in your garden while supporting sustainable and eco-friendly landscaping.
All-year-round Green Grass
We know that keeping up with garden maintenance can be challenging, especially for those with busy schedules. That’s why Wessex® Turf is the perfect choice for modern households. With proper care, this classic turf retains its lush green color all year round, ensuring your garden stays vibrant and fresh—no matter the season.

How do you order it?
Once you have measured the area in your garden that you'd like to turf, you're ready to place your Turf order! By measuring the width and length of the desired space, this will give you an idea of the amount needed.
Our Wessex Turf comes as 1m2 rolls and measures 610mm width x 1640mm length x 12.5mm height.
You can order as little as 1 square metre if you call our friendly team on 01202 874207.

We always recommend ordering 10% more than what you have worked out to esnure you are fully covered.
How do you lay it?
For the best results, follow these steps to ensure your new lawn establishes quickly and thrives:
1. Prepare the Ground
Level the soil using a rake, ensuring it’s free from debris.
For optimal turf growth, lay a 10cm base of Wessex Lawn & Turf Seeding Topsoil to create a nutrient-rich foundation.
Water the soil thoroughly two days before laying the turf to help it settle.
2. Laying the Turf
Choose a warm (but not hot) day for installation. Light rain afterward won’t harm the turf, as frequent watering is required.
Start by laying the first roll along the longest straight edge, beginning in the center and working outward.
Lay the turf in a brick pattern, offsetting each roll to prevent drying out.
Firmly push each roll together at the seams using your thumbs to ensure they knit together seamlessly.
3. Important Tips for a Perfect Finish
Avoid walking directly on freshly laid turf—use a wooden plank or kneeling board instead.
If small gaps form over time, fill them with a loamy topsoil for a smooth finish.
Trim excess turf using a knife or hacksaw for a precise fit.
Protect exposed outer edges by adding Wessex Soil to prevent them from drying out.
Following these steps will help your new turf establish beautifully, giving you a lush, green lawn to enjoy for years to come!
