Featured Products:
Wessex® Coolfresh Turf
Our flagship Wessex ‘Coolfresh’ Turf is featured in award-winning gardens at The Chelsea Flower Show and can be seen at many high-profile attractions such as The Tower of London, The Natural History Museum and Kew Gardens. Our turf is grown on fertile soils, using seeds selected from the Sports Turf Research Institute’s list of highly-rated cultivars. Our Wessex turf is non-netted and cultivated at around 15 months old, meaning it’s well-established when laid. Our unique ‘Coolfresh’ system involves the turf going through a unique chilling process during the delivery, ensuring the turf rolls are kept cool throughout to maintain optimum freshness.
Wessex® BS3882 10mm Soil
Our Wessex 10mm is a 70/30 blend of high quality local British Standard topsoil and PAS 100 green compost. Our Wessex 10mm soil is tested in accordance to a BS3882: 2015 – A copy of our test analysis is available on request. The PH for this is between 7.5-8.5 and is not treated with any additives.

Wessex® Dutch Tree Sand
