New Lawns & Turfing · Dundee
Looking for turfing & new lawns in Dundee?
A new lawn is one of the fastest ways to transform a tired garden. We lift worn out grass, prepare and level the ground properly, and lay fresh quality turf that knits in quickly and gives you a usable green space within weeks. We turf gardens of all sizes across Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire, whether you are replacing a patchy, mossy lawn, finishing off a new build plot, or reinstating ground after building works or a garden redesign.
Dundee's older suburbs hold some genuinely large mature trees — beech, lime, sycamore and pine planted when the villas were built — and these often need reduction or deadwooding rather than removal. Gardens sloping towards the Tay catch the wind coming up the estuary, and the sandier ground in parts of Broughty Ferry and Monifieth drains quickly, which affects both lawn establishment and which turf we recommend.
Several parts of the West End, Broughty Ferry and Newport-adjacent streets fall within conservation areas, and protected trees are common on the older villa plots. We confirm protected status with Dundee City Council before starting. Space is the other constraint — many city gardens have no side access, so large trees are dismantled in sections and taken out through the house side or over walls with proper protection in place.
We cover Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, Invergowrie, Dundee West End, Barnhill, Newport-on-Tay and the villages in between, and you can read more about our wider work on our Dundee page or the full new lawns & turfing guide.
If the job goes further than this, we also handle Landscaping Dundee.
- Removal of old turf and debris — Stripping out failed grass, moss and surface roots so the new turf is not laid over the problems that killed the last lawn.
- Ground preparation and levelling — Cultivating, grading and firming the soil to remove hollows and bumps, so the finished lawn mows evenly.
- Drainage improvement — Breaking up compaction and improving the top layer where ground sits wet, which is common on heavy Scottish soils.
- Quality turf laying — Fresh turf laid in staggered courses with tight joints and neatly cut edges around beds, paths and curves.
Why Dundee homeowners choose us
The difference between a lawn that looks good for a season and one that looks good for a decade is nearly all in the preparation. We take the time to get levels, soil condition and drainage right before a single roll is laid, and we are fully insured and careful with access routes through your property while the turf is moved in.
Typical Dundee jobs: sectional dismantling of oversized conifers in tight city gardens, hedge reductions on long boundary runs in Broughty Ferry, and artificial grass in small, shaded back gardens where real lawn will not thrive.

What customers say
Reviews from our Facebook page
“Lee and team did a garden clearance for me after moving into a property with a pretty neglected garden, including a pretty hefty ivy growth on the back of the house. They did an absolutely cracking job of clearing all the growth, the ivy, some unexpected branch piles and taking away all the rubbish. Did in a day what would have taken me many days to do myself. Also got some great advice on the next steps of bringing the garden back to life.”
“Had Lee and team lay a patio and path. Work was done in a good manner and to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy and nothing was too much hassle. Thanks Mr McDonald.”
“I can’t recommend this landscaping business enough! They turned our overgrown garden into exactly what we wanted. Showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and left everything tidy when they finished. Great value for money and really friendly service – will definitely be using them again.”
