Royce Turf & Irrigation: Premium Turf, Soil & Automated Watering in Cobham & Guildford

Since 1989, Royce Turf & Irrigation has been the trusted partner for landscapes that stay green, drain well, and demand minimal input. From domestic lawns to school fields, their integrated approach — soil, turf, irrigation — delivers results that piecemeal suppliers can't.

Soil: The Foundation They Get Right

  • BS 3882:2015 certified topsoil — sandy loam, 5–8% OM, pH 6.2–6.8, 10 mm screened.
  • Bulk loose (18 t), 1 m³ tote bags, or collect at Chobham depot.
  • Amendments: PAS 100 compost, lawn topdressing (70/30 sand/loam), mulch.

Turf: Five Grades, One Standard — Quality

Automated Irrigation: Intelligence Meets Hydraulics

  • Rain Bird / Hunter controllers — seasonal adjust %, rain sensor, soil moisture sensor, flow monitoring.
  • MP Rotator nozzles — low precipitation rate = no runoff on clay/slopes.
  • Zoned by hydrozone (lawn / beds / pots / veg) — each valve = one plant/soil/sun group.
  • Rainwater harvesting integration: tank → pump → irrigation mainline, auto top-up from mains.
  • Winterization: compressed air blow-out included in annual service.

Artificial Grass — The Practical Alternative

  • No mowing, watering, feeding, weeding.
  • Pet-friendly: permeable backing, urine drains, solid waste removed.
  • UV-stable 10+ yr warranty; 30 mm pile feels natural.
  • Ideal for shaded side returns, roof terraces, high-traffic dog runs.

Service Footprint & Process

  • Cobham, Guildford, Surrey, Woking, Ascot, Sunningdale.
  • Free site survey → design → fixed quote → in-house install → commission → optional maintenance.
  • TGA member; BALI registered; waste carrier licensed.
