Business for Sale Overview:
Established in 1989 and under the stewardship of the current Owners for just over three years, this is one of the leading growers of turf in the south east of England. Operating from site conditions which is suitable for a broad selection of lawn types, this business offers a wide range of turf for different uses, using the latest grass varieties that are particularly suited to the local area. In addition to turf – either laid by its highly skilled and experienced team or delivered on a supply only basis, this business also offers topsoil, loam, seed and fertilizer – in low or very high volume quantities.
Currently operating from approximately twenty acres – with almost limitless additional capacity available – of farmland, just south of Guildford and close to the A3 motorway, this business is at the forefront of turf developments within the industry. It specialize in its own blend – cultivating the resilient and hard wearing Hard Fescue variety of grass which tolerates the hottest of English summers, staying greener for longer and requiring less watering. Low maintenance lawns of this variety require less mowing than traditional lawn mixes and is therefore in significant demand in the area in which this business operates.

The land was originally secured on a three year agreement which is soon to expire, however it is understood there will be no problem extending the rental agreement.
