Ainsty Turfcare
What customers say
Careful preparation before any turf goes down is the theme that stands out most across feedback for Ainsty Turfcare, based in Bishopthorpe, York. Jonathan, sometimes joined by Tony, is named in nearly every review, with clients describing thorough diagnosis of problem lawns, including a waterlogged garden that required soil removal and new drainage before re-turfing. Large quantities of topsoil and shingle, in some cases over twenty tonnes, were brought in and levelled ahead of laying new turf, with the finished lawns described as neat and impressive. Communication is mentioned repeatedly as a strength, with clients noting that Jonathan explains each stage of the process and provides guidance on aftercare once the work is finished, including a leaflet on how to manage new turf as it establishes. The team is described as hardworking, reliable and leaving sites clean and tidy at the end of each job. Reviewers also point to strong technical knowledge of lawn and drainage issues, with more than one client calling the approach expert and reassuring compared with previous experiences. This combination of proper groundwork, generous soil and drainage provision, and follow-up advice runs through every account of the business's turfing projects.

Jonathan and Tony were very friendly and pleasant to have around. Always great communication which is rare these days. It was good to be dealing with an expert in lawn care and Jonathan always took time to explain everything. They worked incredibly hard, even taking delivery of 24 tons of top soil before preparing the area for the turf. Very neat and tidy and our new lawn looks amazing. Took time after the job was completed to advise on aftercare and a new lawnmower. We would highly recommend Ainsty Turfcare.
A very professional and reliable business. Jon is extremely knowledgeable and helpful on all matters regarding turfcare. Can't recommend highly enough
Real experts on everything lawn related, Johnathan was professional and helpful throughout. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ainsty Lawncare
Our lawn was in an awful waterlogged state. After a diagnosis from Jonathan he removed the soil , put in drainage , new topsoil and re turfed it. Now great. No hesitation in recommending him.
Excellent communication throughout. Professional, reliable and friendly team who have done a great job re-instating a section of lawn; this involved filling the area with over 15 tons of soil and shingle. We can highly recommend.
We’ve recently had our old front lawn and two large flowerbeds re-turfed by Ainsty Landscapes and we are really happy with the result. Jonathan clearly takes great pride in his work and this was reflected in his careful preparation of the ground before the new turf was laid. He worked hard over two days and left the area clean and tidy afterwards. He even provided an after-care leaflet so that we know how to manage the turf as it establishes itself. Great service, we would highly recommend.
