Turf Delivery in Chelmsford

Chelmsford sits at the confluence of the Can and Chelmer rivers on London Clay with river gravel terraces. The county town of Essex has heavy clay in most areas, but the gravel terraces near the rivers provide better-drained ground. Essex's dry climate is actually ideal for turf — enough rain to establish but rarely waterlogged.
