Turf Delivery in Christchurch

Christchurch sits at the confluence of the Avon and Stour rivers where they meet Christchurch Harbour. The soil is a mix of river gravel and Bagshot Sand — light, well-drained, and easy to work. The sheltered harbour position gives a very mild climate. Like neighbouring Bournemouth, the sandy soil benefits from topsoil enrichment before turfing.
