Fresh Lawn Turf and Roll Out Grass Delivered Across Co. Wicklow
Emerald Lawns delivers fresh lawn turf and roll out grass throughout Co. Wicklow — from Bray and Greystones on the coast to Arklow and Tinahely in the south. Our turf is grown on over 200 acres of stone-free farmland in Co. Derry and cut to order on your delivery day. Known as the Garden of Ireland, Wicklow has a strong tradition of quality gardening — set by prestige local landmarks like Powerscourt Estate and Mount Usher Gardens — alongside ongoing new-build development along the N11 corridor that requires an instant, professional lawn.
Fresh Turf Delivered to Wicklow — How It Works
When you order roll out grass for delivery to Co. Wicklow, your turf is cut on the morning of dispatch — never pre-cut or left sitting in long-term storage. Because lawn turf is a living, perishable product, we recommend laying your rolls on the day of arrival to ensure rapid root establishment.
- Morning Harvesting: Turf is harvested fresh from our Co. Derry farm on your scheduled dispatch day.
- Next Working Day Delivery: Order online by 1pm for next working day delivery to Co. Wicklow. Your delivery date is selected at checkout.
- Palletised Delivery Format: Orders arrive palletised for kerbside delivery via a heavy goods vehicle with tail lift and manually operated pallet truck.
- Site Access Requirements: The pallet truck will only operate on smooth (non-gravelled), solid, level surfaces — such as tarmac, concrete, or block paving. Please ensure a suitable surface is available at your delivery point before placing your order.
- Kerbside Drop: Delivery is made to the closest suitable point to your address. Drivers are unable to carry or transport rolls to rear gardens, around the side of buildings, or up steps and paths.

Wicklow's Soil Conditions — What to Expect
Wicklow has a varied landscape, so soil conditions can differ significantly from one part of the county to another. Understanding the ground you are working with is important when preparing for a new lawn.
- Coastal Wicklow (Bray, Greystones, Kilcoole, Brittas Bay, Silver Strand): Many coastal and eastern sites feature relatively light, well-draining soils. Because eastern Ireland generally receives less rainfall than western regions, water new turf consistently during establishment — particularly during dry spells in spring and summer.
- Granite Upland Areas (Enniskerry, Roundwood, Rathdrum): Higher ground around the Wicklow Mountains is influenced by granite bedrock and can contain acidic, relatively free-draining, or shallow soils. Where existing topsoil is thin or poor, applying a layer of high-quality screened topsoil before laying turf provides a far better growing medium.
- N11 Corridor New-Build Sites (Kilcoole, Rathnew, Greystones Expansion): New-build gardens typically contain heavily compacted subsoil, construction debris, and disturbed ground. Remove rubble, loosen the topsoil layer, and level properly before laying turf.
- South Wicklow (Arklow, Tinahely, Carnew): Soil conditions vary across southern Wicklow, with well-drained soils common across lower-lying areas alongside heavier ground in specific locations. Thorough cultivation, levelling, and drainage preparation are advisable prior to installation.
Why Roll Out Turf Is the Right Choice for a Wicklow Garden
If you are deciding between sowing grass seed or installing a roll-out lawn, turf offers clear practical advantages for Wicklow properties:
- Instant New-Build Solution: Compacted or rubble-heavy ground on new housing developments makes uniform seed germination difficult. Turf provides immediate ground cover, suppresses weed growth, and transforms bare ground into an established lawn straight away.
- Overcomes Soil Variation: With coastal, upland, and variable southern soils across the county, seeding requires careful soil amendments and precise timing. Turf arrives pre-established on a cultivated sward, removing that uncertainty.
- Faster Establishment: Seeded lawns generally take considerably longer before they can tolerate regular foot traffic. Fresh turf can establish roots in around two to three weeks under good growing conditions.
- Reliable Coverage in Variable Conditions: As an east-coast county, Wicklow receives lower average rainfall than western regions. Turf's established root system handles dry spells far better than fragile, germinating seedlings during the critical early weeks.
