Award-Winning* Lawn Renovation
Irrigation & Robotic Mower Installation in Daymer Bay, Wadebridge
*working along side Bluestone Landscapes installing the lawn & irrigation system
Project Overview
Project Date: 2026
Location: Daymer Bay, Wadebridge, Cornwall
Property Type: Luxury Residential Holiday Home
Project Duration: 4 Weeks
Project Summary
Luxury holiday homes demand outdoor spaces that look exceptional throughout the year, regardless of whether the property is occupied. At this prestigious residence overlooking Daymer Bay near Wadebridge, the client wanted far more than a healthy lawn – they wanted a landscape that would remain immaculate with minimal day-to-day intervention.
The existing lawn had recently been reinstated but required specialist expertise to establish correctly. Simply laying new turf or seeding a lawn does not guarantee long-term success, particularly in Cornwall’s coastal climate where sandy soils, drying sea winds and fluctuating rainfall create challenging growing conditions.
To deliver the quality expected of a premium coastal property, Cornwall & Devon Lawn Care designed and installed a complete automated lawn management solution combining professional lawn establishment, intelligent irrigation and robotic mowing technology.
The finished lawn has since become an award-winning feature of the property, providing year-round presentation while requiring very little input from the homeowner.

Before the Project
A Newly Reinstated Lawn Needing Long-Term Success
Although the lawn had recently been recreated, it was still vulnerable during its establishment phase.
Without careful management, newly reinstated lawns commonly experience:
- Uneven establishment
- Dry patches
- Inconsistent growth
- Poor rooting
- Weed invasion
- Stress during warmer weather
- Damage caused by inconsistent mowing
For a high-end holiday property that may remain empty for extended periods, manual watering and regular mowing were simply not practical.
The client wanted a solution that would:
- Protect their investment
- Produce an exceptional finish
- Reduce manual maintenance
- Maintain presentation throughout the season
- Keep the surrounding planting healthy
- Operate automatically even while the property was unoccupied
Our Recommended Solution
Following a detailed site survey, our team developed a fully integrated lawn care strategy rather than treating each requirement separately.
Because Cornwall & Devon Lawn Care specialises in both professional lawn renovation and irrigation installation, we were able to design every element to work together as one complete system.
This approach included:
Lawn Reinstatement
We carefully established the new lawn using professional techniques designed to encourage strong rooting and uniform growth.
Correct establishment is critical during the first few weeks, helping the grass develop into a dense, resilient surface capable of withstanding future use.
Automated Irrigation Installation
One of the biggest threats to newly established lawns is inconsistent watering.
Rather than relying on hoses or manual sprinklers, we installed a fully automated irrigation system tailored specifically to the property’s layout.
The system delivers:
- Even water distribution
- Consistent soil moisture
- Reduced water waste
- Healthier root development
- Improved drought resistance
- Reliable operation regardless of occupancy
The irrigation system also supplies the surrounding ornamental planting beds, ensuring the wider landscape receives the same level of professional care.
Wireless Smart Irrigation Scheduling
To maximise efficiency, the irrigation system operates using wireless scheduling technology.
The homeowner benefits from:
- Automatic scheduling
- Seasonal adjustments
- Improved efficiency
- Reduced maintenance
- Greater peace of mind
This allows watering times to be programmed around seasonal weather conditions, reducing unnecessary watering while maintaining ideal moisture levels.
This is particularly valuable for holiday homes where owners may be away for weeks at a time.
Robotic Mower Installation
To complement the irrigation system, we installed a professional robotic mower.
Unlike conventional weekly mowing, robotic mowing removes only tiny amounts of grass during each cycle.
This produces several advantages:
- Healthier grass plants
- Finer clippings returned naturally to the lawn
- Improved nutrient recycling
- Consistent presentation
- Reduced stress on the turf
- Fewer weeds
- Improved density
Instead of visible mowing stripes followed by rapid growth, the lawn maintains a perfectly manicured appearance every day.
The Results
Within just four weeks, the transformation was remarkable.
The lawn established evenly across the entire garden while the automated systems immediately began maintaining ideal growing conditions.
The surrounding planting also benefited from the new irrigation network, creating a landscape that looked balanced, healthy and professionally maintained.
Today the lawn is recognised as an award-winning lawn that complements the quality of this exceptional coastal property.
The client now enjoys:
- A dense, healthy lawn
- Rich green colour
- Uniform growth
- Minimal manual maintenance
- Automated watering
- Automated mowing
- Professional presentation throughout the season
- Improved long-term lawn health
Ongoing Professional Maintenance
Although automation dramatically reduces maintenance requirements, even the best lawn benefits from expert care.
To maintain championship-quality standards, we continue to visit every six weeks.
During these visits we monitor:
- Lawn health
- Nutrient levels
- Seasonal fertilisation
- Weed control
- Disease prevention
- Irrigation performance
- Robotic mower optimisation
- Overall presentation
This proactive approach allows us to identify small issues before they become costly problems while ensuring the lawn continues to perform at the highest possible standard.
This project demonstrates that achieving an exceptional lawn isn’t simply about installing new turf.
Long-term success depends upon combining:
- Professional lawn establishment
- Intelligent irrigation
- Automated mowing
- Ongoing expert maintenance
