Balham gardens are made for living—especially around Bedford Hill and the streets off Balham High Road where outdoor space is at a premium. Our artificial grass installations replace patchy lawns with a neat, hard-wearing surface that stays green through every season. Whether you need a small courtyard refresh or a full lawn replacement, we create a finish that looks realistic and feels comfortable underfoot. We also build in the right drainage so your garden stays usable after heavy rain.
In SW12 you’ll often find Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions with narrow side access and stepped levels. We’re used to working in Balham Hill and Nightingale gardens where ground levels, old paths and mixed sub-bases can cause uneven lawns. Our team plans the build-up properly—excavation, compacted sub-base and a smooth laying course—so the turf sits flat and drains well. The result is a lawn that suits busy households and looks sharp from the kitchen or patio doors.
We start with a site visit to measure, check levels and discuss how you’ll use the space—pets, play, entertaining or low-maintenance letting. Then we prepare the base, install edging, lay quality turf and power-brush for a natural finish. Every installation is completed with care for neighbouring boundaries and clean-up at the end of each day. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, dependable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on workmanship for peace of mind.
Balham gardens can have compacted clay pockets and uneven levels, especially in older plots near Clapham South and Tooting Bec Common edges. We design the sub-base and falls to move water away from the house and prevent pooling. Access and parking can be tight around Balham station and residential permit zones, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our approach suits Wandsworth property styles and keeps the site tidy for neighbours and shared pathways.

Costs in Balham typically range from around £70–£120 per m² supplied and installed, depending on turf grade, access and how much groundwork is needed. Smaller gardens can sit at the higher end due to fixed set-up costs. If you need extra excavation, drainage solutions, or new edging, allow more. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit so you can compare like-for-like.
Most domestic lawns in SW12 take 1–2 days from excavation to final brush-in, with larger or more complex gardens taking 3–5 days. Timescales depend on access (narrow side returns are common), how much old lawn and soil must be removed, and whether we’re adding drainage, steps or extensive edging. We’ll confirm a schedule in advance and keep you updated if weather affects groundwork.
Artificial grass in a rear garden is usually permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, flats with communal gardens, or if you’re changing levels significantly or affecting drainage to neighbouring land. If your property is a mansion conversion or has management company rules, we’ll flag that early. We also advise on responsible drainage so water doesn’t run onto pavements or adjoining plots.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as lifting seams, poor fixing, or settlement caused by incorrect base preparation. Turf products also come with manufacturer warranties (length varies by range) covering UV stability and material defects. To keep everything valid, we install to specification, use the correct sub-base and adhesives, and provide simple aftercare guidance for brushing and cleaning.
We offer a range of quality turf options, from soft, child-friendly piles to tougher, shorter fibres suited to pets and high footfall. Popular choices include natural-looking mixed green tones, thatch layers for realism, and denser piles for a plush feel. We can also add shock-pad underlay for play areas, plus edging options such as aluminium, timber or hidden concrete haunching. We’ll recommend the best match for your garden use and budget.
