Forest Hill gardens deserve a lawn that stays smart through every season, whether you’re near Forest Hill station or walking distance from the Horniman Museum. Our artificial grass installations replace patchy turf with a clean, even surface that’s built for daily use. We create tidy borders, smooth transitions to patios, and practical drainage so the lawn performs after heavy rain. The result is a garden that looks consistently green without constant mowing.
Many homes across SE23 are Victorian and Edwardian houses, often with long rear gardens and side returns. These period plots can suffer from shade, worn pathways and uneven ground, especially where families and pets use the lawn most. We’re used to working with period conversions and compact access routes, protecting existing paving and planting as we go. If you’re in Sydenham, Honor Oak or Dulwich, we’ll recommend a turf pile and density that matches how you live outdoors.
Our process starts with a site visit, accurate measuring and a clear plan for levels, falls and edging. We remove the old lawn, build a stable sub-base, add drainage solutions where needed, then install quality turf with secure joins and crisp lines. Every installation is finished to be child-safe and pet-friendly, with tidy clean-up included. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, workmanship you can see, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As artificial grass contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re familiar with mixed soil conditions, shaded gardens and the need for dependable drainage. Access can be tight around period terraces, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and protection for hallways and side passages. Parking restrictions near Forest Hill station can affect logistics, so we schedule efficiently and keep disruption low. We also match edging and finishes to the character of Victorian and Edwardian properties.

Costs in Forest Hill typically range from around £70–£120 per m² supplied and installed, depending on turf quality, access, and groundwork. If your existing lawn needs significant excavation, levelling, or extra drainage, budgets can rise to £120–£160 per m². Smaller gardens may have a minimum charge due to setup and waste removal. We’ll survey your SE23 garden and provide a detailed breakdown.
Most residential installations take 1–3 days, depending on garden size and how much preparation is needed. A straightforward lawn replacement can often be completed in a day, while uneven ground, poor drainage, or complex edging around beds and patios may extend the job. Weather can affect groundwork and curing times for some edging methods. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site visit.
In most cases, artificial grass in a back garden is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering levels significantly or changing drainage in a way that could affect neighbours. If the work is part of a larger landscaping scheme, it’s worth checking early. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise what to confirm with Lewisham Council.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our artificial grass installations, covering workmanship and installation-related issues such as lifting edges, joint separation, or unevenness caused by sub-base failure (subject to correct use and normal wear). The turf itself also comes with a manufacturer warranty, which varies by product. We’ll explain what’s covered, how to maintain the surface, and how to raise any concerns quickly if needed.
You can choose from different pile heights, densities and colour blends to suit your garden and how it’s used. Popular options include soft, child-friendly turf for play areas, hard-wearing pet-friendly grass for high traffic, and premium “real lawn” mixes for a natural look. We can also add shockpad underlay, decorative edging, and infill choices for stability and drainage. We’ll bring samples and recommend the best fit for your space.
