That patch of tired earth behind your Battersea terrace deserves better. Whether you're dreaming of a cricket-perfect lawn for the kids or simply want grass that survives London life, getting the foundations right makes all the difference.

Installing a lawn in SW11 means working with everything from narrow Victorian garden plots to modern apartment courtyards. Clay-heavy soil, shade from neighbouring properties, and the occasional fox highway all play their part. Success comes from selecting turf varieties that actually thrive in inner London conditions, not just whatever's cheapest at the garden centre.
Ground preparation takes centre stage when laying new turf. Compacted earth gets rotavated, drainage issues resolved before they become puddles, and nutrient-rich topsoil spread to the perfect depth. Fresh rolls arrive early morning, laid tight like a jigsaw puzzle. Within hours, that bare patch transforms into an instant garden ready for its first gentle watering.
Twenty years solving Battersea's trickiest garden puzzles means knowing which corners stay boggy after rain and where next door's sycamore creates permanent shade. Local knowledge paired with professional grade materials – that's how lawns stay green through heatwaves and survive enthusiastic football practice.
