A great lawn starts below the surface, especially in Bermondsey where gardens can be compact and heavily used. Whether you’re near Bermondsey Street or walking distance from Maltby Street Market, we create a smooth, even base and a crisp edge line. Choose premium turf for instant impact or a seeding option for a lower-cost, longer-term approach. Every installation is finished neatly, ready for watering and light use.
We regularly work on converted warehouses with courtyard gardens, Victorian terraces with narrow side access, and modern apartments with shared outdoor spaces. Around London Bridge and Tower Bridge, we often manage tight logistics, timed deliveries and careful waste removal. Our team plans the job so your neighbours, communal areas and pathways are respected. The result is a lawn that suits the property style and how you actually live outdoors.
Our process covers site preparation, grading for good drainage, quality topsoil, turf supply and professional turf laying. We set levels to meet patios and paths cleanly, then add edging to keep lines tidy and reduce creep into borders. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance for watering, first mow and feeding, plus optional follow-up visits. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and consistent results.
The Bermondsey area often has mixed ground conditions from historic building works and compacted sub-bases. Access can be restricted around SE1 and SE16, so we plan smaller loads, barrow routes and delivery timings. We also factor in Southwark parking controls and considerate working hours for dense streets and apartment blocks. This approach keeps the job efficient while protecting communal areas and finishes.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from about £45–£90 per m² including preparation, topsoil and laying. Seeding can be lower, often around £20–£45 per m², but needs more time to establish. Extra works such as removing old turf, improving drainage or adding edging can affect the total.
Most Bermondsey lawn installations are completed in 1–2 days for small to medium gardens, including preparation, grading and turf laying. Larger areas or sites with difficult access (such as courtyard routes in converted warehouses) can take 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to install but takes longer to look established. Weather, soil condition and any drainage improvements are the main factors that change timings.
In most cases, installing a lawn is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s classed as normal garden work. However, restrictions can apply in conservation areas, listed buildings, or where changes affect drainage or shared communal spaces. If your property is managed by a freeholder or has estate rules, you may also need consent. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you check requirements in the London Borough of Southwark.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering correct installation methods such as levels, edging finishes and turf laying standards. Living materials can be affected by watering, weather, pets and heavy use, so turf and seed establishment isn’t identical to a hardscape guarantee. That said, we set you up for success with clear aftercare instructions and can advise on remedial steps if any areas struggle during establishment.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, or shade-tolerant options where buildings limit sunlight. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend mixes for wear, drought tolerance or faster germination. For edging, popular choices include steel edging for crisp lines, treated timber for softer borders, or existing paving edges tidied and reset. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, foot traffic, pets and how you want the lawn to look year-round.
