A great lawn changes how your garden looks and how you use it, from summer seating to children’s play. Our team installs lawns across SE3, including properties near Blackheath Common and Blackheath Village. Whether you’re replacing patchy grass or starting from bare soil after building work, we create a smooth, well-draining base. The result is a lawn that establishes quickly and stays presentable through the seasons.
Blackheath’s affluent village character and period streets bring their own challenges, from shaded courtyards to long rear gardens. We regularly work with Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions where levels, drainage and access need careful planning. If you’re close to Greenwich, Lee or Lewisham, we’ll tailor the turf type and preparation to suit footfall, pets and sunlight. Our approach keeps the lawn looking right alongside mature planting and traditional brick edging.
Every project starts with site preparation: clearing, cultivating and improving the soil structure with quality topsoil where needed. We then grade for a neat finish and sensible falls, supply fresh turf, and lay it tightly with clean edging lines—or offer a seeding option for larger areas and budget-led projects. You’ll receive clear aftercare guidance on watering, first cuts and feeding, plus ongoing support if you want seasonal lawn care. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and results that last.
In the Blackheath area, gardens can vary from free-draining sandy pockets to heavier, compacted soils after renovations. We adjust topsoil depth, grading and seeding mixes accordingly, and plan access for narrow side returns common around period homes. For properties in the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham, we also factor in parking and delivery timing so turf arrives fresh and can be laid promptly. Where mature trees create shade, we recommend turf varieties and aftercare that cope better with lower light.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation in Blackheath typically ranges from £35–£70 per m² including preparation, topsoil where required and laying. Seeding is often £15–£35 per m² but may need more time and follow-up care. Extra works such as significant levelling, drainage improvements or extensive edging can increase the overall price.
Most lawns are installed in 1–2 days once the area is cleared and accessible. Smaller gardens can often be completed in a day, while larger plots or sites needing extra grading, added topsoil or drainage can take 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to install but takes longer to establish, usually 6–12 weeks before heavy use. Weather, soil moisture and access for materials are the main factors.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s classed as normal garden landscaping. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees or alter drainage in a way that impacts neighbours. We’ll flag potential issues early and can advise on best practice for run-off and levels. If permissions or notifications are needed, we’ll help you understand the process.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installed lawn area, covering issues caused by poor preparation, incorrect grading or installation defects. Living materials can be affected by watering, mowing, pets, shade and extreme weather, so turf and seed establishment depends on following the aftercare guidance. If any concerns appear during the settling-in period, we’ll inspect promptly and recommend practical remedies. Optional maintenance visits are available for added peace of mind.
We supply a range of turf types, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf and shade-tolerant options for gardens with mature trees. If you prefer seeding, we can specify mixes for durability, drought tolerance or a finer finish depending on use. Edging can be formed with clean cut lines, existing brick, new timber edging, or metal edging for a crisp modern border. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing sunlight, drainage and how you’ll use the space.
