If your garden near Camberwell Green is patchy, uneven or waterlogged, a new lawn can transform it fast. Fine Landscaping installs premium turf or seed lawns across SE5 with careful preparation and tidy finishing. We’re used to the mix of front gardens, rear patios and shared access found around Denmark Hill. Expect neat edges, level ground and a lawn that’s ready to enjoy.
Camberwell’s Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces often have compact gardens, shaded corners and worn paths where grass struggles. Modern apartments can bring communal lawns and courtyard spaces that need robust turf and clean edging. We tailor the build-up of topsoil and the grading to suit each plot, whether you’re close to King’s College Hospital or on a quieter residential street. The aim is simple: a lawn that drains well and grows evenly.
Our process starts with site preparation: clearing debris, improving levels, and setting falls away from buildings. We add quality topsoil where needed, grade for smoothness, then lay fresh turf or offer a seeding option for larger areas and budgets. Edging is installed to keep borders crisp and stop lawns creeping into beds. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear workmanship standards, and aftercare guidance that helps your lawn establish strongly.
We regularly carry out lawn installation in London Borough of Southwark, where gardens can have compact access, basement lightwells, and mixed soil from past building works. Around Denmark Hill station, parking and loading can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for shade from mature trees and neighbouring walls, selecting turf varieties and soil improvements accordingly. The result is a lawn that suits Camberwell’s property styles and day-to-day use.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide in SE5, turf installation commonly ranges from about £45–£90 per m² including preparation, topsoil where required, and laying. Seeding can be lower, often £20–£45 per m², but takes longer to establish. Extra works such as heavy excavation, drainage fixes, or extensive edging will increase the overall price.
Most turf lawns are installed in 1–2 days for an average rear garden, with immediate visual results. Larger plots, poor levels, or significant site preparation (removing old turf, rubble, or compacted ground) can extend the job to 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to install but needs several weeks to establish before regular use. Weather, access for materials, and drying time for soil also affect the schedule.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission because it’s soft landscaping. Restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works change levels significantly near boundaries or affect drainage. If you’re altering hardstanding, adding drainage connections, or working close to protected trees, additional rules may apply. We’ll flag likely requirements and help you stay compliant before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the installed lawn area, covering issues such as poor grading, edge failures, or installation defects attributable to our work. Turf and seed are living materials, so establishment depends on correct watering, mowing and avoiding heavy use early on. We supply clear aftercare instructions and can arrange follow-up visits. Problems caused by drought, pests, pets, or neglect aren’t covered.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options for gardens with limited sun. For budget or large areas, we also offer seeding with appropriate grass mixes. Edging choices include steel, aluminium, brick, timber, or clean-cut spade edging depending on the look you want and mowing needs. We’ll advise based on foot traffic, soil condition, and how you plan to use the space.
