Chelsea gardens demand a lawn that looks sharp and performs well under regular use. From compact courtyards near King’s Road to larger plots closer to Chelsea Physic Garden, we create a clean, even finish with crisp edging. Our team manages everything from removing tired turf to preparing a stable base for long-term results. You can choose premium turf laying or a seeding option to suit your budget and timeline.
Working across the Chelsea area, we’re used to the practicalities of Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments with shared garden spaces. Many properties have limited side access, basement lightwells, or delicate paving that needs protection during deliveries. We plan for tidy logistics, careful material handling and minimal disruption to neighbours. If you’re in South Kensington, Fulham or Knightsbridge, we’ll tailor the approach to your exact garden layout.
Our process is built around proper site preparation: weed control, soil improvement, grading for drainage, and high-quality topsoil where needed. We supply fresh turf from trusted growers, lay it with tight joints, and roll it for firm contact, or install seed with the right soil structure and protection. Every job includes clear aftercare guidance on watering, first mow and feeding, plus optional follow-up visits. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, transparent recommendations and a finish that stays level.
In the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, access and parking can be the biggest challenge, especially around SW3 and busy routes near Stamford Bridge. We schedule deliveries sensibly, protect communal hallways and paving, and use smaller loads where access is tight. Chelsea soils can vary from compacted sub-bases to tired, shallow beds over historic landscaping, so we test levels and improve structure with topsoil and conditioning. The result is a lawn that drains properly and looks crisp against period stonework and modern terraces.

Costs in Chelsea usually depend on access, removal of old turf, soil condition and the finish you choose. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from £35–£75 per m², including site preparation and laying. If significant excavation, extra topsoil, or drainage corrections are needed, budgets can rise to £80–£120 per m². Seeding can be lower per m², but takes longer to establish.
Most turf jobs take 1–2 days for an average Chelsea garden, with larger or more complex sites taking 3–5 days. Time is mainly affected by site preparation: removing old turf, bringing in topsoil, and grading levels for drainage. Turf gives an instant green finish, but needs 2–3 weeks of careful watering and light use. Seeding typically needs several weeks before regular use.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. However, rules can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees, shared spaces, or drainage arrangements. If you’re altering levels significantly or adding new drainage outlets, extra checks may be sensible. We review constraints during the survey and advise on any permissions needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as poor grading, inadequate base preparation, or edging failures where they result from our work. Living materials like turf and seed are affected by watering, weather, shade and pet use, so establishment success depends on aftercare. We give clear guidance and can arrange maintenance visits during the crucial first weeks to help the lawn root in properly.
We offer hard-wearing family turf, fine ornamental turf for a cleaner finish, and shade-tolerant choices for gardens with tall boundaries. If you prefer seeding, we can specify robust rye mixes for durability or finer blends for a softer look. Edging options include crisp spade-cut edges, metal edging for modern patios, or stone setts to match period paving. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing light, drainage and intended use.
