If your garden has turned patchy, uneven or muddy, a new lawn can transform it quickly. We provide lawn installation east dulwich area homeowners rely on, whether you’re near Lordship Lane or a short walk from Dulwich Park. Expect careful groundwork, quality turf supply and crisp edging for a clean, modern look. We also offer a seeding option where timing and access suit.
East Dulwich’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with compact gardens, shaded corners and well-used paths. We plan the layout to suit family life, pets and entertaining, creating a lawn that’s practical as well as attractive. Where gardens back onto neighbouring boundaries, we keep levels tidy and drainage sensible. Our team is based in Norbury, so we’re typically on site in around 20 minutes.
Our process starts with site preparation: clearing, improving the base, adding screened topsoil and grading for smooth levels. We then lay premium turf (or seed when preferred), finish with edging, and provide clear aftercare so the lawn establishes strongly. We use proven methods and quality materials to reduce sinking, scalping and dry patches. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy work and a result that looks right from day one.
We’re used to working across the London Borough of Southwark, where gardens can have compact access routes and limited on-street parking. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, particularly around busier stretches near Peckham Rye. Soil can vary from tired, compacted ground to heavier clay pockets, so we adjust topsoil depth and grading accordingly. Period properties also mean we take extra care around existing paving, steps and boundary walls.

Costs vary with size, access and how much groundwork is needed. As a guide, turf installation commonly sits around £45–£90 per m² including preparation, topsoil, turf and laying. Seeding can be lower, often £18–£35 per m², but takes longer to establish. If levels need correcting, old lawn removal, or drainage improvements, budget extra. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most SE22 gardens can be completed in 1–2 days for turf, including preparation, topsoil and laying. Larger gardens or those needing significant regrading, removal of old turf, or additional edging may take 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to install but needs several weeks to establish before heavy use. Weather, access through the property, and delivery timing can also affect the schedule.
A new lawn is usually classed as permitted garden work and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to neighbouring land, or working within a conservation area or on a listed building. Southwark guidance may also influence how you manage runoff and waste. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise if checks or permissions are sensible.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installed landscaping elements we control, such as preparation, grading and edging. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, weather and aftercare, so we provide clear instructions and support to help establishment. If there’s an issue linked to our installation methods, we’ll return to inspect and put it right. We also recommend seasonal maintenance for long-term performance.
You can choose between premium turf for instant results or a seeding option for flexibility and budget. We’ll advise on turf types suited to family use, pets, shade or high footfall, and we can shape the lawn to work with patios and borders. Edging options include steel, brick, timber or a clean spade-cut edge. We’ll also recommend topsoil depth and grading to suit your garden’s drainage and levels.
