A great lawn changes how your whole garden feels, whether you’re near Greenwich Park or down by Maze Hill. Fine Landscaping installs lawns that are level, well-drained and built to thrive in SE10 conditions. Choose premium turf for an instant finish, or opt for seeding where you want a longer-term, cost-effective result. Every job includes proper ground preparation, not a quick roll-out.
Greenwich homes vary from Georgian townhouses and Victorian villas to modern waterfront apartments with compact courtyards and terraces. That mix brings different challenges: shaded rear gardens, tight side access, and awkward levels around patios and paths. We tailor the build-up—topsoil depth, grading and edging—so the lawn suits how you use the space. If you’re in Blackheath, Deptford or Charlton, we’ll plan deliveries and access to keep disruption low.
Our process is straightforward: clear and prepare the site, improve the soil, grade for smooth levels and drainage, then lay turf or seed with crisp edging. We use quality turf supply and proven installation methods so seams knit quickly and the surface stays even. You’ll get clear aftercare guidance for watering, mowing and feeding in the crucial first weeks. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the Royal Borough of Greenwich often have mixed ground, from compacted subsoil to builder’s rubble in newer plots. Parking and delivery timing can be tricky around SE10, especially near busy routes and controlled bays, so we plan logistics in advance. We also account for shade and leaf fall from mature trees near Greenwich Park, adjusting turf choice and aftercare. Where access is tight, we use smaller loads and protect existing paving and thresholds.

Costs for lawn installation in Greenwich typically range from £25–£45 per m² for turf laying on a well-prepared base, and £12–£25 per m² for seeding. If the area needs clearance, extra topsoil, levelling, or drainage improvements, budgets often rise to £45–£80+ per m². Access, waste removal, edging details and the turf grade you choose all influence the final figure.
Most turf installations take 1–2 days for an average rear garden once access and materials are organised. Seeding usually takes a similar time on site, but the lawn needs longer to establish before heavy use. Timescales can extend if we’re doing significant site preparation, importing topsoil, correcting levels, or working around restricted access in Greenwich. Weather also plays a part, particularly for seeding and initial watering.
Lawn installation in the Royal Borough of Greenwich is usually permitted 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 listed property setting. If your home is near heritage-sensitive areas, we’ll flag any considerations early. We can also advise on practical compliance, such as managing runoff and keeping work within your boundary.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation issues such as poor grading, inadequate base preparation, or edging failures when maintained as advised. Living materials like turf and seed are affected by weather, watering and wear, so we also give a clear aftercare plan to maximise establishment. If any settling or minor defects appear early on, we’ll assess and recommend the right remedy quickly.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options where light is limited. For seeding, we offer blends suited to play areas, low-maintenance gardens, or a finer finish, depending on how you’ll use the space. Edging can be cut-in natural edges, steel edging for crisp lines, or discreet paving restraints. We’ll help you choose based on soil, sun levels and the look of your garden.
