Response within 24 hours
A great lawn starts below the surface, especially in SE24 where gardens can vary from compact courtyards to generous family plots. We install new lawns for properties around Brockwell Park and close to Herne Hill station, creating a smooth, even finish that looks right from day one. Whether you’re replacing tired grass or reshaping a garden after building work, we’ll set the levels and drainage properly. Choose premium turf for instant impact or seeding for a cost-effective option.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with narrow side access, stepped paths and established borders. We plan deliveries and barrow routes to protect paving, planting and paintwork, and we keep disruption low for busy households. If you’re on the Dulwich, Brixton or Tulse Hill side, we’ll match the lawn specification to how you use the garden—pets, play, entertaining or low-maintenance. The result is a lawn that fits the property and the way you live.
Our process covers site preparation, removal of debris, grading, topsoil installation, turf supply and turf laying, plus crisp edging to frame beds and paths. We’ll advise on watering, first cuts and feeding, and can return for aftercare visits if you’d like ongoing support. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, tidy working practices and consistent results. You’ll also get workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We regularly carry out lawn installation in London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark, where soil can range from compacted ground to heavier clay that needs careful preparation. Access can be tight on streets near the Herne Hill Velodrome and around Denmark Hill, so we plan parking, deliveries and waste removal to minimise hassle. We also factor in shade from mature trees and boundary walls common to period homes. Every lawn is installed with levels, drainage and edging tailored to the site.

Costs depend on garden size, access, and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts around £35–£60 per m², while full preparation with topsoil, grading and waste removal can take it to £60–£110 per m². Seeding is usually cheaper, often £15–£35 per m², but takes longer to establish. We’ll survey and provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most turf lawns are installed in 1–2 days for an average Herne Hill garden once the area is cleared. Larger gardens or those needing significant excavation, levelling, topsoil import or drainage adjustments may take 2–4 days. Seeding can be completed quickly, but establishment typically takes 6–12 weeks depending on season, watering and foot traffic. Weather and access for materials can also affect timings.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission because it’s soft landscaping. However, rules can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly or affecting drainage toward public land. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on best practice for runoff and boundaries, keeping work aligned with local expectations.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence in the preparation, levels, edging and installation quality. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, weather and aftercare, so we provide clear guidance to maximise success and will return to inspect any concerns early on. If an issue relates to installation rather than maintenance, we’ll put it right promptly.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, ornamental finer-blade turf, and tougher mixes suited to pets and frequent use. If you prefer seeding, we offer blends for shade, wear tolerance and drought resilience. For edging, popular choices include clean spade-cut edges, steel edging, brick-on-edge and stone setts to suit period properties. We’ll recommend the best option based on light levels, soil condition and how you use the garden.
