If your garden near Hither Green station needs a fresh start, a new lawn can transform how you use the space. We install lawns for SE13 homeowners who want a clean, even finish for play, pets, and entertaining. Whether you’re upgrading a tired patch or completing a full garden makeover, we’ll recommend turf or seed to suit your lifestyle. Work is planned to minimise disruption and keep paths and patios clean.
Hither Green’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often comes with long rear gardens and side returns that require careful access planning. We’re used to working around narrow passageways, existing paving, and established borders. Many clients around Mountsfield Park want a lawn that looks smart year-round without constant patching. Our local experience helps us choose the right preparation depth and finish for these property styles.
Our process covers site preparation, grading, quality topsoil, turf supply and professional turf laying, with a seeding option where appropriate. We form crisp edges to borders and paths, then provide clear aftercare guidance for watering and first cuts. You’ll get a written scope of works and transparent recommendations before we start. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship, and lawns that bed in evenly.
Gardens across the London Borough of Lewisham can have compacted subsoil and shaded areas, especially near mature trees. In Hither Green and nearby Lee and Catford, access and parking can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep things smooth. We also allow for typical rear-garden levels and older drainage layouts found in period housing. The result is a lawn build-up that suits the site, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Costs depend on garden size, access, and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from £35–£70 per m² including ground preparation, topsoil and laying. Seeding can be lower, often £15–£35 per m², but may need more aftercare and time to establish. Extra works such as removing old turf, improving drainage or adding edging are priced separately after a site visit.
Most turf jobs take 1–2 days for an average rear garden once materials are on site. Larger gardens or those needing significant excavation, levelling, or drainage improvements can take 3–5 days. Seeding is usually quicker to install, but it takes longer to look established. Weather, access through terraces, and how much spoil needs removing all affect the programme, and we’ll confirm timings before booking.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s standard garden improvement work. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works involve significant changes to levels, drainage outfalls, or protected trees. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Lewisham before work begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installed build-up and edging where applicable, covering issues caused by incorrect installation such as poor levels or inadequate preparation. Living materials like turf and seed are affected by weather, watering and use, so establishment is supported by our aftercare guidance and optional follow-up visits. If any concerns arise early on, we respond quickly to inspect and advise.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf for a smarter finish, or shade-tolerant options for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend blends for play areas, pets, or low-maintenance coverage. For edging, popular choices include steel edging, brick-on-edge, timber sleepers, or clean spade-cut edges to borders and paths. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, soil, and how you use the garden.
