A great lawn changes how your garden feels and how you use it, whether it’s for children, entertaining or simply better kerb appeal. We install new lawns across SE23, from plots near Honor Oak Park station to gardens around One Tree Hill. Expect careful ground preparation, quality turf or seed, and neat edging that frames beds and paths. The result is a lawn that looks crisp from day one and settles in properly.
Honor Oak’s hilly streets and varied plot shapes mean lawns often need more than a quick roll of turf. We regularly work on Victorian terraces with compact rear gardens, Edwardian houses with longer plots, and 1930s semis where levels and drainage can be inconsistent. If you’re near Forest Hill or Brockley, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low. Our approach suits both small courtyards and wider family gardens.
We start with a site survey, then strip out old turf, weeds and rubble before grading for smooth levels and correct falls. Topsoil is added where needed, then we lay fresh turf with tight joints or offer a seeding option for larger areas and budget-led projects. Edges are cut sharp, and we leave you with clear watering and mowing guidance for the first few weeks. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a finish that stays even.
Honor Oak gardens can sit on changing levels, with clay-heavy ground in places and shaded corners near mature trees. We factor in drainage, compaction and access constraints common to terraced streets, arranging turf supply and loading with minimal mess. If parking is restricted, we plan drop-offs and barrow routes in advance. This local-first approach makes lawn installation in the Honor Oak area smoother and more predictable.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from £35–£70 per m² including preparation, topsoil where required and laying. Seeding is often £12–£30 per m² but takes longer to establish and may need more aftercare. Steep gardens, heavy clay, or lots of removal can increase the total.
Most turf lawns are installed in 1–2 days for an average rear garden, with immediate visual impact. Larger plots or those needing significant excavation, extra topsoil, or regrading can take 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to lay (often a day) but typically needs 6–12 weeks to establish before heavy use. Weather, access and drying time for prepared ground can affect scheduling.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to neighbouring properties, or working near protected trees. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra checks may apply. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on best practice for compliance in Lewisham.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty covering installation quality, including levels, edging and turf laying standards. Living materials are affected by watering, weather and foot traffic, so turf and seed establishment isn’t guaranteed in the same way as hard landscaping. We provide clear aftercare instructions and can return for follow-up visits if you’d like ongoing maintenance support during establishment.
You can choose premium turf for fast results, or a seeding option for larger areas and tailored mixes. We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, or shade-tolerant solutions for gardens with tree cover. Edging can be finished with crisp spade-cut lines or installed edging restraints where needed. We’ll recommend the best option based on sunlight, drainage, use and your preferred look.
