A great lawn starts below the surface, especially in SE11 where gardens can be compact and heavily used. We deliver a complete lawn installation service across Kennington, from site preparation and grading to turf supply and neat edging. Whether you’re near Kennington Park or walking distance from The Oval, we’ll leave you with an even, healthy finish. Choose turf laying for instant impact or a seeding option for a tailored, longer-term result.
Kennington’s Georgian squares, Victorian terraces and mansion blocks often come with enclosed rear gardens, basement lightwells and shared access routes. That means materials and waste must be managed carefully, with minimal disruption to neighbours. We’re used to working around tight side returns, steps and restricted storage, and we plan deliveries accordingly. If you’re in Oval, Vauxhall or Elephant & Castle, we’ll recommend the right lawn build-up for your garden’s use and sunlight.
Our process is straightforward: remove failed turf and debris, improve levels, add quality topsoil where needed, then lay fresh turf or seed with the correct aftercare plan. We focus on correct falls and firming to prevent dips, scalping and waterlogging. You’ll get clear guidance on watering, first cuts and feeding, plus ongoing support if you have questions. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, tidy sites and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
We tailor lawn installation in London Borough of Lambeth to the realities of Kennington gardens: variable made-ground, compact plots and frequent shade from tall buildings. Access can be narrow behind terraces, so we plan barrow routes, protect floors and keep deliveries efficient. We also factor in local parking controls around Kennington tube station and nearby streets to avoid delays. The result is a smoother install and a lawn built to cope with London footfall.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation in the lawn installation Kennington area often falls around £45–£90 per m² including preparation, topsoil where required and laying. Seeding is usually lower, roughly £20–£45 per m², but needs longer to establish. Removal of old turf, significant levelling or drainage improvements can increase the overall price.
Most turf lawns are installed in 1–2 days for an average Kennington rear garden, including preparation and edging. Larger plots, difficult access in mansion blocks, or extensive levelling can push this to 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to install, but the establishment period is longer, typically 6–12 weeks before it looks fully filled in. Weather, soil moisture and delivery scheduling also affect timings.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s considered standard garden landscaping. However, there are exceptions: listed buildings, conservation areas, tree protection orders, or works that alter levels significantly near boundaries or drainage routes. If you’re in a managed block, you may also need freeholder consent. We’ll flag any likely issues early and can help you check relevant Lambeth guidance.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our lawn installations, covering issues such as poor laying, incorrect levels or edging failures caused by installation defects. Living materials still depend on correct aftercare, so the warranty doesn’t cover neglect, extreme weather, pet damage, or prolonged drought without watering. We supply clear aftercare instructions and can arrange follow-up visits to keep your lawn performing well.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes for gardens affected by tall buildings. If you prefer seeding, we offer durable rye-based blends and ornamental mixes depending on use and sunlight. For edging, popular choices include steel edging, brick-on-edge, stone setts, or clean-cut spade edges against borders and paths. We’ll assess drainage, light and foot traffic to recommend the best combination.
