A great lawn changes how your garden feels—brighter, neater, and easier to enjoy. Our team installs new lawns across KT1 and KT2, from compact courtyards to generous family gardens. If you’re near Kingston Bridge or shopping by the Bentall Centre, we can plan access and deliveries to keep disruption low. You’ll get a lawn that looks sharp from day one and establishes properly over the weeks that follow.
Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses, and modern waterfront apartments, each with different garden layouts and constraints. In Surbiton and New Malden, we often work with long rear gardens that need careful levelling to avoid puddling. Riverside plots can call for smarter drainage and robust turf choices, especially where shade or foot traffic is higher. We tailor the build-up so the lawn performs as well as it looks.
Every installation starts with proper site preparation: clearing, cultivating, grading, and adding quality topsoil where needed. We supply and lay fresh turf for an instant result, or offer a seeding option when you want a slower, cost-effective establishment. Edging is set cleanly against beds, paths, and patios for a defined line that’s easy to maintain. Homeowners choose us for dependable scheduling, tidy working practices, and a finish backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Gardens across Kingston can vary from sandy pockets to heavier, compacted soils, especially after building work. We adjust cultivation depth, topsoil specification, and levelling to suit the ground and drainage. Access and parking can be tight near busy routes and shopping areas, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider shade from mature trees and neighbouring buildings to recommend turf or seeding that will thrive.

Costs vary with access, ground condition, and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation (including preparation, topsoil where required, and laying) often falls around £45–£90 per m². Seeding is usually lower, typically £20–£45 per m², but takes longer to establish. Steep slopes, poor drainage, or extensive removal of old lawn can increase the overall price.
Most lawns are installed in 1–2 days once the site is ready, with larger gardens taking 2–4 days. Preparation often takes longer than laying, especially if we’re improving levels, adding topsoil, or addressing drainage. Turf gives an instant green finish, but it needs 2–3 weeks of careful watering and light use while it roots. Seeding typically needs 6–12 weeks before regular use.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. Rules can come into play if you’re significantly altering levels, changing drainage run-off, or working near protected trees or conservation areas. If your project sits close to boundaries, shared drains, or street-facing spaces, we’ll advise on practical considerations and check any relevant council guidance. We aim to keep everything compliant and straightforward.
Yes. Our installations are covered by a 10-year workmanship warranty on the preparation and laying work, including levels, edging installation, and the build-up we create. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, weather, and aftercare, so we provide clear guidance to protect your investment. If any issues arise from our workmanship, we’ll put them right. We also offer optional maintenance support.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf for play, fine ornamental turf for a smarter finish, and shade-tolerant options where light is limited. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend mixes for durability, appearance, and soil type, including rye-based blends for quicker establishment. Edging can be cut-in for a clean line, or installed using metal, brick, or timber depending on your garden style. We’ll help you choose based on use, budget, and maintenance preferences.
