If your garden has become patchy, lumpy or muddy, a new lawn can transform how you use it. We provide lawn installation lee green area homeowners rely on, from full site preparation through to neat edging. Working around the Lee Green crossroads and nearby SE12 streets, we plan deliveries and access so the job runs smoothly. Many clients also ask us to coordinate the lawn with planting beds and patio lines for a crisp finish.
Lee Green’s well-connected residential streets include Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and plenty of 1930s houses, often with long rear gardens. These plots can suffer from compacted soil, shade from mature boundaries, or uneven levels from previous landscaping. We tailor the build-up of topsoil and grading to suit how you want to use the space—play, entertaining, or a low-maintenance green view. We also work across nearby Blackheath and Hither Green when you need the same standard of finish.
Our process starts with removing debris, improving the base, and setting accurate levels for drainage and mowing. We then add quality topsoil, grade and consolidate, before turf supply and turf laying—or a seeding option where appropriate. Edges are cut cleanly against paths and borders, and we leave your garden tidy with clear watering and mowing guidance. Fine Landscaping is based around 30 minutes away, so ongoing support and aftercare visits are easy to arrange.
We regularly work in the London Borough of Lewisham and understand the mix of heavier ground, compacted sub-bases and shaded boundaries common in SE12 gardens. Access can be tight behind terraced homes, so we plan barrow routes, protect paving, and schedule turf deliveries to minimise disruption near Lee station and local shopping areas. Where parking is restricted, we organise loading and keep materials neatly contained. The result is a lawn that levels properly and drains as it should.

Costs vary with access, removal of old turf, and how much levelling and topsoil is needed. As a guide, turf lawn installation is often around £45–£90 per m², including preparation and laying. A seeding option can be lower, typically £20–£45 per m², but takes longer to establish. If you need significant grading, additional topsoil, or waste disposal, allow extra within the overall budget.
Most lawns in Lee Green are completed in 1–2 days for an average rear garden once access and waste removal are straightforward. Larger gardens, heavy re-grading, or substantial topsoil import can extend this to 3–5 days. Turf gives an instant green finish, while seeding requires extra time for germination and careful watering. Weather, delivery timing, and how quickly the ground can be dried and levelled also affect the schedule.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s considered standard garden improvement. However, restrictions can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to neighbouring properties, or working near protected trees. If your property is in a conservation area or has specific covenants, extra checks may be sensible. We’ll flag any potential issues early and advise on best practice for compliance and drainage.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installation elements we control, such as levels, edging integrity, and the build-up of the lawn base. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, weather, and ongoing care, so they’re covered through our aftercare guidance and an establishment period rather than a long-term guarantee. We’ll explain exactly what’s included and how to protect your new lawn.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf for a smarter finish, and shade-tolerant options where boundaries block light. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend blends suited to wear, pets, or lower maintenance. For edging, popular choices include crisp spade-cut edges, steel edging for clean lines, or brick/stone edging to match paths and patios. We’ll assess sun levels, drainage and usage to help you choose confidently.
