A great lawn changes how your garden feels—brighter, softer underfoot, and easier to use. Our team regularly installs new turf and seed lawns across SE14, including gardens near New Cross station and Deptford Park. Whether you’re replacing tired grass or starting from bare soil, we create a level, well-draining base for strong growth. Expect neat edges, clean lines and a finish that suits your outdoor space.
New Cross is a creative, lively neighbourhood with a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with compact rear gardens. These spaces can suffer from shade, heavy footfall and patchy ground after building works. We tailor lawn installation to your property layout, including narrow side returns and stepped access common around Brockley and Deptford. The result is a lawn that suits how you actually live—pets, children, entertaining or low-maintenance use.
Our process starts with site preparation: clearing, levelling, improving soil structure and setting correct falls. We add quality topsoil where needed, then install fresh turf or offer a seeding option for larger areas and longer-term establishment. Edging is set for crisp borders against beds, paths and patios, followed by practical aftercare guidance for watering, mowing and feeding. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham often have compact access, on-street parking limits and mixed ground from past renovations. Around Telegraph Hill and near Goldsmiths University, we frequently see shaded lawns and clay-leaning soils that need careful preparation and drainage-friendly grading. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption, and we choose turf/seed mixes that cope with local conditions. If access is tight, we bring the right kit and work in manageable stages.

Costs vary by size, access and ground condition. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from £35–£70 per m² including preparation and laying, while seeding can be around £15–£35 per m² with proper soil prep. If you need extra topsoil, levelling, or removal of old lawn and rubble, budgets rise accordingly. We’ll survey the garden and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most turf jobs take 1–2 days for an average New Cross rear garden, including clearing, grading, topsoil and laying. Larger gardens or those needing significant levelling, drainage improvements or multiple soil deliveries can take 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to install but takes longer to establish, typically 6–12 weeks before regular use. Weather, access and drying time for soil preparation also affect timescales.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s standard garden landscaping. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees or shared boundaries. If you’re adding significant drainage changes or altering levels near neighbouring properties, it’s wise to check. We flag any likely issues during the site visit and can advise on next steps.
Yes—our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty for the installed base, levels, and edging where specified. Turf and seed are living materials, so establishment depends on watering, mowing and weather, but we set you up for success with clear aftercare instructions. If any areas fail due to installation issues, we’ll put them right. We also offer optional follow-up visits for feeding and seasonal care.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend blends for durability, drought tolerance or low maintenance, depending on how you use the space. Edging options include steel, aluminium, treated timber, or clean-cut spade edging to suit period gardens. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, soil, pets/children and budget.
