If your lawn is patchy, uneven or constantly waterlogged, a new lawn can transform how you use the garden. We deliver Lawn Installation in New Malden with careful groundwork, quality turf supply and crisp edging. Homeowners around New Malden High Street and Manor Park often ask for lawns that look neat year-round and stand up to family use. We can also offer a seeding option where budgets or access make turf less practical.
New Malden’s mix of 1930s semis, Edwardian houses and modern apartments means gardens vary from long rear plots to compact courtyards. We regularly work across KT3 and nearby Raynes Park and Worcester Park, adapting the build-up to the space and the soil. Where older gardens have tired ground or heavy clay, we improve levels and drainage rather than laying turf on top and hoping for the best. The result is a lawn that establishes faster and stays flatter.
Our process covers site preparation, removal of debris, grading for a true finish, and adding screened topsoil where needed. We lay fresh turf with tight joints, then roll and water-in so it roots quickly, and we leave clear aftercare guidance for the first few weeks. If you prefer seed, we prepare the seedbed properly and advise on watering and mowing schedules. Local homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable timings and a finish that looks intentional, not rushed.
Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, gardens often have compact access, shared driveways and limited parking, especially near busy streets and local shops. We plan deliveries and turf laying to minimise disruption and keep materials tidy on site. Soil can vary from tired, compacted ground in older plots to thin top layers around newer builds, so we adjust topsoil depth and grading accordingly. We also factor in shade from fences and extensions to help your lawn establish evenly.

Costs in New Malden typically range from about £35–£70 per m² for turf installation, depending on access, removal of old lawn, and how much topsoil and levelling is required. Seeding can be cheaper at roughly £15–£35 per m², but it needs more time and aftercare. Smaller gardens in KT3 may cost more per m² due to set-up and waste disposal.
Most turf jobs take 1–2 days for an average rear garden, including site preparation, grading, topsoil and laying. Larger plots or gardens needing significant levelling can take 2–4 days. Seeding is usually installed in a day, but it needs several weeks to establish before regular use. Weather, access for materials, and how much old turf needs removing all affect timing.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s standard garden improvement work. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, working near protected trees, or altering drainage in a way that could affect neighbours. In parts of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, there may also be guidance for works near highways or shared access. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise before starting.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty on the installed build-up and finish, including issues caused by poor preparation or incorrect laying. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, mowing and weather, so establishment is supported with clear aftercare instructions and follow-up advice. If any areas fail due to installation-related problems, we’ll return to inspect and put it right.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes where gardens get less sun. If you prefer seed, we’ll recommend a blend suited to use, soil type and watering routine. For edging, popular choices include flush spade-cut edges, metal edging for crisp lines, or block/paving edges to match patios and paths. We’ll help you choose based on how you use the garden and maintenance preferences.
