If your lawn is patchy, uneven or waterlogged, a full installation gives you a reliable reset. We install new lawns across SE15, including gardens near Nunhead Cemetery and Nunhead Green. Our team prepares the ground properly, adds quality topsoil where needed, and finishes with precise turf laying or seeding. The result is a lawn that looks sharp and performs well through the seasons.
Nunhead’s gardens often sit behind Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period cottages, where access can be tight and levels vary from plot to plot. We’re used to working with narrow side returns, stepped patios and long, slender lawns that need careful grading. Whether you’re close to Peckham, Brockley or East Dulwich, we tailor the build-up to your garden’s use—kids, pets, entertaining or a low-maintenance finish. That local experience helps us avoid common problems like dips, scalping and poor drainage.
Our process is straightforward: site preparation, removal of old turf and debris, grading for smooth levels, then topsoil and turf supply with professional laying. If you prefer, we can install a seeded lawn for larger areas or where timing allows. We finish with clean edging lines and provide clear aftercare instructions for watering and first cuts. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, dependable scheduling and a finish backed by a 10-year warranty.
We work across the lawn installation Nunhead area and understand the practicalities of SE15 streets, including parking and access for materials. In the lawn installation in London Borough of Southwark, gardens can have compact footprints, mature tree roots and mixed soil profiles, so we adjust topsoil depth and grading accordingly. We also plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption for neighbours. The aim is a level, durable lawn that suits how Nunhead households actually use their gardens.

Costs vary with access, removal of the existing lawn, and how much topsoil and levelling is required. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from £35–£70 per m², including preparation and laying. Seeding can be lower, often £15–£35 per m², but takes longer to establish. If significant excavation, drainage improvements or extensive edging is needed, budgets can rise accordingly.
Most turf jobs are completed in 1–2 days for an average rear garden, with immediate visual results. Larger plots, difficult access, or extra work such as removing old bases, importing topsoil, or creating new levels can extend this to 3–5 days. Seeding is quicker to install but needs several weeks to establish before heavy use. Weather and ground moisture can also affect scheduling.
A new lawn is usually classed as permitted garden work and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can come into play if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage routes, or working near protected trees or boundaries. Some properties may have specific conditions, especially with older homes or conservation considerations. We’ll flag any potential issues early and help you check Southwark requirements where relevant.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty on the installed base and preparation standards, including grading, topsoil build-up and edging where specified. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, weather and aftercare, so we provide clear guidance to maximise establishment. If any issues arise from our installation methods, we’ll inspect promptly and put things right in line with the warranty terms.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, or shade-tolerant options for gardens affected by trees and buildings. If you prefer, we offer a seeding option using quality grass mixes suited to wear levels and sun exposure. For edging, popular choices include neat spade-cut edges, metal edging, brick soldier courses or timber borders. We’ll recommend the best combination for your garden’s look, budget and maintenance preferences.
