From compact courtyards near Paddington station to calmer gardens by Little Venice, a well-installed lawn changes how your outdoor space feels and functions. We create smooth, even lawns that drain properly and stand up to daily use. Our team manages everything from ground preparation to turf laying and edging. If you’re in W2, we’ll plan the job around access, neighbours and busy streets.
Paddington’s mix of stucco townhouses, mansion flats and modern apartments often means awkward access routes, raised terraces and shaded pockets. In Bayswater and Maida Vale, we regularly work with small rear gardens that need careful grading to avoid water sitting against walls. Where outdoor space is shared or overlooked, we focus on clean borders and tidy finishes. For balconies and podium gardens, we can advise on a seeding option where turf delivery is impractical.
Every lawn starts with proper site preparation: removing debris, improving levels, adding quality topsoil and compacting in layers. We then install fresh turf (or seed where suitable), finish with neat edging, and provide clear aftercare guidance for watering and first mowing. Fine Landscaping is trusted for consistent workmanship, punctual scheduling and transparent recommendations. Our approach to lawn installation Paddington area is built around long-lasting results, not quick fixes.
Gardens across the City of Westminster often sit over mixed made-ground, with compacted sub-bases from past works. We test levels and drainage, then adjust topsoil depth and grading to suit. Access and parking around Paddington Basin and W2 streets can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where gardens are shaded by tall buildings, we recommend turf types and aftercare that cope better with lower light.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. For many W2 gardens, turf installation with full preparation typically falls around £55–£110 per m². Seeding can be lower, often £25–£55 per m², but needs more time to establish. If excavation, drainage improvements, or significant levelling is required, budgets can rise. We provide a clear, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most turf installations take 1–2 days for small to medium Paddington gardens, including preparation, topsoil, grading and laying. Larger gardens or sites needing excavation, drainage work or extensive levelling may take 3–5 days. Seeding is quicker to install but takes longer to look “finished”, typically 6–12 weeks depending on weather and foot traffic. Access restrictions and delivery timing around W2 can also affect scheduling.
Lawn installation in City of Westminster is usually permitted development, as it’s a soft landscaping improvement. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect trees, boundaries, drainage routes or shared communal spaces. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on best practice for runoff and waste disposal. If permissions are needed, we help you understand the process before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which includes issues caused by installation faults such as poor grading, inadequate preparation or edging failures. Living materials like turf and seed depend on weather and aftercare, so establishment is supported with clear guidance on watering, mowing and feeding. If problems appear early, we’ll inspect promptly and recommend practical remedies. We aim for a lawn that settles evenly and stays stable long term.
We supply quality turf suited to how you’ll use the space, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental finishes, and more shade-tolerant mixes for enclosed Paddington gardens. If access is difficult or you prefer a slower, budget-friendly route, we can install a seeding option with the right topsoil and protection. Edging can be formed with clean spade-cut lines, metal edging, or discreet paving/brick borders. We’ll help you choose based on light, drainage and maintenance preferences.
