If your garden has become patchy, compacted or uneven, a new lawn can transform how you use the space. We provide a complete service across SE15, from stripping out old turf to precise grading and edging. Homeowners around Nunhead and near Peckham Rye Park often need better drainage and a smoother finish for family use. You’ll get a lawn that looks sharp and is practical to maintain.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses means gardens vary widely in size and access. Narrow side returns and shared passages around Queen’s Road can make deliveries and waste removal tricky, so we plan logistics carefully. Where gardens sit lower than the house, we grade to prevent water pooling against paving and walls. We also match turf or seed choices to how you’ll use the space—pets, play, or a low-maintenance look.
Our process starts with site preparation: clearing, cultivating, improving levels and adding quality topsoil where needed. We then lay premium turf or offer a seeding option for larger areas and longer-term establishment. Edging is finished neatly to borders, paths and patios for crisp lines. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 25 minutes away, and we back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty and straightforward aftercare guidance.
We’re used to working across the London Borough of Southwark, where gardens can have compacted subsoil and inconsistent levels from past landscaping. Access and parking near Peckham Library and busy streets can affect delivery timing, so we book slots and keep disruption down. For terrace gardens, we use tidy methods and staged removal to protect hallways and side passages. We also advise on watering schedules that fit South London’s summer dry spells.

Costs in Peckham typically range from £45–£90 per m² for turf installation, depending on access, waste removal, and how much site preparation is required. If you need substantial topsoil import, regrading, or drainage improvements, budgets can rise to £90–£140 per m². Seeding is usually cheaper, often £15–£35 per m², but takes longer to establish and needs more careful aftercare.
Most turf jobs take 1–2 days for an average Peckham garden once materials are on site. Larger areas or gardens needing heavy levelling, extra topsoil, or removal of old concrete bases can take 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to install (often within a day) but needs several weeks to establish before heavy use. Weather, access through narrow side passages, and drying times can also affect timescales.
In most cases, installing turf or seeding a lawn is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re significantly altering levels, affecting drainage to neighbouring properties, or working near protected trees. If your home is listed or within a conservation area, extra considerations may apply. We’ll flag any likely issues early and can help you check relevant Southwark guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our lawn installation work comes with a 10-year warranty covering workmanship, including correct preparation, grading and laying standards. Turf and seed are living materials, so long-term performance also depends on watering, mowing height, and avoiding heavy use while establishing. We provide clear aftercare instructions and can recommend a maintenance plan. If any issues arise linked to installation, we’ll assess and put them right.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, or shade-tolerant mixes for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend blends for durability, drought tolerance, or a softer finish depending on use. For edges, popular choices include clean spade-cut turf edges, metal edging for crisp lines, or brick/stone edging to match existing paving. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, soil condition and maintenance preferences.
