A great lawn starts below the surface, especially in Pimlico where gardens range from compact courtyards to smart communal spaces. We install new lawns with careful site preparation, correct levels and crisp edging for a tailored look. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or around Pimlico tube station, we work neatly and to schedule. Expect a lawn that complements paving, borders and period detailing.
Homes across SW1 include Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions, often with limited access and established planting. We’re used to protecting stone steps, basement lightwells and shared pathways while bringing materials in. If you’re in Westminster, Victoria or close to Dolphin Square, we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is a lawn that suits formal layouts, garden squares and river-facing terraces.
Our process is straightforward: remove tired turf, improve the base, add quality topsoil, grade for drainage, then lay premium turf or offer a seeding option. We finish with neat edging lines and provide practical aftercare guidance for watering, first mowing and feeding. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 30 minutes away, so we can respond quickly for follow-up visits. Every installation is completed to a consistent standard, with workmanship you can rely on.
Pimlico gardens often sit over compacted sub-bases, old patios or mixed fill, so ground preparation makes the difference. We assess drainage, levels and shade from tall buildings, then choose turf varieties accordingly. Access can be tight in mansion blocks and mews-style streets, and parking restrictions in the City of Westminster require planning. We schedule deliveries, use tidy handling methods and keep communal areas clean throughout.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Pimlico typically range from about £45–£90 per m² for turf installation, depending on access, removal of old turf, and how much ground preparation is needed. If you need significant levelling, extra topsoil, or improved drainage, budgets can rise to £100–£140 per m². Seeding is usually lower per m², but takes longer to establish and may require more aftercare.
Most turf lawns are installed in 1–2 days for an average Pimlico garden once access and waste removal are organised. Larger plots, extensive levelling, or replacing hardstanding can extend the work to 3–5 days. Seeding is quicker to lay but slower to use: allow 6–12 weeks for establishment depending on season, sunlight, and watering. Weather and delivery slots can also affect timing.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re in a listed building, a conservation area, or working within communal grounds managed by a freeholder or residents’ association. The City of Westminster also has strict requirements for waste disposal and parking suspensions for deliveries. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you check what’s needed before work starts.
Yes. Our lawn installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues such as poor levels, inadequate base preparation, or edging failures caused by installation. Living materials can be affected by watering, shade, pets and heavy use, so turf health isn’t covered in the same way as workmanship. We provide clear aftercare instructions and can return for maintenance visits to keep the lawn establishing strongly.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, fine ornamental turf for formal gardens, and shade-tolerant mixes for courtyards affected by tall buildings. If you prefer, we also offer a seeding option using quality seed blends suited to your light levels and expected foot traffic. Edging can be finished with clean cut lines, metal edging, or setts to match existing paving. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing drainage, sun and use.
