A great lawn starts below the surface, especially in Richmond where gardens range from compact courtyards to generous plots near Richmond Park. Fine Landscaping installs lawns that feel level underfoot, drain properly and stay presentable through the seasons. We supply quality turf and lay it with tight joints, or offer a seeding option where the site suits it. From TW9 to TW10, we create lawns that complement patios, borders and pathways.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often come with mature trees, shaded corners and established planting that need careful working. We’re used to narrow side access, stepped terraces and protecting existing features while we prepare the ground. Whether you’re in Kew, Ham or near Richmond Green, we tailor the build-up so the lawn sits neatly against hard landscaping. The result is a finish that looks intentional, not like an afterthought.
Our lawn installation richmond area process is straightforward: clear and prepare the site, improve levels with grading, add quality topsoil, then lay turf or sow seed and finish with crisp edging. We’ll advise on watering, first cuts and feeding, and we can return for aftercare if you want ongoing support. Homeowners choose us for tidy working, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts. Every installation is backed by our workmanship standards and long-term warranty for peace of mind.
We regularly complete lawn installation in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, where riverside moisture, shade from mature trees and compact access can affect results. Parking and loading can be tighter near Richmond Bridge and busier streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also adjust soil preparation for lawns under trees and on sloping plots common around Petersham and Twickenham. That local planning helps your lawn establish evenly and avoid dips, puddling and thin patches.

Costs in Richmond typically range from £25–£45 per m² for turf laying on a well-prepared base. If significant site preparation is needed (removing old lawn, adding topsoil, levelling and grading), budgets often fall between £45–£85 per m². Seeding can be cheaper upfront at roughly £12–£25 per m², but it takes longer to establish and may need more aftercare. Access, waste removal and edging details also affect price.
Most turf installations are completed in 1–2 days for an average garden, with larger plots taking 2–4 days. The timeline depends on how much site preparation is required, whether we’re importing topsoil, and how much grading is needed to correct levels. Seeding is quicker to install but takes longer to look established, typically 8–12 weeks depending on weather and watering. We’ll confirm a schedule before we start.
A new lawn is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. However, restrictions can apply if you’re in a conservation area, altering levels significantly, working near protected trees, or making changes that affect drainage onto neighbouring land. If your property is listed or close to tree roots, extra care and permissions may be needed. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you stay compliant.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues linked to our preparation, grading, edging and laying standards. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, weather and maintenance, so they’re not guaranteed in the same way as hard landscaping. That said, we provide clear aftercare guidance and can revisit to diagnose problems such as settlement or poor drainage. If a fault is due to our work, we’ll put it right.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options for gardens affected by trees. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend mixes for high traffic, drought tolerance or a softer finish, depending on how you use the space. For edging, popular choices include spade-cut edges, steel edging, brick soldier courses or stone setts to match pathways. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, drainage, pets and maintenance preferences.
