Soho gardens can be compact, shaded and heavily used, so a lawn needs proper groundwork to thrive. We install fresh turf or seed lawns that suit courtyards and terraces near Soho Square and Carnaby Street. Expect clean edges, smooth grading and a lawn that looks sharp from day one. Our team works considerately around busy streets and shared entrances common in W1.
Homes here range from Georgian townhouses to mansion flats and commercial conversions, often with raised patios, roof terraces or small rear plots. In the lawn installation Soho area, access is frequently via narrow passages or communal hallways, which affects how materials are brought in. We plan deliveries, waste removal and storage carefully to keep disruption low. Whether you’re in Fitzrovia or close to Leicester Square, we tailor the build-up to your property’s layout.
Every project starts with site preparation: clearing, levelling, grading for drainage and adding quality topsoil where needed. We supply premium turf, lay it tightly with staggered joints, then roll and water for strong root contact; seeding is available where a slower, budget-friendly option fits. Edging is installed to keep lines crisp and prevent turf creep into beds or paving. Homeowners trust us for clear schedules, tidy work and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Soho’s W1 streets can mean restricted parking, timed deliveries and limited access for barrows and bulk bags. We schedule around local constraints and keep walkways clear for neighbours and building managers. Many gardens sit between tall buildings, so shade and wind funneling can stress grass; we select turf or seed mixes accordingly. For lawn installation in City of Westminster, we also factor in drainage routes and existing hard landscaping typical of conversions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
In Soho, lawn installation typically ranges from £60–£120 per m² for turfing, depending on access, removal of old lawn, and how much topsoil and levelling is required. Seeding is often £25–£55 per m² but takes longer to establish. Courtyard gardens and roof terraces can sit at the higher end due to manual handling, smaller loads and careful protection of communal areas.
Most turf installations take 1–2 days for an average small London garden once materials are on site. If significant site preparation is needed—clearing, importing topsoil, regrading, or improving drainage—allow 2–4 days. Seeding adds time for establishment: you’ll usually see germination in 7–21 days, with a usable lawn in 8–12 weeks depending on season, watering and shade levels.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s considered soft landscaping. However, some Soho properties are listed, within conservation areas, or have leasehold/building management rules that affect access, working hours, or alterations to drainage. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and can help you check requirements with the City of Westminster or your managing agent before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues such as poor levels, edging movement, or installation defects when the lawn has been maintained as advised. Turf and seed are living materials, so establishment depends on watering, mowing and weather, especially in shaded Soho gardens. We supply clear aftercare instructions and can return for settling checks to address minor dips or joins early.
We offer hard-wearing family/utility turf, finer ornamental turf for a neater finish, and shade-tolerant mixes for enclosed courtyards near tall buildings. If you prefer seeding, we can specify fast-establishing rye blends or lower-maintenance mixes suited to lighter use. Edging options include steel, aluminium, brick soldier courses, or discreet timber edging. We’ll recommend the best combination based on sunlight, drainage, and how you use the space.
