A great lawn starts with the groundwork, not just fresh turf. Our team installs new lawns across CR2, from gardens near South Croydon station to plots backing onto Croham Hurst Woods. Whether you want instant impact with turf or a seeded lawn for long-term value, we tailor the build-up to your soil and drainage. The result is a clean, even surface that looks right with your planting and paving.
South Croydon is known for leafy streets, excellent schools and generous gardens, and we’re used to working on large detached homes, 1930s semis and Victorian villas. Many gardens in Sanderstead, Selsdon and Purley have slopes, mature trees or shaded corners that affect how grass establishes. We’ll advise on the best grass type and whether turf or seed will perform better in your microclimate. If access is tight, we plan deliveries and barrowing to protect paths and borders.
Our process covers full site preparation, removal of old turf, topsoil import where needed, grading for levels and falls, then turf laying or seeding with crisp edging. We use reliable turf supply and install to consistent thickness so the lawn roots evenly. After installation, you’ll receive clear watering and mowing guidance, plus follow-up advice if weather turns dry or wet. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, straightforward communication and results that last.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon often vary between clay-heavy ground and lighter, free-draining pockets, so we adjust topsoil depth and preparation accordingly. In South Croydon, sloping plots and tree shade are common, especially near Lloyd Park and wooded edges, so we grade carefully and recommend suitable grass mixes. We also plan around parking and delivery access on residential roads, keeping disruption low. Every installation is set up to establish well in local conditions.

Costs depend on access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation commonly falls around £25–£45 per m² including preparation, topsoil where required and laying. Seeding is usually lower, often £12–£25 per m², but takes longer to establish. Steep slopes, removal of old lawns, or extra topsoil and edging can increase the overall price.
Most turf lawns are installed in 1–2 days for an average rear garden, with larger plots taking 2–4 days. Seeding can be completed in a similar timeframe, but germination typically takes 2–4 weeks and full thickening longer. Timescales depend on site preparation needs, weather, access for materials, and whether we’re correcting levels or improving drainage. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site visit.
Lawn installation is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s classed as standard garden landscaping. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees or roots. If you’re also changing levels significantly or altering drainage routes, it’s worth checking. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you understand what the London Borough of Croydon may require.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installed build-up and edging, covering issues such as poor grading, uneven settlement caused by installation, or incorrect preparation. Living materials like turf and seed are affected by weather and aftercare, so establishment depends on watering, mowing and use during the first weeks. We give clear aftercare instructions and practical support to help your lawn root successfully.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, or shade-tolerant options where gardens sit under trees. For seeding, we offer durable rye-based mixes for play areas, as well as finer blends for a neater finish. Edging can be cut-and-rolled turf edges, metal edging for crisp lines, or brick/stone edging to match patios and paths. We’ll recommend the best combination based on light levels, drainage and how you use the garden.
