If your garden near Streatham Hill station is patchy, compacted or uneven, a new lawn can transform how you use the space. Fine Landscaping delivers a complete service: site preparation, fresh topsoil, accurate grading and professional turf laying. We work across SW2, including routes off Christchurch Road, keeping disruption low and finishes sharp. Expect clean edges, tidy paths and a lawn that establishes quickly.
Streatham Hill has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions, often with long rear gardens and side returns. Access can be tight, so we plan deliveries, waste removal and turf handling to suit your property layout. Whether you’re in Streatham, Tulse Hill or West Norwood, we tailor levels and edging to patios, steps and existing borders. The result is a lawn that complements period features and modern outdoor upgrades alike.
Our process starts with a site survey, then proper ground preparation: removing debris, relieving compaction and setting falls for drainage. We add quality topsoil, grade and consolidate, then install premium turf or offer a seeding option where timing and budget suit. Edging is finished neatly to keep lines crisp and reduce mowing damage. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
For lawn installation in London Borough of Lambeth, we factor in common clay-heavy soils that can hold water and compact under foot traffic. Parking and access around Telford Park and nearby streets can be restricted, so we schedule deliveries and loading to minimise delays. Many Streatham Hill gardens have level changes, old hardstanding or compacted sub-bases from past works, which we correct during preparation. We also keep boundaries, drains and neighbouring fences protected throughout.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation in Streatham Hill often falls around £45–£90 per m² including preparation, topsoil and laying. Seeding can be lower, typically £20–£45 per m², but takes longer to establish. Heavily compacted ground, removal of old turf, or significant levelling can add to the total.
Most turf jobs take 1–2 days for an average rear garden, with larger or more complex sites taking 3–5 days. Time depends on how much excavation, grading and topsoil import is needed, plus access for moving materials through terraced properties. Seeding is usually quicker to install but needs several weeks to establish before heavy use. Weather can also affect scheduling and ground preparation.
A new lawn is usually permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, changing drainage arrangements, or working near protected trees or shared boundaries. Some properties in Lambeth may have covenants or management company requirements, especially in mansion conversions. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on best practice for runoff and responsible waste disposal.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering installation standards such as correct preparation, grading, edging and turf laying. Living materials are affected by watering, weather, shade and footfall, so turf and seed establishment isn’t guaranteed in the same way. That said, we supply clear aftercare instructions and can offer follow-up visits to assess settling, advise on mowing height and help resolve early issues promptly.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer seeding, we’ll recommend mixes suited to usage and soil type, from durable play lawns to lower-maintenance blends. For edging, popular choices include steel edging, brick soldier courses, timber sleepers and clean spade-cut edges. We’ll help you choose based on style, borders, mowing ease and long-term maintenance.
