A great lawn starts below the surface, especially on Upper Norwood’s sloping plots and varied soils. Whether you’re near Crystal Palace Park or closer to Westow Park, we install lawns that drain well, sit level, and look crisp against patios and borders. Choose premium turf for instant impact or a seeding option for a slower, budget-friendly finish. We work across SE19 with tidy, low-disruption methods.
Upper Norwood’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with mature gardens, tight side access and established planting to protect. We’re used to working around steps, retaining edges and older paths without damaging features. If you’re in Crystal Palace, South Norwood or Norwood New Town, we tailor the build-up to suit sun exposure, shade from trees and how you use the garden. The result is a lawn that complements period properties rather than looking like an afterthought.
Our process is straightforward: site preparation, removal of debris, grading for levels and drainage, then quality topsoil before turf laying or seeding. Edging is set accurately so mowing stays easy and borders stay clean. We’re based just 15 minutes away, so aftercare support is quick when you need it. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication and workmanship backed by a 10-year warranty.
We understand the London Borough of Croydon’s mix of hilltop gardens, clay-heavy patches and areas that dry quickly on exposed slopes. Parking and access can be tight near Upper Norwood Library and around period streets, so we plan deliveries and turf supply to minimise disruption. For lawns on gradients, we focus on stable grading and firm consolidation to reduce settlement. This local approach is why clients recommend our lawn installation Upper Norwood area service.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you choose turf or seed. As a guide, turf installation with full site preparation, topsoil and laying often ranges from £45–£90 per m² in SE19. Seeding can be lower, typically £20–£45 per m², but needs longer to establish. Steep slopes, removal of old lawn, and extra edging can increase the budget. We provide a detailed, itemised estimate.
Most turf jobs take 1–2 days for an average rear garden, including preparation, grading and turf laying. Larger gardens, difficult access, or significant levelling can extend this to 3–5 days. Seeding is usually installed in a day, but establishment takes longer: expect 6–12 weeks before it’s ready for regular use. Weather, soil moisture and delivery timing can also affect the schedule.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission, as it’s standard garden landscaping. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near protected trees, or within a conservation area affecting drainage or boundaries. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise on best practice, including responsible disposal and protecting nearby roots. If needed, we can help you check Croydon guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which includes issues caused by installation faults such as poor levels, inadequate preparation, or edging failures. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, mowing and weather, so we provide clear aftercare guidance to protect establishment. If there’s a problem early on, we’ll inspect promptly and recommend the most practical remedy. Ongoing maintenance can also be arranged.
We supply quality turf suited to how you use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options for tree-lined plots. If you prefer a seeding option, we can install robust rye-based mixes or finer blends depending on foot traffic and sunlight. Edging choices include crisp spade-cut edges, metal edging, or discrete brick/stone restraints. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing soil, drainage and light.
