A good lawn starts below the surface, especially in SE18 where gardens vary from compact courtyards to larger family plots. We install new lawns for homeowners across Woolwich, including properties near the Royal Arsenal and around Woolwich Town Centre. Whether you want instant impact with turf or a budget-friendly seeding option, we tailor the build-up to your site. The result is a level, well-draining lawn that looks sharp from day one.
Woolwich’s housing mix brings different challenges: Victorian terraces often have shaded boundaries and tight access, converted arsenal buildings can have raised planters and hard landscaping, and modern apartments may need lawn installation in communal or rooftop-style spaces. We’re used to working around existing patios, utility covers and established planting. If you’re in Charlton, Plumstead or Abbey Wood, we’ll assess sunlight, foot traffic and drainage before recommending turf or seed. That local understanding helps your lawn establish evenly and stay resilient.
Our process covers site preparation, removal of poor material, topsoil supply, grading, edging, and either turf laying or seeding. We use quality turf supply from trusted growers and install to correct levels so water doesn’t pool against paving or walls. Every job includes clear aftercare guidance for mowing, watering and feeding, plus optional follow-up visits. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, tidy working practices and a finish that performs through the seasons.
Across the Royal Borough of Greenwich, Woolwich gardens can have compact access routes, shared pathways and controlled parking, particularly near the Royal Arsenal and riverside streets by the Woolwich Ferry. We plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption and protect communal areas. Ground conditions can vary from made-up ground on redeveloped plots to heavier soils in older gardens, so we adjust topsoil depth and grading accordingly. If needed, we coordinate timings to suit building management rules and local restrictions.

Costs depend on area size, access, and how much ground preparation is needed. As a guide, turf installation commonly ranges from £45–£90 per m² including preparation, topsoil and laying. Seeding can be lower, often £20–£45 per m², but takes longer to establish. Extra factors include removal of old turf, levelling for patios, edging details, and whether you need improved drainage on site.
Most turf lawns are installed in 1–2 days for an average back garden, with larger or more complex sites taking 2–4 days. Seeding is quicker to lay but needs several weeks to germinate and establish before heavy use. Timescales vary with access (narrow side returns), the amount of excavation and grading required, and weather conditions. We’ll confirm a schedule after a site visit.
In most cases, lawn installation is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission because it’s soft landscaping. However, there can be rules if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to neighbouring land, working in a listed building setting, or within managed developments (common around converted buildings). We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on best practice for runoff, and can help you check any estate or council requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to installation standards such as levels, edging and overall build-up where specified. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, mowing and weather, so we provide clear aftercare instructions to protect establishment. If any issues arise that relate to installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put things right. Optional maintenance visits are available for added reassurance.
We can supply hard-wearing family turf, ornamental finer-blade turf for a neater finish, and shade-tolerant options where boundaries reduce sunlight. If you prefer seed, we’ll recommend mixes for high-traffic gardens, pet use, or low-maintenance spaces. Edging can be finished with clean spade-cut lines, metal edging for crisp borders, or integrated edges to meet paving and paths. We’ll help you choose based on use, light levels and budget.
