Those charming Victorian properties dotted around Keston Common deserve lawns that match their character. Whether you're replacing tired grass or starting fresh after building work, getting the groundwork right makes all the difference.
Response within 24 hours
Keston's mix of period homes and modern developments each bring their own lawn challenges. Clay-heavy soil near the Common needs different preparation than the sandier patches towards Farnborough. Years of experience working across BR2 means spotting these differences straight away. The right turf choice combined with proper soil conditioning creates lawns that thrive through both summer hosepipe bans and winter waterlogging.
Ground preparation starts with removing old turf and excavating to the correct depth - typically 100-150mm depending on existing conditions. Fresh topsoil gets spread and levelled, incorporating drainage solutions where needed. Premium grade turf arrives daily from Kent suppliers, laid immediately to prevent drying. Final rolling ensures perfect contact between roots and soil, followed by thorough watering to kickstart establishment.
Local knowledge counts when installing lawns around mature trees and dealing with Keston's occasional flooding issues. Every installation includes detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific garden conditions.

Most BR2 gardens fall between £15-25 per square metre including all preparation and premium turf. A standard 80m² lawn usually totals £1,400-1,800, though complex slopes or drainage work can adjust this.

Sloping gardens are common near the Common - proper soil pinning and stepped edges prevent erosion. Curved borders, narrow side returns, and multi-level gardens all manageable with correct planning and installation techniques.
