Those compact Victorian gardens dotted throughout SE13 deserve proper grass, not the patchy remnants left by previous tenants. Installing a lawn here isn't just about rolling out turf – it's understanding Lewisham's clay-heavy soil and those awkward spaces between back extensions. Local knowledge matters when you're dealing with everything from shaded corners near Hither Green station to sun-baked spots overlooking Ladywell Fields.
Ground preparation makes or breaks any lawn installation. First comes excavation to the correct depth, removing builders' rubble that lurks beneath many Lewisham properties. Fresh topsoil gets graded and levelled, creating proper drainage channels essential for our wet winters. Premium turf arrives cut fresh that morning, laid tight with staggered joints like brickwork, then rolled firm to eliminate air pockets.
Twenty years laying lawns across Southeast London teaches you which suppliers grow turf that actually thrives here. Every installation gets the same attention whether it's a pocket garden off Lewisham High Street or sprawling grounds near Blackheath border.

Most SE13 gardens run between £850-£2,500 for complete lawn installation. Smaller Victorian plots often fall around £1,200, while larger Edwardian properties near Manor Park might reach £3,000+ depending on access and ground conditions.
Absolutely – from the conservation areas around Lewisham Park to newer developments near Elverson Road DLR. Regular work takes us through Hither Green, down towards Catford borders, and across to properties backing onto Blackheath.
Typical Lewisham lawn installations take 1-2 days on-site, though larger gardens might need three. Booking to completion usually runs 10-14 days, weather permitting.
Each lawn installation includes decade-long coverage against installation defects. This means if seams separate or levels sink due to our workmanship within ten years, we'll return to rectify it at no charge.
Sloping gardens are common in SE13, especially properties near Telegraph Hill. We'll terrace severe slopes or install reinforced turf systems that prevent erosion while maintaining that natural lawn appearance.
