That patchy, tired space behind your Victorian terrace deserves better. Fresh turf transforms Norbury gardens from muddy afterthoughts into proper outdoor rooms where life happens.
Response within 24 hours
Norbury's mix of housing presents unique lawn challenges - compact courtyards near the station, sloping gardens towards Pollards Hill, and those awkward spaces where extensions meet original boundaries. Each requires careful ground preparation before any turf touches soil. Local clay conditions mean drainage matters as much as the grass variety chosen.
Ground assessment comes first: checking levels, identifying waterlogged spots common in SW16's heavy soil, then calculating exact turf quantities. Preparation involves removing old vegetation, improving soil structure with organic matter, and creating proper levels for water run-off. Premium turf gets delivered fresh-cut, laid within hours to ensure strong establishment. Final rolling and watering sets roots properly.
Twelve years working between Thornton Heath and Streatham means knowing which grass types survive south London summers. Every installation carries decade-long backing because quality preparation shows years later.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Standard Victorian terrace gardens (40-60m²) generally run £1,200-£1,800 including preparation. Larger plots towards Pollards Hill might reach £2,500-£3,500. Awkward access or severe level changes affect final figures.
Absolutely - regular installations throughout SW16 from Norbury station down to Furzedown, plus CR7 addresses near Thornton Heath. Pollards Hill estates through to Streatham Vale all within standard coverage.
Installation typically completes within 1-2 days depending on garden size. Initial rooting takes 2-3 weeks with careful watering. Full establishment where children can play freely: roughly 6-8 weeks.
Each lawn installation includes comprehensive ten-year coverage against installation defects. This protects against poor ground preparation, inadequate drainage, or turf failure due to laying issues - genuine peace of mind for your investment.
Norbury's clay actually helps retain moisture during dry spells. Proper preparation incorporates sand and organic material to improve drainage whilst maintaining moisture retention. Combined with suitable grass varieties, clay-based lawns often outperform sandy soils.
