Those tired patches of mud and weeds in your Orpington garden deserve better. A properly installed lawn transforms outdoor spaces, whether you're dealing with the clay-heavy soil near Chelsfield or the sloping gardens common in Petts Wood.

Installing a new lawn requires more than rolling out turf and hoping for the best. Orpington's varied terrain, from the flatter areas around St Mary Cray to the hillier sections of BR6, demands careful preparation and local knowledge. Each garden presents unique challenges - compacted soil from years of foot traffic, drainage issues from our wet winters, or shade from those mature oaks that make this area so appealing.
Ground preparation starts with removing existing vegetation and addressing any underlying issues. Proper grading ensures water flows away from your home, particularly important given the number of Victorian properties in BR5 with original foundations. Fresh topsoil gets worked in, creating the ideal growing medium before premium-grade turf arrives on-site. Every seam gets carefully aligned, edges trimmed to perfection, and the entire surface rolled to ensure solid root-to-soil contact.
Years of working across Orpington means understanding which turf varieties thrive here. Local knowledge matters when choosing between shade-tolerant options for tree-lined gardens or hardier varieties for busy family homes.

Sloped gardens are no problem - proper terracing or grading techniques prevent erosion and ensure even growth. Many successful installations on the hillier streets around Chelsfield Village prove what's possible with the right approach.
