Those tired patches of mud and weeds behind Putney's period properties deserve better. A properly installed lawn transforms not just your garden's appearance, but how you actually use your outdoor space throughout the year.

Victorian terraces along Disraeli Road often surprise visitors with their generous rear gardens, yet many remain underutilised expanses of patchy grass. Installing a fresh lawn isn't simply about rolling out turf; it requires understanding Putney's clay-heavy soil and the shade patterns created by neighbouring properties. Years of working across SW15 have taught us which grass varieties thrive despite the Thames Valley's temperamental drainage.
Preparation makes the difference between a lawn that lasts decades and one that deteriorates within months. Clay compaction beneath Putney gardens needs breaking up, while proper grading ensures water flows away from foundations rather than pooling near your French doors. Selected turf varieties cope better with the foot traffic from school runs and weekend barbecues. Each installation considers factors like mature tree roots from those towering London planes, ensuring your new grass establishes without competing for nutrients.
Local knowledge matters when dealing with gardens squeezed between semi-detached houses or tucked behind converted flats near East Putney station. Having transformed hundreds of SW15 gardens, we understand the access challenges and timing considerations unique to this neighbourhood.

Garden sizes around Putney vary considerably - from compact 30m² spaces behind terraced houses to 200m² plots in Putney Heath. Most homeowners invest between £1,200-£4,500, depending on ground preparation requirements and chosen turf grade.
Absolutely - from the riverside properties near Putney Bridge to the larger gardens backing onto Richmond Park in Roehampton. We regularly work across Barnes Common too, wherever SW15 extends.
Installation typically takes 1-2 days for average Putney gardens. Your lawn needs approximately three weeks before light use, though full establishment takes 6-8 weeks depending on the season.
Every installation includes decade-long protection against installation defects. This covers issues like uneven settling or poor root establishment - essentially anything beyond normal wear or weather damage over the ten-year period.
Shade-tolerant varieties work brilliantly under the mature trees found throughout SW15. These special grass blends maintain colour and density even with limited direct sunlight, perfect for north-facing gardens or spaces overshadowed by neighbouring properties.
