Installing a new lawn isn't just about rolling out some turf and hoping for the best. The clay-heavy soil common throughout SW19 and SW20 requires proper preparation, particularly near the Common where drainage can be tricky. Victorian terrace owners often discover years of compaction, whilst those in Wimbledon Village's larger plots might face uneven terrain from old tree roots. Each garden tells its own story, demanding a tailored approach.
Ground preparation begins with removing the tired topsoil, then adding fresh substrate mixed specifically for local conditions. Proper grading ensures water flows away from your home - crucial given how many Wimbledon properties sit on slopes. Fresh turf gets laid in staggered rows, edges trimmed precisely around pathways and borders. That first watering seeps deep, encouraging roots to establish quickly in their new home.
Twenty years of transforming gardens between Raynes Park station and the Village means understanding which grass varieties thrive despite London's unpredictable weather. Local knowledge matters when you're investing in something that should last decades, not seasons.

Most SW19 terraced gardens (40-60m²) see costs between £800-£1,400, including ground prep and premium turf. Larger Wimbledon Village properties with 100-150m² lawns typically range £1,800-£3,000, though complex slopes or poor drainage can affect pricing.
Absolutely - from the Broadway shops to Copse Hill, throughout both SW19 and SW20 postcodes. Regular installations happen everywhere from Arthur Road's Victorian terraces to the modern developments near Raynes Park.
Smaller Wimbledon gardens often see completion within 1-2 days, whilst substantial lawns might need 3-4 days including ground preparation. Weather permitting, most projects wrap up within a week of starting.
Every lawn installation includes decade-long coverage against settlement issues or drainage problems. Should any section fail due to installation defects within ten years, it's replaced without charge - though proper aftercare remains essential for healthy establishment.
Hardwearing varieties specifically suited to family life get recommended for active households. After the initial 3-4 week establishment period, these robust grass types handle regular football games and dog zoomies whilst maintaining their appearance throughout the year.
