If your garden is patchy, bumpy or waterlogged, professional turfing makes an immediate difference. We work across CR0, including around Addiscombe tram stop and up towards Ashburton Park, creating lawns that suit family gardens and entertaining spaces. From removing old grass to levelling and laying, we keep the job tidy and efficient. You’ll get clear aftercare guidance so your new lawn beds in properly.
Addiscombe’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis often comes with long rear gardens, side returns and narrow access. That can make moving materials tricky, especially when you’re close to East Croydon or on busier residential roads. We plan deliveries, barrow routes and waste removal to minimise disruption. Whether you want a full new lawn or a fresh section after building works, we tailor the approach to your plot.
Our process starts with a site check, then proper lawn preparation: clearing, rotavating where needed, adding topsoil and correcting levels. We supply premium turf, lay it tightly with staggered joints, and roll for firm contact to prevent drying and dips. Where gardens hold water, we can install drainage before turfing to protect the finish. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (around 10 minutes away), punctual, and we stand by our workmanship.
As turfing contractors in the Addiscombe area, we’re used to compact access, shared driveways and timed deliveries on residential streets. In the London Borough of Croydon, clay-heavy ground can lead to slow drainage, so we adjust preparation depth, add suitable topsoil and recommend drainage installation where needed. We also factor in shade from mature trees near parks such as Leslie Park. The result is a lawn that looks good and performs well through the seasons.

Costs vary with access, garden condition and whether you need topsoil or drainage. As a guide, turf supply and laying often ranges from £18–£35 per m². Full preparation (removing old lawn, levelling and adding topsoil) can take the total to around £35–£70 per m². Small gardens with awkward access may sit higher per m² due to labour and disposal.
Most straightforward lawns are completed in 1 day, including preparation and turf laying. Larger gardens, heavy levelling, or removing an existing lawn can take 2–3 days. Drainage installation or significant topsoil import may add extra time. Weather matters too: very wet ground can delay machinery use and levelling, while hot spells require careful timing to prevent turf drying out.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering land levels significantly, installing new drainage outfalls, working near protected trees, or your property is listed. If you’re in a conservation area, there may be additional considerations. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise what to check with Croydon Council before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence in the preparation, levelling and installation. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on correct watering, mowing and avoiding heavy use early on, but we provide clear aftercare advice to maximise success. If problems arise from installation faults—such as poor levels or inadequate consolidation—we’ll return to put them right.
We can supply premium turf suited to your garden’s use: hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, or shade-tolerant options for tree-lined plots. For budget-friendly or larger areas, we also offer seeding, including quick-establish mixes and robust rye blends. Finishes include crisp edging, lawn levelling for a flatter surface, and topsoil improvements. We’ll recommend the best option based on sunlight, drainage and how you’ll use the space.
