If your garden needs a fresh start, our team can transform it with professional turfing tailored to Bermondsey homes. We work around London Bridge and Bermondsey Street, creating lawns that suit busy households and compact outdoor spaces. Expect careful preparation, clean edges and a finish that complements patios and planting. We also advise on watering and mowing so your new lawn beds in quickly.
Bermondsey’s mix of converted warehouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means access and layouts vary a lot. We regularly turf small courtyard gardens, long terrace plots and shared green spaces where levels and drainage can be tricky. For properties near Tower Bridge and SE16 riverside developments, we plan deliveries and barrow routes to protect communal areas. This local experience helps us deliver a neat job with minimal disruption.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess levels, shade, wear and soil condition, then we recommend turf or seeding to match how you use the space. We handle lawn preparation, topsoil supply, levelling and drainage installation before laying premium turf for a tight, even finish. Work is completed to a clear specification, with practical aftercare guidance and optional maintenance visits. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and results that last.
Gardens in the London Borough of Southwark often have compacted subsoil, old rubble layers and awkward access through flats or side returns. We adapt with staged waste removal, protective boarding, and smaller turf rolls where needed. Parking and loading can be limited near Maltby Street Market, so we plan deliveries and timings to keep the job running smoothly. For riverside plots, we pay extra attention to levelling and drainage to prevent water sitting on the surface.

Costs in Bermondsey typically depend on access, ground condition and whether you need topsoil or drainage. As a guide, supply-and-lay turfing often falls around £25–£45 per m². If excavation, waste removal, levelling and new topsoil are required, budgets commonly rise to £45–£80 per m². Small courtyards can cost more per m² due to handling and delivery logistics.
Most turf laying is completed in 1–2 days for an average garden once the ground is prepared. If we need to remove old lawn, install drainage, add topsoil and re-level, allow 2–4 days depending on size and access. Courtyard gardens in apartments can take longer because materials must be moved by hand. Weather also affects timing, particularly during heavy rain or heat.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Southwark. However, restrictions can apply to listed buildings, conservation areas, or works that significantly alter levels, drainage outfalls, or boundary structures. If your property is part of a managed development, there may also be freeholder or estate rules. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you check before work starts.
Yes. Our turfing work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues linked to installation such as poor levelling, inadequate preparation, or drainage work we’ve carried out. Turf is a living product, so its establishment also depends on watering, mowing and avoiding heavy use during rooting. We provide clear aftercare instructions and can return for follow-up checks if you’d like ongoing support.
We can supply premium turf suited to your space, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant blends for gardens with limited sun. Where instant turf isn’t ideal, we also offer seeding for larger areas or lower budgets. We’ll assess foot traffic, pet use, drainage and light levels, then recommend the best option. Edging details and transitions to patios or beds are planned for a crisp finish.
