A great lawn starts with the ground beneath it, not just the turf on top. We install new lawns across SM5, from compact courtyard gardens to wider family plots near Carshalton Ponds. Whether you want a fresh green finish for summer or a hard-wearing lawn for children and pets, we tailor the build-up to your garden’s conditions. Expect clean edges, accurate levels and a neat, professional finish.
Carshalton’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, 1930s semis and period properties often comes with older garden layouts and uneven ground. We regularly work in Carshalton Beeches and towards Wallington, where access can be tight and levels can vary between patios, paths and borders. If your lawn has dips, compacted soil or patchy growth, we’ll correct the base and improve the growing medium. The result is a lawn that drains properly and looks consistent across the whole garden.
Our process covers lawn preparation, topsoil supply, levelling, turf laying and optional drainage installation or seeding where appropriate. We use premium turf and install it to the correct falls, with careful rolling and watering guidance so it beds in evenly. Work is scheduled with clear start dates, tidy site practice and straightforward communication. Homeowners choose our turfing contractors carshalton area service because we focus on lasting results, not quick cover-ups.
Gardens in the London Borough of Sutton can vary from free-draining sandy patches to heavier, compacted ground that holds water. We assess shade, slope and existing soil structure before recommending topsoil, drainage or seeding. Access and parking can be limited on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. This practical approach helps our turfing contractors in London Borough of Sutton deliver consistent results across different property styles.

Costs depend on size, access and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts around £25–£45 per m², while full preparation with removal of old lawn, levelling and topsoil can take it to roughly £45–£80 per m². Drainage installation or significant ground correction may add more. We provide a site visit and itemised estimate for SM5 gardens.
Most lawns are completed in 1 day for small to medium gardens, or 2–3 days for larger areas with more groundwork. Preparation usually takes the longest: removing old turf, improving the soil, levelling and setting falls. Weather, access for materials, and whether drainage or edging is required can extend the schedule. Turf establishes over 2–4 weeks with correct watering and reduced foot traffic.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to neighbouring land, working around protected trees, or making changes near listed buildings. If you’re close to features such as Carshalton House or within sensitive areas, we’ll flag any potential constraints. We can advise on best practice and check requirements where needed.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as poor levelling, inadequate base preparation or turf lifting caused by fitting faults. Living materials can be affected by weather, watering and heavy use, so the turf itself is supported by clear aftercare guidance to maximise establishment. If any concerns arise early on, we’ll inspect promptly and advise the best corrective steps.
We can supply and lay premium turf suited to how you use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for a sharper look, and shade-tolerant mixes where light is limited. If you prefer, we can also seed areas or combine seeding with turf for phased budgets. We’ll assess soil condition, drainage and wear patterns, then recommend the best option for your garden and maintenance routine.
