If your garden has turned patchy, bumpy or waterlogged, our team can transform it with expert turfing.

Catford gardens often sit behind Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties, each with different access and ground make-up. We regularly turf front and back gardens in Hither Green, Bellingham and Grove Park, planning for narrow side returns, steps and shared paths. Where lawns have thinned from shade or heavy use, we’ll recommend the right turf grade and soil build-up. For family gardens, we focus on durability and quick establishment.
Our process starts with a site check, then we strip and dispose of old turf, improve levels and install topsoil where needed. If drainage is an issue, we can add soakaway solutions or drainage runs before turf goes down. We source premium turf and lay it tightly for strong joins, then roll and water-in for good contact. Homeowners choose our turfing contractors Catford area for reliable scheduling, clear advice and a finish backed by warranty.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to mixed soils, compacted ground and areas that hold water after heavy rain. Access can be tight around terraces and maisonettes, so we plan deliveries and barrowing routes to protect paths and fences. We also factor in parking and local restrictions when booking turf drop-offs near Mountsfield Park. Where gardens slope or have old hardstanding, we build levels correctly to avoid future sinking.

We’ll confirm a schedule in advance and advise when the lawn can be walked on and first mown.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Lewisham.

We’ll flag any potential issues during the site visit and can advise on best practice before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence that the groundworks, levels and installation have been completed correctly.

If turf isn’t ideal, we can also seed selected sections or undertake full seeding for larger spaces. We’ll help you choose based on sunlight, drainage, expected wear, and how quickly you want the lawn to look established.
