A new lawn can transform a Chelsea garden, whether you’re upgrading a courtyard near King’s Road or refreshing a family space close to Stamford Bridge.

We focus on clean edges, smooth falls and consistent colour for a high-end finish. Expect tidy working practices and clear advice on watering and mowing from day one.
Chelsea’s gardens often sit behind Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments, each with different access and soil challenges. In SW3 and SW10 we regularly work with narrow side passages, basement lightwells and raised planters that need careful material handling. If your garden has shaded zones or heavy foot traffic, we’ll recommend the right turf type or seeding approach. Our turfing contractors Chelsea area homeowners rely on can also improve tired lawns without a full redesign.
Our process starts with a site check, levels assessment and a plan for drainage where needed. We remove debris, improve the sub-base, add quality topsoil, then lay and roll turf for tight joints and even contact. Where turf isn’t ideal, we can seed with the correct mix and protect it during establishment. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, workmanship you can see immediately, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea can vary from free-draining made ground to compacted clay and rubble from older works. Access and parking restrictions around King’s Road often require efficient deliveries and tidy staging. We plan turf and topsoil drops to minimise disruption, protect pathways, and keep communal areas clean. Levels are set to suit patios, steps and basement thresholds common in period properties.

Costs in Chelsea typically range from £35–£70 per m² for turf supply and laying, depending on turf grade and access. If you need full lawn preparation (removal of old lawn, levelling, topsoil), budgets often fall between £65–£120 per m². Drainage installation, waste removal, and difficult access in SW3/SW10 can increase costs. We provide itemised estimates after a site visit.
Most lawns are completed in 1–2 days once the area is cleared and materials are on site. Small courtyards may be finished in a day, while larger gardens or those needing drainage, significant levelling, or topsoil import can take 2–4 days. Timescales also depend on access (narrow passages, stairs), weather, and whether we’re combining turfing with seeding or edging works.
Turfing and general garden improvement works are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels substantially, changing drainage that affects neighbours, working on listed buildings, or within conservation areas common in Chelsea. If your project includes new hard landscaping, retaining edges, or significant excavation, we’ll flag any considerations and help you check guidance for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty on the installed elements we control, such as ground preparation, levelling, and drainage components. Living materials like turf and seed depend on watering, weather, and foot traffic, so we provide clear aftercare instructions to support establishment. If any issues relate to installation (for example, poor levels or settlement), we’ll inspect and put it right.
We can supply premium turf suited to Chelsea gardens, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for a crisp look, and shade-tolerant options for north-facing spaces. If you prefer a slower, budget-friendly approach, we also offer seeding with tailored grass mixes. We’ll advise on edging details, lawn levels, and whether drainage or topsoil improvements will help the finish last longer.
