From compact courtyard gardens near Clapham Old Town to family plots by Clapham Common, a good lawn starts below the surface. We provide complete lawn preparation, premium turf supply and precise turf laying for a clean, even finish. If your garden suffers from dips, puddling or patchy grass, we can level, improve drainage and set the lawn up to thrive. We regularly work across SW4 and SW11 with tidy, well-managed installations.
Clapham’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments creates very different garden challenges. Rear access can be tight in Clapham North and Clapham Park, while larger gardens in Clapham South often need careful grading to prevent water sitting on the surface. We tailor topsoil depth, levelling and edging details to suit each property and how you use the space. The result is a lawn that looks right for the period setting and performs well year-round.
Our process is straightforward: remove debris and poor turf, improve the base, install drainage where needed, then lay premium turf with tight joints and accurate levels. We can also seed areas where turf isn’t practical, such as shaded edges or awkward strips. Every job includes practical aftercare advice on watering, first mowing and feeding, so the lawn establishes quickly. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and a finish that stays even.
Gardens around the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth border can vary from compacted clay to sandy made ground, which affects drainage and how turf takes. We assess levels, fall and water run-off before laying, especially in properties close to busy roads where soil is often compacted. Access and parking can be restricted near Clapham Junction station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. This local approach helps our turfing contractors Clapham area deliver consistent results in tight urban gardens.

Costs depend on access, removal of old lawn, soil condition and whether you need topsoil or drainage. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts from around £25–£45 per m² for straightforward areas. Full preparation with levelling and topsoil commonly ranges £45–£85 per m². Drainage installation is usually priced after a site check, but many small garden solutions fall within £500–£1,500.
Most small to medium Clapham gardens can be completed in 1–2 days, including preparation and turf laying. Larger lawns, significant levelling, or adding drainage can extend this to 3–5 days. Timescales also depend on access for materials, waste removal, and weather conditions (heavy rain can delay groundworks). We’ll confirm a realistic programme after measuring up and checking the existing base.
Turfing and typical garden improvements are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re in a conservation area, altering boundary levels significantly, or managing drainage in a way that affects neighbours or public land. If works involve front gardens, hardstanding or changes to water run-off, councils may have additional guidance. We’ll flag any likely issues and advise what to check before starting.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installation elements we control, such as preparation, levelling and correct laying methods. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on proper watering, mowing and seasonal conditions, but we provide clear aftercare advice to maximise success. If any areas fail due to installation issues, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right in line with the warranty terms.
We supply premium turf options suited to how you use the lawn, including hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes for tricky edges. Where turf isn’t ideal, we can seed with quality grass blends and prepare the soil for better germination. For wet spots, we can install drainage solutions such as perforated pipe runs, soakaways or improved sub-base layers. We’ll recommend the most practical option after assessing light, soil and foot traffic.
