A new lawn can transform a garden for play, entertaining and kerb appeal, especially in SW19 where outdoor space is prized. We deliver professional turfing with proper lawn preparation, accurate levelling and neat finishes. From gardens near Wandle Park to properties closer to the Tandem Centre, we tailor the build-up to suit the site. If your current lawn is patchy, bumpy or waterlogged, we’ll put the structure right before any turf goes down.
Colliers Wood has a mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern apartments, each with different access and garden layouts. Narrow side returns and stepped levels are common around South Wimbledon and Tooting, so we plan materials and waste removal carefully. For larger plots towards Mitcham, we focus on consistent grading across wider areas to avoid dips and puddling. Our turfing contractors Colliers Wood area homeowners rely on can also integrate seeding for shaded corners where turf struggles initially.
We start with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and how the lawn will be used. Next comes removal of old turf, soil improvement with quality topsoil, and precise lawn levelling before turf laying or seeding. Where needed, we install drainage to protect the lawn during heavy rain and keep it usable. Fine Landscaping is 10 minutes away, so support is close by and our aftercare advice is practical, clear and based on local conditions.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Merton, we’re used to varied ground conditions and gardens close to the River Wandle where drainage can be a concern. We plan deliveries around residential parking and access, especially for terraces with narrow pathways. Our team adjusts topsoil depth and grading to suit slopes, patios and existing borders. The result is a lawn that settles evenly and stays healthier through the seasons.

Costs vary with access, lawn size and how much preparation is needed. For straightforward turf laying on a well-prepped base, homeowners often budget roughly £18–£35 per m². If you need old lawn removal, extra topsoil, levelling or drainage installation, it’s more commonly £35–£70+ per m². We’ll confirm what’s required after assessing levels, soil condition and waste removal needs.
Most small to medium lawns are completed in 1–2 days, including preparation and turf laying. Larger gardens or projects needing significant lawn levelling, topsoil import, or drainage installation can take 2–5 days. Timing is also affected by access (terrace side passages), skip placement, and whether we’re seeding any areas. We schedule turf delivery to lay it promptly for the best establishment.
In most cases, turfing and lawn replacement in back gardens is permitted and doesn’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage run-off, or working in a protected setting (such as certain listed buildings). If your project involves new drainage connections or major groundworks near boundaries, we’ll advise on best practice and help you check any London Borough of Merton requirements.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installed lawn base and associated groundworks, such as levelling and drainage installation where included. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on correct watering, mowing and weather conditions; we give clear aftercare advice to maximise success. If issues arise from our installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put things right where covered.
We can supply premium turf options such as hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes for gardens with limited sun. Topsoil can be screened and blended to improve structure and rooting, and we can add seeding to blend edges or repair tight corners. Finishes include crisp edging lines, gentle grading away from patios, and optional drainage solutions. We’ll recommend the best combination for your garden use and maintenance preferences.
