A great lawn starts below the surface, especially in Coulsdon where gardens often meet open downland edges. Our team prepares the ground properly, supplies premium turf, and lays it with tight joints for a seamless look. Whether you’re near Farthing Downs or based around Old Coulsdon, we’ll create a lawn that suits how you use your garden. We also offer topsoil supply, seeding and drainage upgrades where needed.
The Coulsdon area includes large detached houses, well-loved 1930s properties and newer developments, each with different garden layouts and access. We regularly work across CR5, including Chipstead Valley and Hooley, tailoring the job to slopes, shaded corners and family-friendly spaces. If your lawn has become bumpy, thin or waterlogged, we can level and regrade before turfing. Our recommendations are practical, based on how your garden performs through the seasons.
Our process is clear: site visit, levels and drainage checks, lawn preparation, quality turf supply, then precise turf laying and rolling. We focus on tidy edges, consistent levels and correct topsoil depth so the lawn roots quickly. You’ll receive straightforward aftercare advice on watering, first cuts and feeding, plus optional seeding for patch-prone areas. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and results that still look right months later.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from exposed, breezy plots near Coulsdon Common to more sheltered back gardens behind 1930s homes. We assess soil condition, compaction and fall so water moves away from patios and paths. Access and parking can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Where ground is uneven or prone to puddling, we’ll recommend levelling and drainage before turf goes down.

Costs depend on lawn size, access, and how much preparation is required. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts from around £25–£45 per m². If you need full lawn preparation, levelling, topsoil and waste removal, budgets commonly fall in the £45–£85 per m² range. Drainage installation or significant regrading can increase costs, but it usually prevents expensive rework later.
Most domestic lawns can be turfed in 1 day once the ground is prepared, while larger gardens or complex shapes may take 2–3 days. Timescales increase if we’re removing an old lawn, importing topsoil, correcting levels, or installing drainage. Weather also matters: heavy rain can delay preparation and compaction work. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after assessing your garden and access for materials.
Turfing and general garden landscaping are usually permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, changing drainage that affects neighbouring land, or working near protected trees. Some properties may also have restrictions linked to conservation areas or covenants. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise what to check with the London Borough of Croydon before work begins.
Yes. Our installation work is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering workmanship such as levels, edging and proper preparation to specification. Living materials like turf are affected by watering, mowing, pets, shade and extreme weather, so ongoing care matters. We provide clear aftercare guidance to help the lawn establish well, and we’ll advise on feeding and mowing schedules. If problems arise early, we’ll inspect and recommend practical remedies.
We can supply premium turf suited to different uses, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental finishes, and shade-tolerant options for gardens with trees or north-facing areas. If you prefer, we can also seed areas where access is awkward or budgets are tighter. Finishes include crisp lawn edging, levelling for a flatter surface, and topsoil improvement for better rooting. We’ll help you choose based on sun, drainage and how you use the space.
