If your lawn is patchy, bumpy or constantly muddy, our turfing team can transform it quickly and cleanly. We work across Croydon, including Addiscombe and South Croydon, with projects near East Croydon station and the Whitgift Centre. Every job starts with proper lawn preparation, not just rolling out turf. The result is a greener finish that’s easier to maintain from day one.
Croydon’s gardens vary widely, from Victorian terraces with compact rear access to 1930s semis with longer plots, plus modern developments that need tidy, low-maintenance lawns. We’re used to working around existing patios, pathways and extensions, and we plan deliveries to suit tighter streets and shared driveways. Whether you’re in CR0 or CR2, we tailor levels and edging so the lawn sits neatly against borders. That attention to detail helps prevent dips, scalps and water pooling.
Our process covers lawn levelling, topsoil supply, drainage installation where needed, and either turf laying or seeding depending on your goals and timing. We source premium turf for a dense, hard-wearing finish and install it to the correct falls for surface water. You’ll also get clear aftercare advice on watering, first mowing and feeding to support strong rooting. With a 10-year warranty on workmanship, local homeowners choose us for reliable results and tidy sites.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re familiar with mixed ground conditions, including compacted clay patches and areas affected by poor drainage. We plan access for terraced streets and arrange turf and topsoil drops to minimise disruption and protect driveways. Where gardens sit on slopes or have older retaining edges, we set levels carefully to keep water moving away from buildings. Our turfing contractors Croydon area service is designed around real local constraints, not one-size-fits-all methods.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Croydon typically range from around £18–£35 per m² for turf supply and laying, depending on turf grade and access. If you need full lawn preparation, levelling, removal of old turf, or topsoil, budgets often sit closer to £35–£70 per m². Drainage installation is priced separately based on runs, depth and outlets. We’ll confirm a realistic range after a site visit.
Most domestic lawns can be turfed in 1 day once the ground is prepared. If we’re removing old turf, importing topsoil, levelling, or installing drainage, allow 1–3 days depending on size and site access. Seeding takes less time on the day but needs a longer establishment period. Weather, soil condition and delivery access in streets around CR0/CR2 can also affect scheduling.
In most cases, turfing and general garden improvements are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, changing drainage that affects neighbouring properties, or working near protected trees. Some modern developments also have management company restrictions. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and can advise on best practice for water run-off and boundary considerations.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our turfing installations, covering issues caused by incorrect preparation, levelling or laying. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on watering, mowing and seasonal conditions; we’ll give you a clear aftercare schedule to follow. If any areas struggle early on, we’ll inspect promptly and recommend practical fixes. Materials are supplied to a premium standard.
We can supply premium hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf for a sharper look, and shade-tolerant options for gardens with trees or tall fencing. Depending on timing and budget, we’ll also discuss seeding as an alternative, plus topsoil grades to improve structure. Edging details can be finished against paving, sleepers or metal edging for crisp lines. We’ll recommend the best combination based on sunlight, drainage and use.
