If your garden looks tired, patchy or waterlogged, new turf can transform it in a day. Our team works across Dartford, including DA1 and DA2, with tidy, efficient turfing that suits family gardens and modern outdoor spaces. We’re often called out near Central Park and around Swanscombe for lawn levelling and fresh turf after building works. Every installation starts with proper preparation so the finish looks sharp and lasts.
Dartford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and new developments means no two lawns are the same. Smaller rear gardens in older streets often need careful access planning, while newer estates in Greenhithe and Wilmington can require drainage tweaks and regrading after landscaping or extensions. We match turf type and soil build-up to how you use the space—pets, play, shade, or entertaining. The result is a lawn that feels established, not rushed.
Our process is straightforward: remove debris and old turf, improve levels, add quality topsoil where needed, then lay premium turf with tight joins and clean edges. Where ground holds water, we can install drainage before turfing to prevent future sogginess. We finish with watering guidance, mowing timelines and seasonal aftercare advice so the lawn roots in properly. Homeowners choose our turfing contractors dartford area because we turn up on time, leave sites clean, and stand by the workmanship.
Gardens in Dartford Borough often have compact access, shared drives and limited parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Where ground is heavy or compacted—common after renovations—we improve structure with screened topsoil and correct grading. We also account for slopes and run-off on plots near major routes like the Dartford Crossing, ensuring levels direct water away from patios and paths. Our approach is tailored, not a one-size-fits-all roll-out.

As a guide, turfing in Dartford typically ranges from £18–£35 per m² for supply and lay, depending on turf grade and access. If you need full lawn preparation, levelling and topsoil, budgets often fall around £35–£60 per m². Drainage installation, removal of old turf, and extensive ground repairs can increase costs. We’ll survey the garden and provide a clear, itemised estimate.
Most small to medium lawns can be prepared and turfed within 1 day, while larger gardens or those needing significant levelling usually take 2–3 days. Timescales depend on access for materials, how much old turf must be removed, whether topsoil is required, and if drainage needs installing first. Weather can also affect ground preparation quality. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Turfing and general lawn improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels substantially, altering drainage that affects neighbouring land, or working near protected trees or conservation constraints. If your project is part of a larger renovation, we’ll flag any potential issues early. We can also advise on good practice for run-off and boundary considerations in Dartford Borough.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our turfing installations, covering issues caused by incorrect preparation, levelling or laying (such as poor joins or uneven finish). Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on watering, mowing and seasonal conditions; we’ll give clear aftercare instructions to protect your investment. If any workmanship-related problems appear, we’ll inspect and put them right promptly.
We can supply and lay premium turf options such as hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf for a smarter finish, and shade-tolerant choices for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer, we can also seed areas for blending or repairing edges, and provide screened topsoil to improve growth. We’ll help you choose based on foot traffic, pets, soil condition and how quickly you want the lawn to establish.
