If your garden in SE5 needs a fresh start, our turfing team delivers a lawn that looks right from day one. We work across Denmark Hill, including near Denmark Hill station and King’s College Hospital, with tidy, well-planned installations. Expect proper lawn preparation, accurate levels and clean edges that suit patios, paths and borders. Whether you want family-friendly turf or a smarter finish for entertaining, we’ll tailor the build-up beneath the grass.
Denmark Hill’s Victorian terraces and Georgian houses often have long, narrow gardens with mixed soils and compacted ground from years of foot traffic. Purpose-built flats can also have shared lawns that need careful access planning and minimal disruption. We’re used to working around side returns, basement lightwells and tight gates common in Camberwell and Herne Hill. That local experience helps us choose the right topsoil depth, turf type and drainage approach for a lawn that establishes quickly.
Our process starts with a site check, then we strip, grade and level the area before adding screened topsoil where needed. We install drainage solutions for persistently wet patches, then lay premium turf with tight joints and firm consolidation for a smooth finish. You’ll receive clear aftercare advice on watering, first mowing and feeding, plus optional seeding for repairs. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean workmanship and a finish that lasts.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for varied ground conditions, from compacted clay pockets to free-draining made ground. Access can be tight around Victorian terraces, so we organise deliveries, barrowing routes and waste removal to keep disruption down. We also factor in parking and loading restrictions near Ruskin Park and busy routes by the hospitals. The result is a smoother install and fewer surprises on the day.

Costs vary with access, ground condition and whether you need topsoil or drainage. As a guide, professional turf supply and laying is often around £20–£40 per m². If the lawn needs full preparation, levelling and new topsoil, budgets commonly sit closer to £45–£80 per m². Drainage installation or extensive removal of old turf can add more. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring.
Most small to medium gardens can be turfed in 1 day once preparation is complete. If we’re removing old lawn, importing topsoil, installing drainage or doing significant levelling, allow 2–3 days depending on size and access. Weather can also affect timing, especially if the ground is saturated. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule and keep you updated so you can plan around deliveries and watering.
Turfing and typical garden improvements are usually permitted development and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if your property is listed, in a conservation area, or if you’re altering levels significantly or affecting drainage to neighbouring land. If you’re in a flat with communal grounds, you may also need freeholder or management approval. We’ll flag any likely issues and help you check requirements before work starts.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on the installed lawn build-up and levelling where specified, covering issues caused by installation defects. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on watering, mowing and seasonal conditions; we provide clear aftercare to maximise success. If a problem arises linked to our installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right. Optional maintenance visits are available.
We supply premium turf options to suit how you use the space, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for a smarter look, and shade-tolerant choices for gardens with tall boundaries. We can also improve the base with screened topsoil, install drainage for wet areas, or use seeding for patch repairs and cost-effective larger spaces. We’ll recommend the best option after assessing sunlight, footfall and soil condition.
