Dulwich has an affluent village atmosphere and outstanding period architecture, and many gardens sit behind Georgian and Victorian houses or larger detached properties. These plots often have mature trees, shaded corners and established borders that need thoughtful turf selection and soil conditioning. We’re used to working around heritage features, tight side access and existing irrigation or lighting. If your lawn has dips, moss or patchy growth, we’ll address the causes before laying turf.
Our process starts with a site visit, then lawn preparation, topsoil supply where needed, and precise lawn levelling for a smooth surface. We can also install drainage to prevent waterlogging and offer seeding for areas better suited to establishment from seed. Every job is completed with clear aftercare advice, including watering schedules and first-mow guidance. Local homeowners choose us for reliable timings, tidy workmanship and results that bed in quickly.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for common constraints like controlled parking, narrow drives and limited side access in SE21 and SE24.

We adjust topsoil depth, drainage and turf choice to suit those conditions. We also schedule deliveries and removals to minimise disruption on residential streets.

Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installed lawn base and laying standards, covering issues such as poor levels caused by installation errors or turf not being laid to specification. Living materials are affected by weather, watering and foot traffic, so turf health is supported by our aftercare guidance rather than guaranteed in all circumstances. We’ll also return to inspect any concerns early on and advise corrective steps.
We can supply and lay several turf types, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and more shade-tolerant blends for tree-lined gardens. Topsoil options range from screened premium topsoil to soil improvers where existing ground is tired or compacted. We can also add drainage installation, edging adjustments, and seeding for awkward corners or repairs. We’ll recommend the best combination based on light levels, usage, pets and desired look.
