Earl’s Court gardens often need smart, space-efficient solutions that still look premium. Whether you’re near Earl’s Court tube station or updating a courtyard close to Philbeach Gardens, we create lawns that feel established from day one. We specialise in lawn preparation, topsoil supply and precision turf laying to deliver a clean finish. Expect tidy working practices and a lawn that’s ready for family life and entertaining.
The Earl’s Court area is known for Victorian architecture, mansion conversions and garden square properties, where access and levels can be challenging. We regularly work for homeowners in Kensington, West Brompton and Fulham, improving tired lawns and shaded plots. Period flats with shared gardens benefit from careful lawn levelling and drainage planning. We match turf choice and soil build-up to how the space is used, from play areas to formal lawns.
Our process starts with a site visit to assess levels, drainage and sunlight, then we remove old turf, improve the base and install topsoil as needed. We can add drainage installation where lawns stay waterlogged, before laying premium turf for a tight, even seam. Every job includes practical aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, consistent workmanship and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Working across the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we’re used to tight access, basement lightwells and shared pathways common around SW5. Parking and loading can be restricted, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Many gardens sit between buildings, creating shade and slower drying ground, so we adjust soil structure and turf selection accordingly. We also keep finishes neat for communal areas and managed blocks.

Costs in Earl’s Court typically range from £45–£90 per m² for full supply and lay, depending on access, waste removal and how much ground preparation is required. If the lawn needs significant levelling, topsoil import or drainage installation, budgets often sit around £1,200–£3,500 for small to medium SW5 gardens. We’ll provide an itemised quote after a site assessment.
Most turfing projects take 1–2 days for small gardens and 2–4 days for larger plots, assuming access is straightforward. Time is mainly affected by removing old turf, bringing levels up with topsoil, and any drainage installation. If the ground is very compacted or uneven, preparation can add a day. You can usually walk on the lawn lightly after 2–3 days, with mowing after 10–14 days.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working in a conservation area, affecting tree roots, or changing drainage that could impact neighbouring properties. For communal gardens in mansion blocks, freeholder or managing agent approval may also be needed. We’ll flag likely requirements and can help you check the relevant council guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which applies to issues caused by installation errors such as poor base preparation, inadequate levelling, or incorrect falls that lead to persistent pooling. Turf is a living product, so its long-term condition also depends on watering, mowing and seasonal care, plus weather extremes. We provide aftercare instructions and can schedule follow-up visits to keep the lawn establishing well.
We supply premium turf options including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for formal spaces, and shade-tolerant mixes suited to enclosed SW5 gardens. If you prefer a slower, lower-cost approach, we can also seed areas after improving the soil and levels. We’ll advise on drainage, topsoil depth and edging details to suit your layout, pets, and how often the lawn will be used.
