Kingston upon Thames has a mix of Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and modern waterfront apartments, each with different access and garden layouts. We regularly turf front gardens with narrow paths, long rear gardens that need careful levelling, and courtyards where drainage matters. For properties in New Malden and nearby streets, we plan deliveries and barrow routes to protect paving and borders. The aim is always the same: a lawn that suits the property and lasts.
We start with a site check, then move through lawn preparation, topsoil supply, levelling and turf laying (or seeding where appropriate). If the ground is holding water, we can install drainage before turf goes down, preventing soft spots and winter damage. We use premium turf and lay it properly—tight joints, correct rolling and watering guidance—so it knits quickly. Homeowners choose us because we’re consistent, punctual and back our work with a written 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames often have compact access, shared driveways and limited on-street parking, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Near the riverside, ground can stay wetter, making drainage and correct topsoil choice more important. We also see a mix of older garden soils and made-up ground around newer developments, so we adjust preparation depth and levelling methods. Our turfing contractors Kingston upon Thames area work to keep disruption low and finishes sharp.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary with access, preparation needs and whether you choose turf or seeding. As a guide, turf supply and laying commonly starts from around £25–£45 per m² for straightforward areas. If you need full lawn preparation, topsoil import, levelling and waste removal, budgets often sit nearer £45–£80+ per m². Drainage installation is typically priced after inspection, depending on runs, depth and outfalls.
Most lawns are completed in 1–2 days once the ground is ready, with larger gardens taking 2–4 days. The biggest time factors are excavation depth, removing old turf, bringing in topsoil, and achieving accurate levels. Poor access (common with some period homes) can slow barrowing and disposal. After laying, the lawn usually looks immediate, but allow 2–3 weeks for knitting in with proper watering.
Turfing and typical garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering drainage to the public sewer, working near protected trees, or making significant changes to levels close to boundaries. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra considerations may apply. We’ll flag any likely constraints and advise when it’s sensible to check with the council before work starts.
Yes. We provide a written 10-year warranty on workmanship for our turfing installations, covering issues caused by installation faults such as poor levels, inadequate preparation or improper laying. Living materials still depend on weather and aftercare, so the warranty doesn’t cover drought damage, pet urine scorching or neglect. We give clear watering and mowing guidance and can recommend ongoing maintenance to help the lawn establish strongly.
We supply premium turf options including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant blends for gardens with limited sun. Topsoil can be screened and blended to suit your existing ground, and we can add lawn levelling where you want a flatter finish for play or mowing. If you prefer a slower, budget-friendly approach, we also offer seeding. We’ll recommend the best option based on use, drainage and light levels.
