If your garden needs a fresh start, we supply and lay premium turf for a clean, even finish that transforms outdoor space quickly. We regularly work across SE13, including routes near Lewisham station and around Ladywell. Whether you want a family lawn, a tidy frontage, or a smarter garden for entertaining, we tailor the build-up to suit your site. Expect neat edges, consistent levels and a lawn that beds in properly.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often brings varied garden shapes, access points and existing ground conditions. Rear gardens behind terraces can be narrow for barrow access, while newer plots may have compacted subsoil from construction. We plan turfing around these realities, protecting paths and thresholds and making sure levels meet patios and borders cleanly. Homeowners in Blackheath, Hither Green and Lee rely on us for tidy workmanship and practical advice.
Our process starts with proper lawn preparation: clearing, cultivating, grading and correcting levels before any turf is unrolled. Where needed, we add screened topsoil, install drainage to prevent waterlogging, or recommend seeding for shaded or low-traffic areas. We only lay turf on a firm, even base and finish with thorough watering guidance and aftercare advice. With clear communication, punctual scheduling and a 10-year warranty on workmanship, local homeowners know what to expect.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham can vary from free-draining sandy pockets to heavier, compacted ground, especially near newer developments. We assess soil structure, shade and fall, then adjust topsoil depth and levelling to prevent dips and dry patches. Access and parking can be tight near Lewisham Shopping Centre and busy streets, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is a lawn that suits the property style and the way you use the garden.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Lewisham typically range from about £18–£35 per m² for supply and laying, depending on turf grade and access. If you need full lawn preparation, levelling, topsoil supply or removal of old turf, budget more—often £35–£70 per m² all-in. Drainage installation, steep slopes and awkward rear access behind terraces can also increase labour and disposal costs.
Most lawns can be prepared and turfed in 1–2 days, with larger gardens taking 2–4 days. Timescales depend on how much excavation is required, whether you need topsoil brought in, and if lawn levelling or drainage installation is included. Weather matters too: very wet ground may need a short delay to avoid compaction, while hot spells require more immediate watering after laying.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering land levels significantly, affecting drainage to neighbouring properties, or working on listed buildings or within conservation areas. If drainage connects to existing systems, we’ll advise on best practice and any permissions that might apply. We can also help you check relevant council guidance before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our turfing installations, covering issues such as poor levelling, inadequate base preparation or installation-related defects. Turf is a living product, so long-term performance also depends on watering, mowing height, feeding and general care—especially in the first 4–6 weeks. We give clear aftercare advice and can return for maintenance visits if you’d like ongoing support.
We supply premium turf options including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer, we can seed areas where access is difficult or where you want a lower-cost approach, using quality grass seed blends suited to use and soil type. We also offer topsoil supply, lawn levelling and edging finishes. We’ll recommend the best choice after assessing light, drainage and foot traffic.
