If your garden in CR4 is patchy, compacted or waterlogged, new turf can transform it in a day. We install fresh lawns across Mitcham Common and Pollards Hill, tailoring the build-up to your soil and how you use the space. Our team takes care of lawn preparation, topsoil improvements and neat edging lines. The result is a lawn that looks established quickly, not a quick cover-up.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates often comes with very different garden challenges. Older homes can have tired ground, rubble below the surface or uneven levels from past landscaping. Newer plots may have compacted subsoil from construction traffic and poor drainage. As turfing contractors Mitcham area homeowners recommend, we adapt the base, levels and drainage so the lawn stays flat and healthy.
We start with a site visit, then strip out old turf and weeds, improve the soil profile and set accurate falls for surface water. Where needed, we install drainage, supply quality topsoil, and finish with careful turf laying and rolling for strong root contact. We work tidily, protect access routes, and leave you with clear watering and mowing guidance. Local clients choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens around Mitcham Cricket Green and Figges Marsh can vary from free-draining pockets to heavier, compacted ground that holds water. We plan deliveries and waste removal with local access and parking in mind, especially on tighter residential roads. As turfing contractors in London Borough of Merton, we also factor in boundary levels, neighbouring run-off and practical routes through side passages. The aim is a lawn that performs well in real Mitcham conditions, not just on day one.

Costs in Mitcham typically depend on access, ground condition and whether you need levelling or drainage. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts around £18–£35 per m², while full preparation with topsoil, waste removal and levelling can be £35–£70+ per m². Small gardens may have a minimum charge. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised estimate before booking.
Most Mitcham lawns are completed in 1–2 days for an average back garden, including removal and turf laying. Larger plots, significant levelling, drainage installation or poor access can extend the job to 3–5 days. Weather also matters: very wet ground can delay preparation, while hot spells increase watering needs immediately after laying. We’ll confirm a realistic programme after the site visit.
Turfing a rear garden is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage run-off, working near protected trees, or making changes to the front garden that impact highways or paving. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and, where needed, advise on checking London Borough of Merton guidance before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which includes installation standards such as correct preparation, levels and turf laying. Living materials can be affected by weather, watering and foot traffic, so we also provide clear aftercare guidance to help the turf establish. If any areas fail due to installation-related issues, we’ll inspect promptly and agree the right remedy, including localised re-turfing where appropriate.
We can supply a range of premium turf options, including hard-wearing family lawns, fine ornamental turf for a neater look, and shade-tolerant blends for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer, we can also seed areas or combine seeding with turf for phased budgets. We’ll help you choose based on soil condition, pets/children, mowing preferences and how quickly you want the lawn to look established.
