If your garden needs a fresh start, our team can transform it with expert turfing and proper groundwork. We work across SM4, including Morden Park and routes around Morden station, keeping disruption low and access organised. Whether you want a family lawn, a smarter frontage, or to replace patchy grass, we tailor the build-up to your soil and usage. The result is a greener finish that looks right from day one.
Morden’s mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates and modern developments often comes with compacted ground, uneven levels, or tired lawns from years of footfall. In areas such as Lower Morden and St Helier, we regularly see shallow topsoil and drainage that struggles after heavy rain. Our local experience helps us specify the right topsoil depth, levelling method and turf type. That means fewer dips, better rooting, and a lawn that stays presentable through the seasons.
We start with a site visit, measure up, and agree a clear specification for lawn preparation, levelling and turf laying. Where needed, we install drainage, supply screened topsoil, or recommend seeding for shaded or low-traffic zones. Every job is finished with watering and mowing guidance, plus a handover checklist so you know exactly what to do in the first few weeks. Homeowners choose our turfing contractors Morden area because we’re punctual, tidy, and focused on long-term results.
Gardens around Morden Hall Park and nearby residential streets can have heavy, compacted soils that hold water, especially after wet spells. We plan access and waste removal carefully, factoring in parking restrictions and narrower driveways common with 1930s semis. Where levels fall towards patios or paths, we adjust falls and add drainage to protect hard landscaping. As turfing contractors in London Borough of Merton, we work to practical, durable standards rather than quick cosmetic fixes.

Costs in Morden typically depend on access, lawn size, and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts around £18–£35 per m², while full preparation with removal, levelling and topsoil can take totals to roughly £35–£70+ per m². Drainage, steps, or awkward access can increase labour. We provide a site-specific written quote after measuring.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days for an average rear garden, with larger plots or complex preparation taking 3–5 days. The biggest time factors are removing old turf, importing and spreading topsoil, and achieving accurate levels. Drainage installation or extensive regrading adds time, but improves long-term performance. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep you updated if weather affects laying conditions.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re changing levels significantly, affecting drainage onto neighbouring land, working near protected trees, or altering areas at the front of a property where surface water must soak away. If your project involves drainage runs or major regrading, we’ll flag any considerations and advise when it’s sensible to check with Merton Council.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installed landscaping elements we control, such as ground preparation, levelling and drainage installation. Turf is a living product, so successful establishment also depends on watering, mowing and weather; we provide clear aftercare instructions to protect your investment. If any issues arise linked to our installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put things right in line with the warranty terms.
We can supply premium turf options such as hard-wearing family lawn, finer ornamental turf for a neater finish, and shade-tolerant mixes for gardens with limited sun. If turf isn’t ideal, we can also seed areas or blend turf and seeding for best value. We’ll help you choose based on how you use the garden, pet activity, soil condition and light levels, then set the right topsoil and levelling specification.
