From Victorian terraces and Georgian houses to converted flats with shared gardens, New Cross has varied outdoor spaces and access constraints. We’re used to narrow side returns, stepped patios and compact rear gardens, especially around Deptford, Brockley and Peckham. That local experience helps us plan deliveries, protect existing paving and work efficiently without disrupting neighbours. We also tailor turf choice and soil build-up to the way your garden is used.
Our process starts with removing old turf and weeds, then improving the base with quality topsoil supply, lawn levelling and compaction. If the area holds water, we can add drainage installation before laying premium turf or seeding where appropriate. We finish with edging, a final level check and practical aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping because we’re consistent, punctual and back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we regularly work on clay-heavy soils that compact and drain slowly. Around Telegraph Hill and the SE14 streets near Goldsmiths University, access can be tight and parking controlled, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for shaded gardens and high footfall from shared households, selecting turf and soil blends that cope better. The result is a lawn that beds in quickly and stays level.
