If your lawn is patchy, muddy or uneven, professional turfing makes an immediate difference. We work across Orpington, including BR5 and BR6, with jobs near Orpington station and Priory Gardens. Our service covers lawn preparation, premium turf supply and precise turf laying for a clean, straight edge. You’ll get a lawn that looks great now and performs well through the seasons.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates often comes with tired lawns, compacted soil and uneven levels from years of use. We regularly turf gardens in Petts Wood, St Mary Cray and Farnborough, tailoring the build-up to each plot. Where access is tight, we plan deliveries and barrow routes to protect paths and driveways. The result is a lawn that suits family life and adds kerb appeal.
Our process starts with removing old turf and weeds, then levelling and improving the base with quality topsoil where needed. We install drainage where waterlogging is an issue, then lay fresh turf with tight joints and correct rolling for strong root contact. You’ll receive clear aftercare advice for watering, first mowing and feeding, so the lawn establishes quickly. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the London Borough of Bromley can vary from free-draining sandy pockets to heavier, compacted clay that holds water. We assess levels and runoff, especially where lawns slope towards patios or paths, and recommend topsoil build-ups or drainage channels accordingly. Access and parking around the High Street and near The Walnuts Shopping Centre can affect delivery timing, so we plan logistics to keep the job smooth. Our approach suits everything from 1930s plots to newer estate gardens.

Costs depend on lawn size, access, ground condition and whether you need topsoil, levelling or drainage. In Orpington, supply-and-lay turfing commonly starts from around £18–£35 per m² for straightforward areas. If excavation, significant levelling, topsoil import or drainage installation is required, budgets can rise to roughly £35–£70+ per m². We provide a site visit and itemised quote so you can compare like-for-like.
Most domestic lawns can be prepared and turfed in 1–2 days, with larger gardens sometimes taking 2–4 days. Timescales depend on how much old turf needs removing, whether levelling or topsoil import is required, and if drainage installation is included. Weather can also affect ground preparation and turf handling. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule and explain when you can walk on it and do the first mow.
Turfing and typical garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering land levels significantly, installing extensive drainage outfalls, working near protected trees, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. We’ll flag anything that may need consent and can advise on best practice for disposal and site management. When in doubt, we recommend checking with Bromley Council before work begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installation standards, including correct preparation, levels and laying practices. Living materials like turf are affected by watering, mowing, shade and weather, so establishment success also depends on aftercare. We provide clear guidance and are happy to check any early issues such as lifting edges or low spots. If a problem is linked to our installation, we’ll put it right.
We can supply premium turf suited to how you use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes for areas near trees or fences. If you prefer, we also offer seeding for larger areas or where budgets and timings suit. We’ll advise on topsoil depth, levelling and drainage options to match your site. The goal is a lawn that looks right and performs well year-round.
