A great lawn starts below the surface, and that’s where our team focuses first. We turf gardens across SE15, from Queen’s Road to the edges of Peckham Rye Park, with careful preparation and tidy workmanship. Whether you want a family-friendly lawn or a crisp finish for entertaining, we’ll recommend the right turf and build the base properly. Expect clear timelines, clean edges and a lawn that looks good from day one.
Peckham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted warehouses often brings tricky access, uneven ground and compacted soil from years of use. We’re used to narrow side returns in Nunhead and courtyard-style spaces near Copeland Park, where materials and waste need managing efficiently. If your garden sits under shade from mature trees or tall neighbouring buildings, we’ll advise on turf choice and aftercare to help it thrive. Our local experience means fewer surprises once work begins.
Our process covers lawn preparation, topsoil supply, levelling, turf laying and optional drainage installation where waterlogging is an issue. We set levels to suit patios, paths and thresholds, then lay turf tightly for a seamless finish and strong root contact. You’ll get practical aftercare advice for watering and first mowing, plus support if you have questions during establishment. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat sites and results that last.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we regularly work around parking restrictions, controlled bays and tight access typical of SE15 streets. Peckham gardens can suffer from compacted subsoil and poor drainage, especially after building works or heavy foot traffic. We adapt with soil improvement, careful grading and drainage installation where needed. For terraces and warehouse conversions, we plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Peckham vary with access, ground condition and whether you need topsoil or drainage. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts around £25–£45 per m². Full lawn preparation with levelling and quality topsoil commonly falls in the £45–£80+ per m² range. Small gardens can cost more per m² due to set-up and disposal. We provide itemised quotes after a site visit.
Most lawns are completed in 1–2 days once the area is cleared, with turf laying typically done the same day as final levelling. Larger gardens or sites needing extra excavation, topsoil build-up or drainage can take 2–4 days. Timescales also depend on access for materials, weather, and whether old turf, rubble or roots must be removed. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near boundaries, affecting drainage routes, or if the property is listed or in a conservation area. Southwark-specific requirements may also affect skips, parking suspensions or waste removal. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and can advise on what to check before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the installed groundworks, such as levels, edging and drainage components where fitted. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on watering, mowing and weather, but we lay it to best practice to promote strong rooting. If you notice settlement, uneven areas or drainage problems linked to our installation, we’ll return to inspect and put it right under warranty.
We supply and lay several turf types, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf and shade-tolerant blends for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer a slower, budget-friendly approach, we can also seed areas after proper soil preparation. Options like topsoil improvement, levelling for play areas, and drainage installation help performance long-term. We’ll recommend the best choice based on foot traffic, pets, sunlight and maintenance preferences.
