A great lawn starts with what’s underneath, and Pimlico gardens often need careful preparation before turf goes down. Whether you’re near Tate Britain or a short walk from Pimlico tube station, we create level, well-draining surfaces that stay green and usable. Our team handles lawn preparation, topsoil supply and professional turf laying with minimal disruption. The result is a clean, even finish that complements smart front gardens and private courtyards.
Homeowners across Pimlico, Westminster and Victoria typically have Regency townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions with compact outdoor spaces. These gardens can include old sub-bases, mixed fill and shaded corners, which affect how turf establishes. We select the right turf grade and adjust soil depth to suit balconies-turned-terraces, basement patios and traditional rear gardens. If access is tight through hallways or side passages, we plan deliveries and barrowing routes in advance.
Our process is simple: assess levels and drainage, strip and prepare the base, install topsoil, then lay and roll premium turf for tight seams. Where needed, we add drainage installation to prevent winter waterlogging and summer stress. You’ll receive clear aftercare advice on watering, first mowing and feeding so the lawn knits in quickly. Every job is finished to a high standard and backed by our workmanship warranty for peace of mind.
Pimlico’s mansion blocks and period streets can mean restricted access, timed deliveries and limited on-street parking. We plan around City of Westminster controls, using manageable loads and protecting communal routes where required. Ground conditions vary from compacted subsoil to made-up ground in older gardens, so we focus on correct soil depth, levelling and drainage. We also account for shade from tall terraces near Dolphin Square and St George’s Square when choosing turf and seeding options.

In Pimlico (SW1), professional turfing commonly ranges from about £45–£90 per m², depending on preparation. Simple turf replacement on a sound base sits at the lower end. Costs rise where you need excavation, lawn levelling, topsoil supply, drainage installation, or difficult access through mansion blocks and narrow passages. We provide a site visit and itemised quote so you can see exactly what’s included.
Most small to medium Pimlico lawns are prepared and turfed in 1–2 days. Larger gardens, major levelling, or adding drainage can extend this to 3–5 days. Access constraints, parking restrictions, and whether spoil needs removing from basement levels can also affect timings. Turf establishes over 2–3 weeks with correct watering, while heavier use is best avoided for around 4 weeks.
Turfing and most garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, in the City of Westminster there can be rules around working hours, waste removal, access through communal areas, and any changes that affect drainage run-off. If you’re in a listed building or conservation area, extra considerations may apply. We’ll flag potential issues early and help you check requirements before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty on the installed base and construction elements, such as preparation, levelling and any drainage we fit. Turf is a living product, so its performance depends on watering, mowing and weather; we provide clear aftercare advice to support establishment. If there’s an issue linked to our installation, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right.
We supply premium turf suited to how you use the space: hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for formal squares-style gardens, and shade-tolerant options for enclosed courtyards. We can also seed areas where access is very restricted or where you want a gradual establishment. If drainage is a concern, we’ll recommend soil improvements and drainage installation. We’ll help you choose based on sunlight, foot traffic and maintenance preferences.
