A great lawn in Richmond starts long before the turf goes down. We prepare the ground properly, level for a clean finish, and lay premium turf for an instant transformation. Whether you’re near Richmond Green or heading towards Kew, we tailor the build-up to your garden’s use and exposure. Our team works neatly and efficiently, keeping disruption to a minimum.
Richmond’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and riverside properties often have mature planting, tight side access and established borders that need careful protection. In TW9 and TW10 we regularly work on rear gardens where levels have drifted over time or where shade from trees affects grass performance. We’ll advise on turf type, drainage and whether seeding is better for certain areas. The result is a lawn that complements period features without looking forced or overly manicured.
Our process is straightforward: site visit, ground assessment, lawn preparation, topsoil supply as required, then turf laying and final levelling. Where needed, we install drainage to prevent waterlogging and improve year-round usability. We provide clear aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding so the lawn establishes quickly. Homeowners choose us for consistent standards, reliable scheduling and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we’re used to clay-heavy patches, compacted ground and shaded gardens near mature trees. Access can be restricted around terraces and riverside homes, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in parking constraints near Richmond Bridge and busier streets, keeping work tidy and compliant. Every lawn is built to suit how Richmond households actually use their gardens.

Costs in Richmond typically depend on preparation needs, access and whether topsoil or drainage is required. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts around £25–£45 per m² for straightforward areas. Where significant excavation, levelling, topsoil import or drainage installation is needed, budgets commonly rise to £50–£90+ per m². We’ll survey the garden and provide a clear, itemised range before booking.
Most lawns can be completed in 1–2 days, including preparation and turf laying, depending on size and access. Larger gardens, complex levelling, or drainage installation can extend the job to 3–5 days. Weather also matters: heavy rain can delay groundworks, while hot spells increase watering requirements after laying. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule and advise when the lawn can be used again.
Turfing and lawn replacement is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage run-off, working near protected trees, or making changes in a conservation area. If your property has specific restrictions, we’ll flag them during the site visit and can advise on best practice. We always aim to keep water management and boundaries compliant.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering installation-related issues such as poor levelling, inadequate preparation, or drainage work we’ve installed. Turf itself is a living product, so its long-term performance also depends on watering, mowing and seasonal care. We’ll give clear aftercare advice and can recommend maintenance visits if needed. Any concerns early on are handled promptly.
We supply premium turf suited to different needs, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options for gardens affected by trees. If you prefer, we can also seed areas where access is tight or where you want a more gradual establishment. We’ll advise on topsoil depth, levelling, edging lines and drainage solutions so the finished lawn looks natural with your planting and paths.
