Sanderstead is known for larger detached houses, executive homes and well-kept period properties with generous rear gardens. These plots often need careful levelling to create a smooth, usable surface for family life and entertaining. We also work on side access constraints and protect existing planting, patios and driveways. For clients in the turfing contractors Sanderstead area, we tailor the build-up to the garden’s use and exposure.
Our process starts with a site visit and clear specification: remove old turf, improve the base, correct levels and install drainage where needed. We supply premium turf, lay it tightly with staggered joints, then roll and water-in for strong contact. You’ll receive practical aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding to help the lawn establish. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, reliable scheduling and a written 10-year warranty.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from free-draining slopes to heavier, compacted ground that holds water. We assess soil structure, shade from mature trees near Sanderstead Plantation, and likely wear patterns. Access and parking can be tight on residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Our build-ups and edging details are chosen to suit larger plots and higher-finish landscaping.

Costs depend on access, existing lawn removal, levels and whether topsoil or drainage is needed. As a guide, supply-and-lay turfing commonly starts around £25–£45 per m² for straightforward gardens. Where significant excavation, levelling, topsoil import or drainage installation is required, budgets often fall in the £45–£80+ per m² range. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring and checking the base.
Most domestic lawns are completed in 1–2 days, including preparation and turf laying. Larger gardens or projects needing extensive levelling, topsoil supply, or drainage installation may take 2–4 days. Weather affects timing, as very wet ground can’t be compacted or levelled properly. Access also matters: narrow side passages can slow material handling, so we plan deliveries and labour accordingly.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering land levels significantly, changing drainage that affects neighbouring properties, or working near protected trees. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra checks may be needed. We’ll flag any potential issues and can advise what to confirm with the London Borough of Croydon before work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which includes issues caused by installation errors such as poor levels, inadequate base preparation, or turf lifting due to incorrect laying. Living turf is also affected by watering, mowing and extreme weather, so correct aftercare is essential. We provide clear guidance and can recommend a maintenance schedule to help the lawn establish strongly in the first 6–8 weeks.
We can supply premium turf types suited to your garden’s conditions, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options where trees reduce light. Topsoil supply can be tailored for better structure and drainage, and we can add seeding to blend edges or repair small areas. Finishes include crisp edging lines, gentle falls away from the house, and optional drainage runs. We’ll recommend the best combination after assessing use, sun and soil.
