A great lawn starts below the surface, not with a quick roll-out. Our team provides full lawn preparation, premium turf supply and professional laying across CR2, including homes near South Croydon station and Lloyd Park. Whether you’re replacing tired grass or finishing a new patio project, we create a level, well-draining base for long-term results. Expect tidy work, sharp edges and clear advice on watering and first cuts.
South Croydon is known for leafy roads, excellent schools and generous gardens, from Victorian villas to 1930s semis and large detached houses. These properties often have mature trees, shaded corners and lawns that have compacted over time. We tailor turf choice and preparation to suit how your garden is used—pets, play, entertaining or a low-maintenance front lawn. If you’re in Sanderstead, Purley or nearby Croydon, we’ll plan access and waste removal to keep disruption minimal.
Our process is simple and thorough: remove old turf, install or improve drainage where needed, supply quality topsoil, level and grade, then lay fresh turf with tight joints and clean borders. We can also seed areas where turf isn’t ideal, such as steep banks or awkward shapes. You’ll receive practical aftercare advice so the lawn establishes quickly and evenly. Homeowners choose us because we focus on preparation, finish on schedule, and stand behind our workmanship.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens can vary from free-draining slopes to heavier, compacted ground that holds water. We assess levels, runoff and shaded areas—especially near woodland edges such as Croham Hurst Woods—then adjust soil depth and drainage accordingly. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we plan deliveries and removal to keep things efficient. The result is a lawn that beds in evenly and stays usable in wet spells.

Costs in South Croydon vary with access, lawn size and how much groundwork is required. As a guide, turf supply and laying often falls around £18–£35 per m². If you need full lawn preparation, levelling, topsoil import or drainage, budgets commonly rise to £35–£70+ per m². We’ll survey your garden and provide a clear breakdown so you can compare like-for-like.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days for an average back garden once materials are on site. Larger plots, steep levels or heavy removal of old turf can push this to 2–4 days, especially if drainage installation or significant topsoil grading is needed. Weather also matters: very wet ground can delay preparation, while hot spells increase watering needs immediately after laying.
Turfing and general lawn replacement is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Croydon. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage that runs onto highways or neighbours, or working near protected trees. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra considerations may apply. We’ll flag potential issues during the site visit and advise what to check.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for the installed base and construction elements such as levelling and drainage where included. Turf itself is a living product, so establishment depends on correct watering, mowing and avoiding heavy use early on; we’ll give you a clear aftercare plan. If any areas fail due to installation issues, we’ll return to assess and put it right.
We can supply premium turf suited to your garden’s conditions, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options for tree-lined plots. Where turf is impractical, we can seed with durable rye mixes or finer fescue blends. We also offer topsoil improvements, lawn edging refinements and drainage upgrades to support long-term health. We’ll recommend the best option based on sunlight, soil type and how you use the space.
