A great lawn starts below the surface, not with a quick roll-out. Our team installs new turf across Streatham, from Streatham Hill to Streatham Vale, with proper ground preparation and accurate lawn levelling. Whether your garden sits near Streatham Common or just off Streatham High Road, we’ll create a clean, usable finish. Expect tidy edges, smooth levels and a lawn that beds in quickly.
Streatham’s mix of Victorian and Edwardian houses, mansion flats and modern apartments often means compact rear gardens, side returns and shared access routes. We’re used to working around narrow alleys, steps and existing patios, and we plan deliveries so turf and topsoil arrive without disrupting neighbours. If your lawn has suffered from shade, heavy footfall or patchy growth, we’ll recommend the right approach for your plot. Homeowners in SW16 and SW2 rely on us for practical solutions that suit real gardens.
We begin with a site check, then strip out old turf and weeds, improve the base with quality topsoil, and install drainage where needed. Next comes fine grading and firming to prevent dips, followed by precise turf laying or seeding for the right season. We finish with clear aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding so the lawn establishes properly. All work is completed to a consistent standard, with transparent communication from start to finish.
As turfing contractors in the London Borough of Lambeth, we regularly deal with compact gardens, mixed soil profiles and shaded areas from mature trees. Around Streatham Park and Streatham Common, drainage and levelling can be crucial where lawns hold water after heavy rain. We plan around controlled parking and delivery access on busy residential streets, keeping disruption low. Our approach is tailored to the property style and how you actually use the space.

Costs vary with access, lawn size and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, turf supply and laying often starts around £25–£45 per m², while full preparation (removing old lawn, adding topsoil, levelling) can bring totals to roughly £45–£85 per m². Drainage installation, steps, or difficult access in SW16/SW2 may increase costs. We provide a clear, itemised estimate after a site visit.
Most domestic lawns can be completed in 1–2 days, including preparation and turf laying. Larger gardens, significant levelling, or adding drainage may extend the job to 2–4 days. Weather also matters: heavy rain can delay soil preparation, while very hot spells require careful scheduling and immediate watering. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before we start and keep you updated throughout.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works affect protected trees or shared boundaries. Drainage changes may also need consideration if water is being redirected. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise what to check with Lambeth Council before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our installation workmanship, covering issues such as poor laying practices, inadequate base preparation or levelling defects attributable to our work. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on correct watering, mowing and seasonal conditions; we’ll give clear aftercare guidance to support strong rooting. If any concerns arise early on, we’ll inspect promptly and advise the best remedy.
We can supply premium hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf for a neater look, and shade-tolerant options where light is limited. If you prefer, we also offer seeding for larger areas or where budgets and timing suit. We’ll help you choose based on usage (pets, play, entertaining), sun exposure and drainage. Edging details and levels are planned so the lawn meets patios, paths and borders cleanly.
