If your garden in CR7 is patchy, bumpy or waterlogged, new turf is the quickest way to transform it. We install fresh lawns across Thornton Heath, from homes near Thornton Heath station to properties by Grangewood Park. Every job starts with proper lawn preparation, not just rolling turf onto tired ground. The result is a lawn that beds in well and stays even underfoot.
Thornton Heath’s well-connected streets include Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and many 1930s houses, often with compact rear gardens and side returns. That mix means access can be tight and levels can vary from old paths, extensions and previous landscaping. We’re used to working around shared boundaries, steps and narrow gateways in Broad Green, Selhurst and South Norwood. Our team plans deliveries and turf laying to minimise disruption and keep the site tidy.
Our process covers lawn levelling, topsoil supply, drainage installation where needed, and either turf laying or seeding for the right finish. We use premium turf supply matched to how you’ll use the garden—family play, pets or a showier front lawn. You’ll also get clear aftercare advice on watering, first cuts and feeding so the lawn establishes quickly. Homeowners choose us because we’re local (around 5 minutes away), consistent, and we stand behind our workmanship.
As turfing contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re familiar with variable ground conditions and gardens affected by shade, clay and historic compaction. Parking and access can be restricted on residential roads near Thornton Heath Pond and the station, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Where gardens sit lower than patios or paths, we adjust levels and add topsoil to achieve clean falls. This local approach helps prevent uneven lawns and drainage issues later.

Costs vary with garden size, access, and how much preparation is required. As a guide in Thornton Heath, supply-and-lay turfing often starts around £25–£45 per m², while heavier prep (removing old lawn, adding topsoil, levelling) can take it to £45–£80 per m². Drainage installation is usually priced separately depending on layout. We’ll survey and provide a clear, itemised range.
Most turf laying jobs are completed in 1 day for small to medium gardens, with larger or more complex sites taking 2–3 days. Timescales depend on access (narrow side passages), how much lawn preparation is needed, and whether we’re adding topsoil, levelling, or drainage. Seeding takes less installation time but longer to establish. We’ll confirm a schedule before starting and keep disruption minimal.
Turfing and typical garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t need planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage onto neighbouring land, or working on a listed property. If drainage connects to existing systems, we’ll also consider best practice and any local requirements. We’re happy to advise and, where needed, help you check guidance relevant to your Croydon address.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty on the installed landscaping elements, including preparation and levelling work, where applicable. Turf itself is a living product, so its success also depends on watering, mowing and weather conditions, which we’ll explain clearly. If issues arise due to installation—such as poor levels or inadequate base preparation—we’ll put them right. You’ll receive aftercare guidance to protect your investment.
We can supply and lay several lawn options depending on how you use the space. Popular choices include hard-wearing family turf, finer ornamental turf for a neat finish, and shade-tolerant mixes for gardens affected by fences or trees. We also offer seeding where budgets or access make turf less practical. During the visit, we’ll assess sunlight, drainage and foot traffic, then recommend the best option for your garden.
