If your garden in Tolworth is patchy, bumpy or waterlogged, new turf can transform it fast. We install high-quality lawns for homes near Tolworth Tower and along Tolworth Broadway, with a focus on neat edges and a smooth finish. Every job starts with proper preparation, not just rolling turf over tired ground. The result is a lawn that looks smart and performs well in everyday family use.
Tolworth’s mix of 1930s semis, post-war houses and modern developments often comes with compacted subsoil, uneven levels or older garden drainage. We regularly work across KT5 and KT6, as well as nearby Surbiton and Worcester Park, so we’re used to the access and layout challenges of side passages and rear gardens. Whether you want a fresh lawn for children, pets, or a cleaner look for selling, we tailor the build-up to the site. That means the right topsoil depth, correct falls, and a finish that suits your property.
Our turfing process covers lawn preparation, levelling, optional drainage installation, and precise turf laying using premium-grade rolls. We can also supply topsoil, improve poor ground, or seed areas where turf isn’t the best fit. You’ll get clear aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding so the lawn establishes strongly. Homeowners choose us because we’re reliable, tidy on site, and back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
As turfing contractors in the Tolworth area, we plan around typical suburban access, parking constraints and tidy working practices. Gardens here can sit on compacted ground that holds water, so we often recommend drainage channels or a free-draining topsoil blend. We also account for levels around patios, paths and thresholds to avoid water running back towards the house. Where needed, we can coordinate waste removal and keep disruption low for neighbours.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in Tolworth typically depend on lawn size, access, and how much preparation is needed. As a guide, turf supply and laying often ranges from £18–£35 per m². If you need full lawn preparation, levelling and topsoil, budgets commonly sit around £35–£70 per m². Drainage installation, waste removal and awkward access can increase the total, so we survey first and price transparently.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days, with smaller lawns sometimes completed in a day. Preparation can take longer than laying, especially if we’re removing old turf, importing topsoil, or installing drainage. Weather also matters: heavy rain can delay groundworks and make levelling less accurate. After installation, you’ll usually need 2–3 weeks of careful watering and light use while the turf roots in.
In most cases, turfing and general garden improvements are permitted and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, changing drainage that affects neighbouring properties, or working near protected trees. If your home is in a conservation area or you’re combining turfing with hard landscaping, extra checks may be sensible. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise on the best compliant approach.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, which includes the quality of installation such as correct preparation, levelling and turf laying standards. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on watering, mowing at the right time, and avoiding heavy use early on. We provide aftercare guidance and can offer follow-up visits if needed. Issues caused by neglect, pests or extreme weather aren’t typically covered.
We can supply premium turf options suited to how you use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant mixes for areas near trees or fences. Where turf isn’t ideal, we also offer seeding for larger areas or to blend edges. We’ll help you choose based on sunlight, drainage, soil condition and maintenance preferences, then recommend feeding and mowing routines to keep it looking its best.
