Costs in Tooting usually depend on lawn size, access, and how much preparation is required. As a guide, turf supply and laying often ranges from £25–£45 per m². If you need full lawn preparation (removing old turf, adding topsoil, levelling), budgets commonly sit around £45–£85 per m². Drainage installation or significant waste removal can increase this, especially for tight-access Victorian gardens.
