Whether you’re refreshing a tired patch or creating a new lawn after landscaping, we aim for clean edges and an even finish. Expect practical aftercare advice so your turf roots in properly.
Wandsworth is a popular family area with excellent schools and transport links, so gardens need to be hard-wearing and low-fuss. We regularly work on Victorian and Edwardian houses with long, narrow rear gardens, as well as modern riverside apartments that need neat communal lawns. Shaded boundaries, compacted ground and uneven levels are common, particularly in older plots. Our turfing contractors Wandsworth area clients rely on us to tailor the build-up for each site.
Our process is straightforward: assess levels and drainage, remove old turf, improve the soil profile, then lay premium turf with tight joints and correct rolling. Where needed, we install drainage to prevent winter waterlogging and summer die-back. We work tidily, keep access routes protected, and leave you with a clear watering and mowing plan. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, around 20 minutes away, so support is close by when you need it.
Gardens in the London Borough of Wandsworth often have compacted soil from renovations and heavy foot traffic, plus shaded edges from mature trees near parks like King George's Park. Access can be tight on terraced streets in Earlsfield and Southfields, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also factor in parking and loading restrictions around busier routes and shopping areas. The result is a turf installation designed for the way Wandsworth gardens are actually used.

Costs in Wandsworth typically range from £25–£45 per m² for supply and lay, depending on turf grade and access. If you need full lawn preparation (removing old turf, adding topsoil, levelling), budgets often sit around £45–£80 per m². Drainage installation, steep slopes, or difficult access near flats can increase the figure. We provide a site-specific quote after measuring and checking levels.
Most small to medium lawns in SW18 can be completed in 1 day for supply and lay, or 1–2 days if preparation is required. Larger gardens, significant levelling, or drainage installation can take 2–4 days. Weather matters: heavy rain can delay soil preparation, while hot spells may require earlier starts and more frequent watering. We’ll confirm timescales once we’ve assessed access and ground conditions.
Turfing and typical garden lawn works are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Wandsworth. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, working near protected trees, or changing front gardens in ways that affect drainage onto the highway. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, extra checks may be sensible. We’ll flag any potential issues and advise on best practice.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for our turfing installations, covering issues such as poor levelling, inadequate fixing, or failures caused by incorrect installation methods. Living materials still depend on watering, mowing and seasonal conditions, so turf health isn’t guaranteed against drought, pests or neglect. That said, we give clear aftercare instructions and can recommend maintenance schedules to help your lawn establish strongly.
We supply premium turf options including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for a smarter finish, and shade-tolerant choices for gardens with limited sun. If you prefer, we can also seed areas where access is tight or budgets need flexibility. Finish options include crisp edging, lawn levelling for a flatter look, and topsoil improvements for better rooting. We’ll help you choose based on usage, light levels and soil condition.
