If your lawn in SE18 is patchy, uneven or struggling to drain, new turf can make a dramatic difference in days. We provide complete turfing in Woolwich, from soil preparation through to laying and first watering. Homeowners around Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Town Centre often need lawns that look sharp but also cope with heavy foot traffic. We tailor the build-up so the turf establishes quickly and stays level.
Woolwich gardens vary widely, from Victorian terraces with long, narrow plots to converted arsenal buildings with courtyards, plus modern apartments with shared green spaces. In nearby Plumstead and Charlton, we regularly see compact rear gardens where access is tight and levels are tricky. Our team plans deliveries, barrowing routes and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is a lawn that suits the property style and how you use the space.
Our process starts with a site check, then careful stripping, levelling and topsoil improvement before turf goes down. Where needed, we install drainage to prevent soggy areas and reduce winter damage. We use premium turf and lay it tightly with staggered joints for a seamless finish, then provide clear aftercare for watering and first cuts. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, neat edges, and a finish that lasts.
As turfing contractors in Royal Borough of Greenwich, we’re used to mixed ground conditions and made-up soils from older plots and regeneration sites. Around Woolwich Ferry routes and busy streets, we plan parking, loading and waste collection to keep the job moving. Many gardens have limited side access, so we organise materials in manageable loads and protect paths. We also factor in shade from extensions and surrounding buildings when recommending turf or seeding.

Costs in Woolwich depend on access, ground condition and whether you need topsoil or drainage. As a guide, supply-and-lay turfing commonly ranges from about £20–£40 per m². If significant excavation, levelling, or topsoil import is required, budgets often rise to £45–£70 per m². Small gardens can cost more per m² due to set-up and disposal. We provide a clear, itemised quote after a site visit.
Most domestic lawns can be turfed in 1 day once the ground is prepared. If your garden needs stripping, substantial levelling, topsoil supply, or drainage installation, allow 2–4 days depending on size and access. Weather can affect scheduling, as we avoid working saturated ground to prevent compaction. Establishment takes longer: expect 2–3 weeks of careful watering and no heavy use before the turf fully knits in.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted development and don’t require planning permission. However, rules can change if you’re altering ground levels significantly, affecting drainage run-off, working near a boundary wall, or dealing with listed buildings (some converted arsenal properties may have restrictions). If your project includes new drainage connections or changes that could impact public land, we’ll advise on checks and help you stay compliant.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installed groundworks elements we carry out (such as preparation layers, levelling and installed drainage components), provided the area isn’t altered by others afterwards. Turf is a living product, so its success also depends on watering, mowing and seasonal conditions. We supply clear aftercare guidance and can return for a check-up if you’d like ongoing support.
We can supply premium turf suited to family lawns, ornamental front gardens, or harder-wearing areas for pets and play. If you prefer a slower, budget-friendly approach, we also offer seeding with soil preparation and protection while it establishes. Finishes include crisp edging, lawn levelling, topsoil improvement and optional drainage for persistently wet spots. We’ll recommend the best option based on sun/shade, usage, and how quickly you want results.
