Brixton gardens come in all shapes and sizes, from compact courtyards to longer family plots. Whether you’re near Windrush Square or a short walk from Brixton Market, we can replace patchy grass with fresh, premium turf. Our team focuses on solid groundwork so the lawn establishes quickly. The result is a greener, cleaner space that’s ready to use sooner.
We regularly work across SW2 and SW9, including Brixton Hill, Stockwell and Herne Hill. Many homes here are Victorian terraces and Georgian houses with narrow side access, plus newer developments with shared gardens. That mix affects how we bring materials in, manage spoil, and protect paving and steps. Our approach is tailored to the property, not a one-size-fits-all method.
Every job starts with proper lawn preparation: clearing, grading, soil improvement and careful lawn levelling. Where needed, we add drainage installation to prevent waterlogging and future sinkage. We supply and lay premium turf with tight joints and clean edges, then provide practical aftercare advice for watering and mowing. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, reliable scheduling and a finish that lasts.
Turfing in London Borough of Lambeth often means dealing with compacted ground, old rubble in borders, and heavy foot traffic in family gardens. Access can be tight around Victorian terraces, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. Parking and loading near busy routes by Electric Avenue can be tricky, so we schedule efficiently and keep materials organised. We adapt soil prep and drainage to suit each plot’s conditions.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For Brixton projects, turfing typically ranges from £15–£25 per square metre, depending on turf grade, access and how much preparation is required. Most homeowners spend around £800–£2,500 for a complete job including removal of old lawn, levelling and fresh turf installation. If drainage or significant soil improvement is needed, costs can sit towards the upper end of that range.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days, with the first day focused on preparation and levelling, and the second on laying and finishing details. Smaller gardens can often be completed in a day if the ground is in reasonable condition. Timescales can extend if we need to install drainage, remove lots of debris, or if access is restricted for moving materials through the property.
Turfing is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Lambeth, as it’s considered standard garden improvement. However, rules can change if you’re in a conservation area, working on a listed property, or altering levels significantly near boundaries. If drainage connects to existing systems, we’ll also consider any relevant requirements. We’ll flag potential issues and advise before work begins.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering issues related to installation such as poor levelling, inadequate preparation or failures caused by incorrect laying methods. Turf is a living product, so long-term success also depends on watering, mowing and avoiding heavy use during establishment. We provide clear aftercare instructions and can advise on seasonal maintenance to help your new lawn thrive.
We can supply premium turf options suited to how you use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for a crisp finish, and shade-tolerant choices for gardens with limited sun. We’ll assess light levels, drainage and foot traffic, then recommend the best match. If you want cleaner borders, we can also shape edges and advise on bed lines to complement the lawn.
