If your grass is patchy, muddy or worn, new turf gives you an instant, usable lawn. We carry out turfing across SE6, including near Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park, with a focus on neat edges and reliable drainage. Our team handles everything from removing old turf to final levelling. You get a lawn that’s ready to enjoy, not a project that drags on for weeks.
Catford gardens vary widely, from compact Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and ex-council properties with larger rear plots. That mix often means different access challenges, uneven ground, and lawns that have been reworked over the years. We’re used to navigating side returns, shared alleyways and tight gates, and we plan deliveries accordingly. Whether you’re in Hither Green or Grove Park, we tailor the build-up to suit your soil and usage.
Our process starts with proper lawn preparation: clearing, grading, improving the topsoil and setting levels before any turf is laid. We supply premium turf, install it with tight joints, and roll it for strong contact and quick rooting; drainage installation is available where water sits. Work is completed cleanly, with clear aftercare advice on watering and mowing. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, tidy workmanship and results that last.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, gardens can suffer from compacted ground and poor falls, especially after building works or heavy foot traffic. We check levels, improve soil structure, and recommend drainage where runoff collects. Access and parking can be tight around busier roads near Lewisham Theatre and Catford Broadway, so we plan drops and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is turf that beds in properly and performs through the seasons.
