If your garden has turned patchy, muddy or uneven, new turf is the quickest way to reset it. We install fresh lawns across SW4 and SW11, including homes near Clapham Common and Clapham Old Town. Our team handles everything from preparation and levelling to tidy edging and first watering. You get a lawn that’s ready to enjoy, not a long DIY project.
Clapham’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments often comes with compact gardens and side-return access. In Clapham North and Clapham South, we regularly work around narrow pathways, basement lightwells and shared boundaries. We plan deliveries and waste removal to keep disruption low for neighbours. The result is a smart finish that suits period paving, brickwork and contemporary patios alike.
Our turfing process starts with removing old grass and weeds, improving the soil profile, and setting accurate levels for a smooth surface. Where needed, we install drainage to prevent waterlogging and keep lawns usable after heavy rain. We supply premium turf and lay it tightly for strong knit and clean stripes. Homeowners choose Fine Landscaping for reliable scheduling, neat workmanship and straightforward aftercare guidance.
Gardens around Clapham Park and near Clapham Junction station often have compact access and limited parking, so we plan loading and waste collection carefully. Soil can vary from compacted ground in high-traffic gardens to heavier, moisture-holding patches, so we adjust preparation depth and add conditioners where needed. We also work with the practicalities of the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, including considerate working hours and keeping pavements clear. That local experience helps your new lawn establish evenly.

Most turfing projects in Clapham fall within £15–£25 per square metre, depending on access, ground condition and the level of preparation required. Typical total costs are around £800–£2,500 for an average garden, including removal of old turf, levelling and laying. Extras such as drainage installation, significant soil improvement, or difficult carry-through access can increase the overall price.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days, covering lawn preparation, levelling and turf laying. Smaller, straightforward gardens can often be completed in a day, while larger lawns or those needing drainage, extensive weed removal, or significant regrading may take longer. Weather can also affect timing, as very wet ground may need a short delay to avoid compaction and ensure a better finish.
Turfing is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, as it’s considered routine garden landscaping. However, restrictions can apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering levels significantly or changing drainage that affects neighbouring properties. We’ll flag any potential issues, advise on best practice, and help you check any relevant council guidance before work begins.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues linked to installation such as poor levelling, inadequate preparation, or turf laying faults. Turf is a living product, so successful establishment also depends on watering, first cuts and seasonal conditions. We give clear aftercare advice and can recommend maintenance visits if needed, helping your lawn root strongly and stay healthy.
We can supply premium turf suited to how you use the garden, such as hard-wearing family lawns, ornamental fine-blade turf for a smarter look, or shade-tolerant options for gardens with limited sun. We’ll assess light levels, drainage and foot traffic, then recommend the best match. If you’re also updating borders or patios, we’ll align lawn levels and edges for a clean, cohesive finish.
