If your garden has worn patches, compacted soil or a bumpy surface, fresh turf can transform it quickly. We install new lawns across SW19, including homes near Wandle Park and the River Wandle. Our team focuses on the groundwork first, so your turf roots properly and stays level. The result is a clean, green lawn that suits Colliers Wood’s mix of family gardens and smaller outdoor spaces.
Colliers Wood has everything from Victorian terraces with narrow side access to 1930s semis with larger rear lawns, plus modern apartments with shared or courtyard gardens. We plan deliveries and access around tight gateways, steps and bin-store routes, keeping disruption low. Whether you’re in South Wimbledon or close to the Tandem Centre, we tailor the build-up and edging details to the space you have. That local experience helps us achieve crisp lines and a lawn that drains well.
Our turfing process starts with lawn preparation: removing old turf, improving the soil profile and setting accurate levels. We can install drainage where needed, then lay premium turf and roll it for firm contact. You’ll get clear aftercare advice on watering, first cuts and foot traffic, plus workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy sites and a finish that holds up through the seasons.
Gardens around Colliers Wood often sit on compacted ground and can hold water after heavy rain, especially near the River Wandle. We adjust the soil blend, levels and falls to encourage better drainage, and we can add land drains where required. Access and parking can be tight on residential streets, so we schedule deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. This is turfing in London Borough of Merton carried out with practical, street-by-street experience.

For turfing in Colliers Wood, typical pricing is £15–£25 per square metre depending on preparation and access. Most projects fall around £800–£2,500, influenced by garden size, removal of old lawn, soil improvement, levelling, and whether drainage is needed. We’ll assess the site and recommend the right build-up so you’re not paying for shortcuts that fail later.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days. Day one is usually excavation, waste removal, soil improvement and levelling; turf laying often follows the same day or the next. Timescales can extend if access is restricted (common with Victorian terraces), if the ground is very uneven, or if drainage installation is required. Weather also matters, as very wet conditions can slow preparation and finishing.
Turfing is usually permitted and doesn’t need planning permission, as it’s standard garden improvement work. However, rules can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage run-off, working on a listed property, or changing a front garden in a way that impacts highways or visibility. We’ll flag any potential issues and can advise on checks with the London Borough of Merton where appropriate before work starts.
Yes. Our installations come with a 10-year warranty on workmanship, covering issues caused by incorrect preparation, levelling or laying. Living materials still depend on aftercare, so we provide clear guidance on watering, mowing and avoiding heavy use while the turf establishes. If you follow the aftercare plan and something looks off, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right where the warranty applies.
We can supply premium turf suited to how you use the space, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf for a smarter finish, and shade-tolerant blends for gardens with limited sun. We’ll also advise on edging details, levels and drainage solutions to match your layout. If you have pets or want low-maintenance results, we’ll recommend the most practical turf type and aftercare routine.
