If your garden is patchy, compacted or muddy, new turf gives an instant upgrade with a natural look and feel. We install fresh lawns across SE13, including Ladywell and Hither Green, with careful preparation that helps turf root quickly. From small courtyard gardens to family lawns, we keep edges crisp and levels consistent. Expect a tidy site and clear instructions for watering and first cuts.
Lewisham’s mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and modern developments often comes with varied garden levels and worn paths from years of use. In streets near Lewisham station and around Mountsfield Park, access can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also account for shaded areas and heavy footfall where lawns struggle. Our recommendations are tailored to how you actually use the space.
Our process starts with lawn preparation: removing old turf, improving the soil profile and setting correct falls. We then carry out lawn levelling, install drainage where needed, and lay premium turf for a seamless finish. Every job includes aftercare advice so your new lawn establishes strongly. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a finish that stays level and healthy.
Gardens in the London Borough of Lewisham can vary from free-draining sandy pockets to heavier, compacted ground that holds water. We assess soil condition, shade and existing falls before we lay turf, and we’ll recommend drainage installation where puddling is likely. Access and parking can be restricted near busy routes and transport links, so we schedule deliveries and loading sensibly. For period homes, we also protect paving, steps and brick edging during the work.

Most turfing projects in Lewisham fall within £15–£25 per square metre, depending on preparation needs, access and turf grade. Typical total costs are often £800–£2,500 for an average garden, with larger lawns or drainage work increasing the budget. If the ground needs significant levelling, soil improvement or removal of old turf and rubble, that will also affect the final figure.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days from start to finish, including removal of the old lawn, ground preparation, levelling and laying. Smaller gardens can sometimes be completed in a day, while larger plots or those needing drainage can take longer. Weather, access for materials, and how much soil improvement is required are the main factors that influence the schedule.
Turfing is usually classed as permitted garden work, so planning permission is rarely needed in the London Borough of Lewisham. However, rules can differ for listed buildings, conservation areas, or if you’re altering levels significantly or changing drainage in a way that affects neighbouring properties. We’ll flag any potential issues early and can advise on sensible steps, including checking council guidance where appropriate.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the installation standard, covering issues such as poor levelling, edge movement or problems caused by incorrect laying methods. Living turf is affected by watering, weather, shade and use, so ongoing health depends on proper aftercare. We provide clear guidance and will advise on maintenance to help your lawn establish and stay resilient.
We can supply premium turf suited to how you use your garden, such as hard-wearing family lawns, fine ornamental turf for a smarter finish, or shade-tolerant options for darker areas. We’ll look at sunlight, drainage, pets, and foot traffic before recommending the best match. If you want a crisp edge against paving or borders, we’ll also advise on edging and levels for a clean, durable finish.
