A new lawn should feel level underfoot, drain well, and look sharp from day one. Our turfing service is popular across CR4, from gardens near Mitcham Common to family plots around Figges Marsh. We supply premium turf and install it properly, so it roots quickly and stays even. Expect a tidy site, clear communication, and practical aftercare.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates means gardens vary widely in size and access. Narrow side passages, shared drives and long rear gardens are common, especially around Pollards Hill and Eastfields. We plan deliveries and barrow routes to protect paths and borders. If your lawn has dips, bumps or persistent wet patches, we’ll address the cause before laying turf.
Our process starts with lawn preparation: removing old turf, improving the soil profile, and setting accurate levels. Where needed, we install drainage to prevent waterlogging and keep the surface firm. Turf is laid tightly, rolled, and finished with clean edges for a professional look. Homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, straightforward advice, and a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens across the London Borough of Merton often have compacted ground from years of use, plus shaded areas near fences and extensions. We adjust topsoil depth, grading and drainage to suit each plot, especially where water sits after heavy rain. Access and parking can be tight near Mitcham Junction station, so we schedule deliveries and loading to minimise disruption. The result is turf that beds in evenly and stays level.

Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days, including ground preparation, levelling and laying. Smaller lawns can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens or those needing drainage, extra topsoil or extensive regrading may take longer. Weather and site access also affect timing, as does whether we’re removing an existing lawn first. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Turfing is usually classed as general garden improvement and typically doesn’t need planning permission. However, restrictions can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage routes, or working in a protected setting. If your property is near sensitive areas or you’re combining turfing with wider landscaping, we’ll flag anything that may need checking. We can also advise on practical considerations like runoff and neighbouring boundaries.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues caused by installation such as poor levelling, inadequate base preparation, or drainage work we’ve fitted. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on correct watering, mowing and seasonal conditions; we’ll give clear aftercare instructions to support healthy rooting. If anything doesn’t look right early on, we’ll inspect and advise promptly.
We can supply premium turf suited to how you use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and shade-tolerant options where light is limited. We’ll also advise on soil improvement, edging details, and whether drainage installation is worthwhile for persistently wet areas. If you want a crisp, level look, we can incorporate extra levelling and topsoil to achieve a smoother final grade.
