Turfing in Norbury
A proper lawn, laid from our own doorstep.
As local turfing contractors, we lay new lawns across Norbury SW16, where our own base is. In Norbury itself we laid new natural turf beside a Yellow Balau hardwood deck, and within a couple of miles we have re-turfed front and back gardens in Streatham and West Norwood, with the photos and prices below.

Your garden, considered
Getting the ground right before the turf
Most gardens around Norbury are on clay, which stays wet through the winter and bakes hard in a dry summer. Turf laid straight onto that ground struggles to root, so the work starts underneath: the old grass and weeds come out, the soil is dug and turned over, and fresh topsoil goes down and is raked level before a single roll is laid.
Norbury's Edwardian and interwar houses usually have a medium rear garden, and the front is often used for parking, so the lawn tends to be at the back, next to a patio or a deck. That was the case on our Norbury job, where the new turf went in alongside a Yellow Balau hardwood deck with a step between the levels.
Being based in Norbury means a free visit to look at your lawn is never far for us, and turfing can be done on its own or as part of other work such as a new patio, path or deck.

Materials & possibilities
Which lawn job do you need?
Most turfing jobs fall into one of three types. We will tell you which one your garden needs after a look at the ground.
Levels and watering in
A lawn should run smoothly into the paving or deck edge rather than dip or sit proud of it, so we level the topsoil to the finished height first. Once the rolls are down they need a thorough soaking and regular watering for the first few weeks while the roots take hold in the new soil.

Nearby, a front lawn in Streatham was re-turfed in a day for £900, a 30m² lawn in West Norwood was rebuilt from old concrete for £3,500, and a Yellow Balau deck with new turf in Norbury cost £7,820. You get a fixed written quote after a free visit.
Do you lay turf on clay soil in Norbury?
Yes. Most gardens here are on clay, so we dig the area over, take the old lawn and weeds away and spread fresh topsoil before the turf goes down, so the roots have good soil to grow into.
Can you lay a lawn next to a new deck?
Yes. In Norbury we built a Yellow Balau hardwood deck with one step and laid new natural turf in the same job, about a week in all.
How long does turfing take?
A front lawn in Streatham took one day. A full lawn rebuild in West Norwood, with concrete broken out and fresh topsoil, took two days.
When can I walk on the new turf?
Keep foot traffic light for the first two to three weeks while the roots knit into the soil, and water it well during that time.
Is removing the old grass included in the price?
Yes. Digging out the old grass, weeds or concrete and removing all the waste is included in every turfing price we give.
Which parts of Norbury do you cover for turfing?
All of Norbury, including Norbury Park, Pollards Hill and Norwood Grove, plus Thornton Heath, Streatham Common, Streatham Vale and Upper Norwood nearby.
