If your lawn has become patchy, bumpy or muddy, fresh turf can transform the space in days. We carry out turfing across CR8, including homes near Purley Cross and along routes towards Purley Way. From careful ground preparation to tidy edging, we aim for a lawn that looks crisp from day one. Every job includes practical aftercare advice so your new grass beds in well.
Purley’s leafy streets feature large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes, often with generous rear gardens. We’re used to working around established borders, mature trees and family play areas in Purley Oaks and nearby Kenley. Whether you’re upgrading a front lawn for kerb appeal or creating a hard-wearing back garden, we tailor the build-up to suit how you use the space. Our approach keeps levels neat against patios, paths and steps.
Our process starts with lawn preparation: removing old turf, improving the soil structure and setting correct falls. We then complete lawn levelling, install drainage where needed, and lay premium turf with tight joints and firm consolidation. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, so we’re typically only 15 minutes from Purley for quick site visits and responsive aftercare. We work cleanly, protect access routes, and back workmanship with a 10-year warranty.
Across the London Borough of Croydon, gardens can vary from free-draining slopes near Riddlesdown to heavier, compacted ground where lawns have been worn down. We adjust the sub-base, topsoil depth and falls to suit each plot, especially on sloping sites near Rotary Field. Access and parking can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is turfing in the Purley area that beds in evenly and stays level.

Most turfing jobs are completed in 1–2 days, including ground preparation, levelling and laying. Smaller, straightforward lawns can often be finished in a day, while larger gardens or those needing drainage, extra topsoil, or extensive regrading may take longer. Weather can also affect timing, particularly if the ground is saturated. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site visit.
Turfing is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Croydon. However, restrictions can apply if you’re altering levels significantly, changing drainage routes, or working within a conservation area or around protected trees. If drainage connects to existing systems, we’ll also consider any relevant rules. We’ll flag potential issues during the survey and advise on the safest compliant approach.
Yes. Our workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you confidence in the preparation, levelling and installation standards. Turf is a living product, so establishment depends on correct watering, mowing and general care, plus weather conditions. We provide clear aftercare guidance to maximise success and will advise quickly if you spot early issues. The warranty covers installation-related defects, not neglect or extreme conditions.
We can supply and lay several turf types depending on how you use the garden. Popular choices include hard-wearing family turf for play, finer ornamental turf for a smarter look, and shade-tolerant options for areas under trees. We’ll also help you choose edging details, levels against patios, and whether drainage or soil improvement is worthwhile. The aim is a lawn that suits your property and maintenance preferences.
