Sevenoaks is known for generous plots, executive homes and period properties where outdoor space matters. Many gardens include slopes, shaded edges and well-used family areas that need robust turf and careful levelling. We regularly support homeowners in Dunton Green, Otford and Kemsing, designing lawns that match the style of the property and the way you use the garden. For clients who entertain or have children and pets, we recommend turf types that cope with wear.
Our turfing sevenoaks area process starts with proper lawn preparation: removing old grass, improving the soil profile and setting accurate levels. Where needed, we add drainage installation to reduce winter waterlogging and protect the root zone. We supply and lay premium turf with tight joints, then roll and water-in for strong contact with the soil. You’ll also receive straightforward aftercare advice, and our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty for peace of mind.
Gardens in the Sevenoaks District often sit on clay-heavy ground that can compact and hold water, especially after wet spells. We improve structure with the right topsoil blend and, where required, install drainage to keep lawns breathable. Access and parking can be tighter around Sevenoaks High Street, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. For larger detached plots, we also set levels to work with existing patios, paths and borders.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Turfing typically ranges from £15–£25 per square metre in Sevenoaks, depending on access, the amount of groundwork, and whether levelling or drainage is needed. For many gardens, total project costs commonly fall between £800 and £2,500. Smaller, straightforward lawns sit at the lower end, while larger areas or poor ground conditions (old turf removal, extra topsoil, drainage) increase the budget.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days, including removing the old lawn, preparing the base, levelling and laying the turf. Larger gardens, significant regrading, or adding drainage can extend the schedule. Weather also plays a part: heavy rain can slow soil preparation and finishing. We’ll confirm a realistic timeframe after a site visit and plan deliveries so the turf is laid fresh on the day.
In most cases, turfing is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission because it’s considered standard garden maintenance. However, restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if works alter drainage routes significantly. If you’re near sensitive boundaries or changing levels materially, it’s sensible to check. We’ll flag any likely issues during the survey and advise if Sevenoaks District Council guidance should be consulted.
Yes. Our turfing workmanship is covered by a 10-year warranty, giving you long-term confidence in the installation quality. It covers issues linked to our preparation and laying standards, such as avoidable settlement from poor compaction or incorrect levelling. Turf is a living product, so ongoing health also depends on watering, mowing and seasonal care. We provide clear aftercare instructions to support strong rooting and lasting results.
We can supply several turf options depending on how you use the garden. Popular choices include hard-wearing family turf for play, finer ornamental turf for a neat finish, and shade-tolerant turf for areas affected by trees or buildings. We’ll look at sunlight, drainage, soil condition and foot traffic, then recommend the best match. If you want a lower-maintenance lawn, we’ll also advise on edging and aftercare routines.
