If your lawn is patchy, muddy or full of weeds, new turf gives an instant upgrade. We install fresh lawns across Sutton, including SM1–SM3, with careful ground preparation and neat finishing. From gardens near Sutton High Street to family plots by Manor Park, we tailor the build-up to suit how you use the space. Expect a clean job, crisp edges and a lawn that’s ready to enjoy.
Homes in the Sutton area range from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and newer developments, each with different garden layouts and access. We’re used to narrow side passages, shared drives and rear gardens that need materials carried through. In Cheam and Carshalton, we often see older lawns compacted over time, while modern builds can have thin topsoil over clay. Our approach adapts to the property, not the other way round.
Our turfing service covers lawn preparation, levelling, premium turf supply and professional laying, with drainage installation where needed. We set correct falls, firm the base properly and ensure good soil-to-turf contact to reduce shrinkage and uneven settling. You’ll get clear aftercare advice on watering, first mowing and when to start using the lawn. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Soils in the London Borough of Sutton often vary from clay-heavy ground to made-up subsoil on newer sites, which affects drainage and levelling. We assess compaction, thatch and existing falls before we start, then build the base to suit. Parking and access can be tight around SM2 streets and busier routes near St Nicholas Centre, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. The result is turf that beds in evenly and performs well year-round.

For turfing in Sutton, most homeowners budget £15–£25 per square metre depending on preparation needs, access and turf grade. Typical total project costs are around £800–£2,500 for an average rear garden. Prices can rise if you need extensive excavation, soil improvement, drainage installation or complex shaping. We’ll measure up, discuss how you use the lawn, then provide a clear written quote.
Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days, including removing the old lawn, preparing the base, levelling and laying the turf. Larger gardens, poor ground conditions or added drainage can extend the schedule. Weather also plays a part: heavy rain can slow preparation and rolling, while hot spells may require careful timing and immediate watering. We’ll confirm the programme in advance and keep the site tidy throughout.
Turfing is usually permitted development and doesn’t need planning permission in the London Borough of Sutton. However, restrictions can apply if you’re in a conservation area, altering ground levels significantly, or affecting protected trees and their root zones. If drainage connects to existing systems, we’ll also consider any relevant rules. We’ll flag any potential issues during the survey and advise on the safest, compliant approach.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues caused by installation such as poor levelling, inadequate base preparation or incorrect laying. Turf is a living product, so its success also depends on watering, mowing and general aftercare, plus extreme weather. We’ll give clear guidance and are happy to answer questions during the establishment period to help your lawn bed in properly.
We can supply and lay several turf types, including hard-wearing family/utility turf, ornamental fine-blade turf for a smarter finish, and shade-tolerant options for gardens with trees or tall fencing. If you have pets or children, we’ll recommend a durable mix and advise on recovery. We’ll assess sunlight, drainage and how you use the garden, then help you select the best turf for long-term results.
