Preparation makes the lawn
New turf only thrives on good ground. We remove the old lawn and weeds, cultivate and improve the soil, then level and firm it before laying.
We lay quality turf with tight joints, roll it and explain watering so it roots quickly.
In Sydenham's narrow gardens, turf often has to come through the house; we plan delivery and protection.

Turfing planned around your Sydenham property
We take turfing enquiries across Sydenham, including Sydenham Hill, Forest Hill and Bell Green. Sydenham's Victorian houses sit on the slopes below Sydenham Hill, so many rear gardens fall away and need levelling. Our base is in Norbury, SW16, about 3 miles from Sydenham.
