Thornton Heath’s gardens often sit behind Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses, where space can be tight and access matters. We’re used to side returns, narrow paths and shared boundaries in Broad Green, Selhurst and South Norwood. Because we’re only 5 minutes away, we can plan deliveries and timings to minimise disruption. The result is a lawn that suits the property and the way you use the garden.
Our turfing thornton heath area service follows a proven method: remove debris, improve the soil profile, level accurately and lay turf in a tight bond. Where needed, we add drainage installation to reduce pooling and winter sogginess. You’ll receive practical aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding to help the turf root fast. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and a finish that lasts.
Gardens in the London Borough of Croydon can vary from compacted clay to lighter, free-draining soils, even street to street. Around Thornton Heath Pond and nearby residential roads, we often see uneven ground and tired topsoil from years of use. We adjust the base preparation, add soil improvers where required, and plan around parking and access for turf delivery. That means fewer delays and a lawn that beds in evenly.

For turfing in Thornton Heath, most homeowners budget £15–£25 per square metre, depending on turf grade, access, and how much preparation is needed. Typical total project costs often fall between £800 and £2,500 for an average front or back garden lawn. Extra groundwork, waste removal, significant levelling, or adding drainage can increase the overall spend. We’ll confirm a clear range after a site visit.
Most turf installations take 1–2 days, with day one focused on preparation and levelling and day two used for laying and finishing (or completion the same day for smaller areas). Timescales depend on garden size, access for removing spoil, and whether drainage installation is required. Weather also matters, as heavy rain can slow groundworks. We’ll give you a realistic schedule before we start.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Croydon. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage routes, or working in a listed property or conservation area. If you’re unsure, we’ll advise on what’s likely to apply and can help you check the relevant guidance. We also aim to keep runoff controlled within your garden.

Living materials can be affected by watering, mowing, pets, shade and extreme weather, so ongoing care is important. We provide aftercare advice to help the lawn establish properly and will explain what’s covered and how to protect your new turf during the first few weeks.
We can supply and lay several turf types to match how you use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, ornamental finer-blade turf, and more shade-tolerant mixes for gardens with limited sun. We’ll also advise on edging details, levels, and whether drainage or soil improvement will help long-term performance. After a quick assessment of light, soil and foot traffic, we’ll recommend the most suitable option for your budget.
