Tooting’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have long, narrow rear gardens where levels and drainage make all the difference. Mansion conversions can bring shared access routes and tighter working areas, so we plan deliveries and barrow runs carefully. In Tooting Bec, Furzedown and Tooting Graveney, we regularly see shaded sections from extensions and mature boundaries. We’ll recommend the right turf and preparation depth to suit how your garden is used.
Our process starts with lawn preparation: removing tired grass, improving the soil profile and setting accurate falls. We then carry out lawn levelling, install drainage where needed, and lay premium turf with tight joints for an even knit. You’ll get straightforward aftercare advice on watering, mowing and feeding, plus clear expectations on settling. Fine Landscaping is based just 15 minutes away, so support is close by if you have questions after installation.
Working across SW17, we’re used to access constraints behind Victorian terraces and the need to keep paths and shared alleys clean.

We also plan around parking and delivery timing, especially near Tooting Market and busier streets. For turfing in London Borough of Wandsworth, we keep waste removal and site conduct compliant and neighbour-friendly.

For most gardens in Tooting, turfing typically costs £15–£25 per square metre, depending on preparation requirements and turf grade. As a guide, many projects fall between £800–£2,500 overall.

Most turfing jobs in SW17 take 1–2 days from preparation through to laying, depending on lawn size and the condition of the existing ground. A straightforward replacement lawn can often be completed in a day. Extra time may be needed for significant levelling, importing topsoil, installing drainage, or working around limited access typical of Victorian terraces. Weather can also affect scheduling and groundworks.
Turfing and general garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Wandsworth. However, rules can change if you’re altering levels significantly, affecting drainage to neighbouring land, working on a listed building, or within special designations. If drainage connects to existing systems, there may be additional considerations. We’ll flag any likely constraints and advise what to check before work starts.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship, covering issues linked to installation such as poor levelling, inadequate base preparation, or turf laying faults. Living materials still depend on correct aftercare, so the turf itself can’t be guaranteed against drought, pet damage or neglect. We give clear watering and mowing guidance and can recommend a feeding plan to help your new lawn establish strongly.
We supply premium turf options suited to how you’ll use the garden, including hard-wearing family lawns, finer ornamental turf, and more shade-tolerant choices for areas affected by extensions or trees. We can also add topsoil improvement, lawn edging details, and drainage solutions where water sits after rain. During the visit, we’ll discuss foot traffic, sunlight, pets and maintenance preferences, then recommend the best combination for your space.
