A fresh lawn can transform a garden in Wimbledon Village or near Wimbledon Common, especially where tired grass has thinned or turned patchy. Fine Landscaping supplies premium turf and installs it with proper preparation, so it roots quickly and stays even. Whether you’re refreshing a family garden or finishing a full redesign, we focus on clean edges, consistent levels and reliable drainage. We work across SW19 and SW20 with minimal disruption and a tidy finish.
Wimbledon’s homes range from large Victorian houses and Edwardian villas to exclusive modern builds with landscaped rear gardens. These properties often have mature borders, shaded corners and tight side access, which can affect how a new lawn should be built up and levelled. Our team plans deliveries and access carefully, protecting paths, patios and planting. If you’re in Wimbledon Park, South Wimbledon or Wimbledon Chase, we’ll tailor the turfing approach to your garden’s layout and use.
Our turfing process starts with lawn preparation: removing old turf, improving the topsoil profile and setting accurate falls for surface water. We then lay premium turf in a tight bond, roll for contact, and finish with neat trimming and levelling. Where needed, we install drainage to prevent pooling and winter waterlogging. Homeowners choose us for straightforward pricing, dependable scheduling, and a 10-year warranty-backed standard of workmanship.
Gardens in the London Borough of Merton often sit on heavier soils, so drainage and correct falls matter as much as the turf itself. In the turfing Wimbledon area, access can be narrow and parking controlled, particularly around SW19, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also account for shade from mature trees near Wimbledon Common and established gardens. The result is a lawn build-up that suits local conditions and lasts.

Most turfing jobs take 1–2 days, including preparation and laying. A straightforward lawn replacement can often be completed in a day, while larger gardens or those needing levelling, topsoil improvement or drainage installation may take closer to two. Weather, site access, and how much excavation is required can affect timings. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before work starts.
Turfing and most garden improvements are usually permitted and don’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Merton.
