The Work
Turfing You Can Trust in Nunhead
Turfing across Nunhead and the streets around it. What follows is how the job runs wherever we are; what changes from one Nunhead address to the next is access, and that is what we come and look at before quoting.
A worn, patchy lawn or a bare strip of soil in Nunhead can become a proper lawn in a single visit with turf, rather than the months it takes to grow one from seed. Done properly, with the ground levelled and prepared first, it roots quickly and looks established within weeks.
Whatever the state of the ground, the first step is the same: someone comes and looks at it properly, tells you what it needs, and gives you a price in writing before any work starts. As turf installers and turf contractors working right across London, we bring the same process to every job, whether it's a small lawn or a full garden re-turf.
We cover Nunhead (SE15) and the surrounding streets.
- A look at the area on site before any price is given
- Clearing and levelling the ground
- Soil prepared to a fine, even finish
- Turf laid in staggered rows, firmed in and watered
- Advice on watering and first mowing before we leave
What We Do
How Turfing Works in Nunhead, Step by Step
You call or send the form
Tell us the address and roughly what the ground looks like. A photo from your phone saves a lot of guessing.
We come and look
Size and ground condition decide the price, so it gets seen rather than described. You get the price in writing.
We clear and level
The area is cleared, the soil levelled and firmed to a fine finish.
The turf is laid
In staggered rows, firmed in and watered well.
We talk you through aftercare
How and when to water, and when it's safe to walk and mow.
Turf Laying
Turf Laying in Nunhead
Turf laying in Nunhead starts with the ground, not the grass. The soil is levelled, firmed and raked to a fine tilth before the turf goes down in staggered rows, firmed in and watered well to help it root.
Lawn Laying
Lawn Laying in Nunhead
Lawn laying in Nunhead covers the whole job, not just rolling out turf, clearing what's there now, preparing the soil properly, and finishing with a lawn that's ready to use within a few weeks rather than one that looks patchy from day one.
How To
How to Lay Turf
Laying turf yourself is straightforward to describe: level the ground, lay the rolls in staggered joints like brickwork, firm them down and water well. What trips most DIY jobs up is the groundwork before any turf arrives, soil that isn't properly levelled or firmed leaves a lawn with dips, bumps and gaps that open up as the turf settles. If you'd rather skip the trial and error, we do the whole thing properly in a single visit.

The Price
How Much Does Turfing Cost in Nunhead?
The size of the area and the condition of the ground underneath decide most of what turfing costs, and neither can be judged from a description. So every job is quoted on site, free and with no obligation.
- Nunhead's terraced gardens are usually a manageable size for turfing, though the condition of the existing ground, compacted soil, old roots, uneven levels, affects the price more than the area alone.
- The size of the lawn area.
- The condition of the existing ground, whether it needs stripping back first.
- How much levelling the soil needs.
- Access for materials and equipment.
Why Choose Us
Why Nunhead calls us back
The price comes after we have seen it
The size of the area and the state of the ground underneath decide the price, and neither can be judged from a description. Someone comes and looks, then you get a figure in writing.
We finish the job the same day we start it
Ground prep, levelling and laying the turf are all done in one visit, not spread across a second trip.
Trees and grounds from one team
The same crew that clears an overgrown corner can lay the new lawn on it, or gravel the path alongside it. You are not chasing three different trades to finish one garden.
You are told when something is a bad idea
Turf laid on poorly prepared ground looks patchy and struggles to root properly. Where a shortcut will not last, we say so before quoting, not after.
You do not pay until you are happy with it
No deposit up front, and nothing asked for until the work is finished and you have checked it over. There is a fourteen day cooling off period on top of that.
