Turf Laying in Sutton
Natural turf laying is the supply and installation of pre-grown grass turf onto prepared, cultivated soil to create a new lawn, distinct from the ongoing mowing and feeding that established lawns need afterwards.
In Sutton, that covers Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington, Belmont, North Cheam. Sutton is a residential outer-London borough with a traditional High Street and well-established suburbs across Cheam, Carshalton and Wallington, offering a mix of interwar family housing and period properties close to Carshalton's historic ponds and village core, within reach of our Croydon and Surrey teams.

Property styles in Sutton
The borough has a strong stock of 1920s and 1930s semis and detached houses across Cheam, North Cheam and Belmont, alongside Victorian and Edwardian houses in the older parts of Carshalton and Wallington. Rear and side-return extensions and loft conversions are common on the semi-detached stock typical of the area.
Planning considerations
Sutton Council (London Borough of Sutton) is the local planning authority. Carshalton village and parts of Cheam and Wallington are conservation areas with a number of listed buildings around the historic ponds, which affects alterations to visible elevations and materials. We confirm the position for individual properties at feasibility stage.

FAQs
Turf Laying in Sutton: FAQs
Do you provide turf laying across all of Sutton?
Yes, we cover the SM1, SM2, SM3, SM5 and SM6 postcode areas in full, including Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington, Belmont, North Cheam.
What's the difference between this and your gardening service?
This service is the one-off installation of a brand-new lawn — preparing the ground and laying turf. Our gardening service covers the ongoing mowing, feeding and seasonal maintenance an established lawn needs afterwards; most customers move on to that once the new turf has rooted in.
How soon can I walk on new turf?
Light use is usually possible after two to three weeks, once the roots have knitted into the soil beneath, but it's best to keep heavy footfall off the area until it feels firm underfoot rather than to a fixed date.
Do you cover Carshalton and Wallington as well as Sutton town centre?
Yes, we work across the SM1, SM2, SM3, SM5 and SM6 postcode areas, including Sutton town centre, Cheam, Carshalton, Wallington and Belmont.
