Our story
It started with one frustrating lawn.
Mr Lawn began with Denton's own lawn. After moving to the Fetcham and Leatherhead area and leaving corporate life behind, he found himself increasingly frustrated by his patchy, moss-ridden grass — and by the off-the-shelf products that promised the world and never actually fixed it.
Rather than live with it, Denton went and got properly trained. He qualified in lawn care and in the safe use of pesticides and spraying equipment — the professional grounding that lets us use the right products, at the right rate, safely and legally. What started as one man sorting out his own lawn turned into a business built on doing the job properly.
Today Mr Lawn is Denton — owner-operated, with more than twenty years of lawn care experience behind him. It's deliberately small and deliberately independent: no franchise, no head-office product mandates, and the same person turning up at your lawn every visit. Customers stay for years — and 49 of them have left a five-star review, several mentioning Denton by name.

Restored, revitalised, and looking after year on year.
“This small local lawn care company has managed to restore our lawn to its former beauty after a very dry summer and previous aggressive treatment which left numerous brown and dead areas. We have full confidence in Lewis and Denton's approach to restoring and maintaining our lawn.”
“We've been using these guys for over 18mths now and they've transformed our lawn. Denton & Lewis super helpful and would definitely recommend them if you're looking to revitalise your garden. Still looking good even after such a wet January.”
“Excellent service. Lawn that was ruined by house renovations is now lush and green. I get reminders when treatment is due. Lew is helpful and very knowledgeable. Lawn has survived last summer's drought and this winters constant rain and still looks good.”
“Mr Lawn visited in April — the before and after photos tell it all. I'm delighted with the result.”
