A great lawn starts underneath

Built properly from the ground up

A long-lasting, natural-looking lawn starts with the right preparation. A lawn laid on an inadequate base will sink and ripple within two or three winters, whatever grass is on top.

  • Ground prepared properlyWe remove the old lawn and dig to the right depth. A 30 m² lawn produces about three tonnes of spoil, and we take it away.
  • A stable sub-baseCompacted Type 1 aggregate gives a firm, free-draining foundation.
  • Professional fittingThe grass is cut, joined and secured for a seamless, natural finish.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Answers to the most common questions about home installations. If yours is not here, just ask.

How long does artificial grass last?

Ten to twenty years on a properly built base. The base is what decides it: a lawn on an inadequate sub-base will sink and ripple within two or three winters, whatever grass is on top.

Will it drain properly?

Yes. The backing is perforated and the Type 1 sub-base underneath is free-draining, so rain passes straight through.

How long does installation take?

Most gardens under 50 m² are done in one to two days. The lawn is usable the moment we finish.

Can you install over paving or concrete?

Yes, and it is one of the quicker jobs we do: no excavation and no waste to remove. The surface needs to be sound and the water needs somewhere to go.

Do you remove the old lawn and waste?

Yes. Excavation, waste removal, sub-base, membrane, grass, edging, joints and labour are all in the quoted price. There is no separate skip cost to find later.

Is it safe for children and pets?

The grass we install is made under rules that prohibit lead and other heavy metals. For dogs we change the build: a free-draining base, no membrane and zeolite infill.

How much maintenance does it need?

Brushing the pile now and then and clearing leaves. A rinse with the hose every few weeks if you have a dog. No mowing, watering or feeding.

Can I have furniture or a barbecue on it?

Garden furniture is fine. Keep barbecues, fire pits and hot ashes off the grass, as the fibres can melt. A hot tub needs its own solid base, so we plan the lawn around it.

Can you install around trees and planting?

Yes. We cut the grass neatly around beds, trees and features and fix the edges so they stay crisp.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes. Qualifying artificial grass products carry a manufacturer-backed warranty of up to 10 years.
