Supplied and installed on a base built to last. We will also tell you plainly when a real lawn is the better answer for your garden.
Samples brought to you so you can judge pile height and colour in your own light before committing.
Excavation, a compacted aggregate sub-base and a levelling layer. Skimp here and the surface ripples within a year.
A permeable build-up with falls set correctly, so rainfall passes straight through instead of sitting on the surface.
Secure timber or composite edging, joints glued and pile direction matched so the seams do not show.
Free-draining specifications for gardens with dogs, which rinse down easily and dry quickly.
Artificial grass is low maintenance, not no maintenance. We show you the brushing and rinsing routine that keeps it upright.
Artificial grass is not right for every garden, and we would rather say so at the quote than after the work. Here is how the two compare.
| Factor | Real Lawn | Artificial Grass |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower to lay | Higher — the base is most of the work |
| Ongoing work | Mowing, feeding and treatment through the season | Brushing, rinsing and the occasional weed at the edges |
| Summer heat | Stays cool underfoot | Gets noticeably hot in direct sun |
| Heavy shade | Struggles and thins | Unaffected — a common reason to switch |
| Wildlife and drainage | Feeds soil life and absorbs rainfall | Drains through the base, but supports nothing |
| Lifespan | Indefinite with care | Long, then a full replacement |
