Artificial grass, with the ground underneath considered first
Artificial grass needs a clear brief about the finish, access and preparation. Show the current surface and how the garden is reached so the job can be assessed.

Compare the finish with the preparation it needs
A photograph of the lawn is a useful beginning, but it does not describe everything beneath the surface. Tell us about soft ground, puddles, uneven areas or old concrete, and show how materials can reach the garden. We assess the proposed grass area with the access and levels before preparing a quotation. Artificial grass, preparation materials and labour are considered separately so you can see what is included rather than choosing only from a surface photograph.
The installation scope should identify excavation, disposal, base materials, compaction, edging and the selected product. Joints and pile direction need consideration when setting out the lawn, especially around curves, trees or garden features. Drainage must remain compatible with the site and existing boundaries. Product choice can affect appearance, cleaning requirements and suitability for pets. Samples and manufacturer information should be reviewed before a material is approved.
What we assess
Plan the surface finish
Agree product, layout and joins before cutting. Include obstacles and access covers so the finished arrangement can be assessed realistically.
Discuss continued care
Review brushing, cleaning and removal of debris using the selected product guidance. Artificial grass still needs maintenance.
What to send us
Send measurements, postcode, current photos and details of gates or steps on the access route. Explain whether old turf, paving or a previous artificial surface must be removed. Identify inspection covers and any known buried services. The quotation separates groundwork, supplied turf, edging and waste. No product lifespan or warranty is asserted here.
What is separate
Major drainage correction, retaining structures and unrelated paving are separate scopes. A synthetic lawn is not a substitute for addressing significant movement, flooding or unstable fill.
✦ BEFORE YOU BOOK
Artificial Grass Installation questions.
Can artificial grass be laid over my old lawn?+
Preparation depends on the ground and specified system. Simply covering grass is not assumed to provide a suitable long-term base.
Does artificial grass need drainage?+
Yes. The product and base need an appropriate route for water; existing drainage problems should be assessed first.
Is it suitable for dogs?+
Discuss the product and cleaning requirements. Suitability depends on use and maintenance, and no hygiene or odour confirm is made.
Is it maintenance-free?+
No. Debris removal, brushing and appropriate cleaning may be needed. Follow the chosen manufacturer guidance.
Can I compare it with natural turf?+
Yes. Consider appearance, heat, drainage, upkeep and how the garden is used; the turfing page covers natural lawn installation.
