Overview
## About OurArtificial Grass Service.

What it is

Artificial grass is a synthetic turf laid over a purpose-built base of compacted stone, sharp sand and a weed membrane, edged in timber or block, and joint-taped where two rolls meet. Done properly, it drains freely, feels like the real thing and lasts 10+ years.

Who it's for

It's for homeowners tired of muddy patches, moss, weeds and mowing — families with dogs, small gardens that don't get enough sunlight for real turf, or households where the lawn just isn't the priority anymore.

When you need it

Choose artificial grass when replacing a failed lawn, laying a small garden or courtyard where mowing would be a chore, softening a rear garden alongside a new patio or resin drive, or creating a play area that stays green all year.

Why professional matters

Artificial grass laid straight on soil is a disaster. Uneven, spongy, weeds through the backing within a season, seams that show. Every install we do has the same base build-up as a paving job — because that's what makes it last.

 What happens when it's done wrong
## The Failures WeGet Called To Fix.
Cutting corners on artificial grass shows up fast. Here's what to avoid — and what we build into every install instead.

### Lumpy, uneven surface
Grass laid over compacted soil settles unevenly — you can feel every high and low spot underfoot within months.

### Weeds through the backing
Skipped membrane and weeds push through the perforated backing from below.

### Visible, unglued seams
Joins between rolls fail without proper joint tape and glue, opening a visible line straight down the lawn.

### Standing water &amp; sour smells
No drainage layer under the turf and rainwater (and dog urine) sits on top of the base, going stagnant.

Our process
## How We InstallYour Artificial Grass.

01

### Free site visit &amp; quote
We visit, measure, discuss pile height and colour, and quote within 24 hours in writing.

02

### Excavation &amp; sub-base
Strip existing turf and topsoil, excavate 75mm minimum, lay a compacted MOT type-1 sub-base with drainage falls.

03

### Membrane &amp; edging
Weed-suppressant membrane laid full, timber or block edging installed all the way round.

04

### Sharp-sand blinding &amp; lay
Screeded sharp-sand blinding layer, turf rolled out to acclimatise, cut in and joint-taped at every seam.

05

### Sand-infill &amp; finish
Kiln-dried sand infill brushed into the pile, edges pinned, final brush-up and 10-year workmanship guarantee.

Benefits
## Why It's WorthDoing It Right.

### Green all year, no mowing
No mower, no strimmer, no watering — every weekend back.

### Kid- and dog-safe
Non-toxic, no muddy pawprints, and it drains freely so no puddles.

### Drains like a paved surface
Compacted MOT sub-base + free-draining infill = rainwater straight through.

### 10-year-plus lifespan
Premium turf, laid properly, lasts a decade of family use.

### Looks real up close
Multi-tone, root-zone and thatch layers in modern turfs pass the up-close test.

### 10-year workmanship guarantee
In writing, on top of the manufacturer's turf warranty.

Deep detail
## Everything We Install&amp; How We Install It.

### Materials we use
Premium 30–40mm pile artificial turf — multi-tone colour, root-zone and thatch layers, UV-stable backing. Sub-base is MOT type-1 with a sharp-sand blinding. Membrane is heavy-duty non-woven geotextile. Joint tape and outdoor grass adhesive at every seam. Edging is treated timber, block or steel depending on the design.

### Our methods
Strip existing lawn and topsoil to 75mm minimum. Lay and compact MOT type-1 sub-base with falls for drainage. Roll out membrane with laps and pin. Install edging first — grass sits inside the frame, not laid over it. Screed a sharp-sand blinding layer to a smooth flat plane. Roll out turf, let it acclimatise, cut in tight to edges, joint-tape and glue every seam. Brush in kiln-dried sand infill.

### Where it applies
Artificial grass is the right call for shaded gardens, dog owners, low-maintenance households and any garden where mowing is a chore. It's the wrong call for wildlife-first gardens and for households who genuinely want the smell and softness of real turf.

### Residential vs commercial
Overwhelmingly residential. Also small commercial and hospitality installs — beer garden decking, nursery play areas, event spaces.

### Variations of this service
Rear garden lawnsThe most common install — replacing a tired real lawn with a low-maintenance year-round surface.

Small courtyards &amp; balconiesWhere a real lawn would never thrive — shaded courtyards, patio corners and roof terraces.

Dog runs &amp; play areasPet-specific short-pile turfs with enhanced drainage for dog-heavy gardens.

Front-garden lawnsFront garden replacements alongside a new driveway, all done in one visit.

10-year workmanship guarantee

Every artificial grass install is fully insured and backed for 10 years in writing. In-house crew, no sub-contracting, staged payments available.

### Slabbing &amp; Patio Installation
A slabbed patio is a paved outdoor floor made from large-format concrete, natural sandstone, limestone or granite slabs, laid on a full mortar bed over a compacted sub-base and pointed with a purpose-made brush-in compound.

### Fencing Installation
Fencing is the perimeter of your garden — and the single most visible piece of landscaping when you look out from the house. It's a system of posts (concrete or pressure-treated timber), gravel boards to keep the panels off the wet ground, and panels or feather-edge boards to make the run itself.

### Porcelain Driveways, Patios &amp; Pathways
Porcelain paving is a high-density vitrified tile designed for outdoor use — near-zero water absorption, frost-proof, stain-resistant and dimensionally accurate. It's laid on a full mortar bed with a priming slurry to bond the tile to the mortar, giving a flat, stable, long-life patio, driveway or path.
