Artificial grass installation, built from the ground up

Artificial grass is only as good as what is underneath it. Turf rolled out over bare soil settles unevenly, holds water and lets weeds push through within a year or two. A proper installation removes the existing surface to depth, replaces it with a compacted, free-draining base and adds a weed membrane before the turf goes down. That is the work that decides whether the lawn still looks flat and tidy years later.

It is a good fit for gardens where real grass struggles: deep shade, ground that stays wet through the Scottish winter, and small spaces that take heavy use from children or pets. It is less suited to a large, sunny lawn that already grows well, and we will say so if that is your garden.

At the site visit we look at levels, drainage, access for taking soil out and bringing aggregate in, and how the edges will finish against paths, borders and walls. The quote then sets out the area, the build-up underneath and the product itself.
