Artificial grass installation

Use, loading and layout

Small gardens and defined play or seating zones and layouts where regular mowing is difficult can place different demands on the construction. We measure vehicle movements, pedestrian routes, furniture or garden use, then check whether the proposed layout leaves practical access around doors, gates and parked vehicles.

The intended use influences excavation, support, edge restraint and detail around covers or thresholds. It is better to settle those requirements before selecting a colour or pattern.

Finish, colour and detailing

Options can include pile heights and textures selected for the intended use and defined block, timber or metal perimeter edges. Samples should be considered beside the property because brick, render, roof colour, shade and surrounding planting can change how a finish looks outdoors.

Borders and transitions are functional as well as decorative. They can define curves, secure an edge, separate materials and make future repairs easier to set out neatly.

Preparation and water management

The starting point is to assess use, pet requirements, drainage, access and finished levels. We then agree how much existing material must be removed, what supporting layers are required and where excavated material can be handled safely.

Excavate and compact the specified free-draining base and edges. Finished levels must protect damp-proof courses and door thresholds while directing rainfall towards a suitable within-boundary route.

Care, repair and realistic expectations

The product and complete base need to pass water to a suitable route. Existing clay, low spots or enclosed edges can still create drainage problems.

We explain routine cleaning, joint or edge checks and any product-specific aftercare before work starts. No outdoor surface is maintenance-free, but good preparation and timely local repairs can prevent small defects becoming disruptive failures.
