Artificial grass
No mud, no mowing and no bare patches under the trampoline. The grass is the last thing that goes down — everything before it is what decides how it looks in five years.
The build-up
Most bad artificial grass isn’t bad grass — it’s a bad base. Here’s everything that goes in before a roll comes off the van.
Turf, roots and soft topsoil dug out and carted away. Laying grass over an old lawn is why it ends up soft and uneven.
MOT stone in layers, whacked between each one. This is the layer that decides whether it ripples in two years.
Screeded and levelled to a smooth finish so every undulation is gone before the grass goes anywhere near it.
Laid over the base so nothing works its way up through the pile.
Joining tape and adhesive, pile direction matched. A good joint is one you can’t find afterwards.
Fixed to timber or paving edges, then kiln-dried sand brushed in to weight it and stand the pile up.
Send a photo of the lawn and a rough size — we’ll come and price it properly.
Where it works best
We’d rather tell you now than take the money and let you find out. Artificial grass is brilliant in the right spot and a compromise in the wrong one.

Questions
Yes, and dogs are one of the main reasons people ring us. It drains straight through, it doesn’t churn into mud in winter and it can be hosed down. The base and the edge fixings are what stop a dog lifting a corner, which is why we don’t skimp on either.
The grass itself is the easy part — a decent pile lasts many years. What ages badly is a poor base. Ripples, dips and lifting edges are base failures, not grass failures.
In direct sun it does warm up more than real grass. Shade, a hose down, or planning some planting or a canopy over part of it all help. Worth knowing before you commit the whole garden to it.
We won’t. Laying over old turf means the organic matter underneath rots down and the surface goes soft and lumpy within a season. It gets dug out properly.
It drains through the backing into the stone base underneath. Puddles come from a base that wasn’t compacted or levelled properly, or from ground with nowhere to drain to — which is something we look at before quoting.
Best way to do it. The levels have to line up where they meet and the drainage has to work across both. Doing them in one visit means no awkward step and no gap along the joint.
Areas covered
We work across HD postcodes and out into the surrounding valleys. Steep gardens, clay ground and awkward access are normal round here — it's what we quote for.
