Does this sound like your garden?
The grass never grows well, the garden is long and narrow, and you are tired of mowing a lawn that is bald in summer and mud in winter.
The job
A long, narrow back garden with a hard, worn surface. We prepared the ground and laid artificial grass from the house to the back fence.
What we did
- Cleared the old surface
- Levelled and prepared a firm base
- Laid and joined the artificial grass
- Trimmed the edges and cleared away all waste

Questions people ask
How long does artificial grass last?
Good quality artificial grass usually lasts around 10 to 15 years, depending on use and how well the base was prepared.
Does artificial grass drain on clay soil?
It drains through the backing, but on heavy clay the sub-base must be built to let water get away, or puddles will form.
Is artificial grass good with dogs?
Yes, if it is rinsed regularly. A well-drained base helps stop smells.
