- How much does artificial grass installation cost in London?
- The cost depends on the area, the surface we are working on, how much excavation and waste removal is needed, access to the garden and the grass you choose. We quote after a site survey rather than giving a per-square-metre installation figure that would not hold once we see the ground.
- How long does an installation take?
- A straightforward domestic lawn is usually a two to three day job once the grass is on site, with larger gardens, heavy excavation or difficult access taking longer. We confirm the expected duration in the quotation.
- Do you remove the old turf and take it away?
- Yes. On a full lawn replacement we remove the existing grass and vegetation, excavate as the site requires and dispose of the excavated material as part of the works quoted.
- Can artificial grass be laid on existing concrete or paving?
- Yes, provided the surface is sound, the levels work and water can still drain away. We assess the condition and drainage first, and we will not lay grass over a surface that already holds water.
- Can you fit grass I have already bought?
- In most cases yes. We inspect the product and the site, confirm whether the grass is suitable for the way it will be used, and quote for labour and materials. Installation-only work is subject to that approval.
- What is the geotextile for?
- It sits between the prepared foundation and the grass. It separates the layers, helps suppress weeds and keeps the base stable. We lay Royal Grass geotextile across the whole prepared area, including under joins.
- Do you have to use sand infill?
- Only where the product calls for it. Where infill is specified we use kiln-dried silica sand, applied and brushed in at the manufacturer's rate, which supports the fibres and adds weight.
- Do you install balconies and roof terraces?
- Yes, and they are always individually assessed. Waterproofing, drainage outlets, door clearance, loading and wind exposure all decide whether and how the grass can be laid, so we survey before quoting.
- Which areas do you cover?
- London and the surrounding counties. If you are outside that area, send the enquiry anyway and we will tell you whether we can reach you.
