A practical garden surface that stays usable
Artificial grass is ideal when natural grass struggles due to shade, heavy use or poor drainage. It keeps gardens tidy and usable without the constant cycle of patching and reseeding. Many families choose it for play areas and pet friendly spaces where real grass never quite recovers.
The difference between a surface that lasts and one that fails is the preparation underneath. A strong base, correct levels and secure edges are what stop movement and dips over time.
How the installation works
We start by assessing levels, drainage and access. Existing turf is removed and the ground is prepared to the correct depth. A compacted base is installed to create a firm foundation that supports the surface above.
The grass is then laid, trimmed and secured with clean joins and tidy edging. Everything is brushed and finished so the surface looks natural and feels comfortable underfoot.
Getting the groundwork right for local garden conditions
Artificial grass only performs properly when the groundwork is done correctly. We take time to prepare each garden based on its condition, access and how the space will be used.
In parts of South Lanarkshire, heavier soil and poor drainage are common, which makes correct excavation and base preparation especially important for long-term results.
After removing existing turf, the ground is excavated to the correct depth and a compacted base is installed to provide long-term stability. Levels are set carefully so water drains away naturally, helping prevent soft spots or uneven areas developing over time.
Edging is fixed securely around borders, paths and paved areas to keep everything in place. This attention to detail is what keeps the finished surface looking neat and easy to live with.
Is artificial grass right for every garden
Artificial grass works well in many gardens, but it is not always the right solution for every space. Areas with heavy shade, poor drainage or constant foot traffic often benefit the most.
Some gardens work better with a mix of surfaces. Artificial grass can be combined with planting, paving or decking to create a layout that suits how the space is actually used. We give honest advice on what will work best.
Popular combinations
Artificial grass is often paired with landscaping to improve levels and drainage and create a more usable garden.
New fencing and gates can also help define the space and improve privacy and safety.
