Artificial grass in Guildford
Artificial grass only looks real and drains well if the ground beneath it is prepared properly. We remove the old turf, lay a compacted, free-draining base and a weed membrane, then fit and join the grass so the seams disappear.

FAQs
Artificial grass: your questions answered
Is artificial grass really maintenance-free?
It's low-maintenance rather than no-maintenance. Expect to brush it now and then, clear fallen leaves and rinse areas used by pets. A leaf blower makes autumn quick.
Is artificial grass good for dogs?
It can be, as long as the base drains freely. Rinse the areas your dog uses regularly and pick up mess promptly. Some products are made for pets and drain faster.
Does artificial grass get hot in summer?
It can get warm in strong, direct sun, more so than real grass. Lighter shades and products with cooling features help, and a quick spray with the hose cools it down.
