Frequently Asked Questions

What is artificial grass?

Artificial grass is a manufactured surface made from synthetic fibres designed to look and feel like natural grass, but without regular mowing, watering or feeding. Modern products are UV-stable, drain through the backing and are often designed to be child- and pet-friendly.

How much does artificial grass cost in Stafford?

The cost of the grass itself depends on the quality, pile height and density, with cheaper ranges at the lower end and more realistic, softer lawns at the higher end. This price is separate from installation and groundwork, so a survey and quote are needed to know your total project cost.

How much does artificial grass installation cost?

Installation cost depends on garden size, how much ground preparation is needed, whether existing turf or paving must be removed and what base we build underneath. Because every garden is different, we offer a free visit and then give a clear, itemised quote rather than a fixed per-job price.

How much does laying artificial grass cost?

Laying costs depend on access, the amount of excavation and base work, the type of underlay, edging details and any awkward shapes or obstacles in your garden. We always confirm a tailored price after a free site visit in Stafford, so you know exactly what your full supply-and-fit project will cost.

How do you lay artificial grass?

In simple terms, you remove the existing turf, excavate to the required depth, install and compact a suitable sub-base, add a levelling layer and weed membrane, then cut, lay and secure the grass with neat joins and edges. For best results and drainage, this is usually better handled by a professional installer rather than DIY.

How do you lay artificial grass on concrete?

You start by cleaning the concrete, repairing obvious cracks or dips, then adding any required underlay or shockpad before rolling out, cutting and fixing the artificial grass securely around the edges. Because poor preparation can cause trip hazards or poor drainage, we usually recommend using a professional installer for concrete areas.

Do I need an underlay for artificial grass on concrete?

An underlay isn't always mandatory, but it is usually recommended on concrete or hard surfaces because it adds cushioning, helps with minor level issues and can improve drainage and comfort underfoot. We'll advise on the best combination for your particular patio, balcony or yard.
