Artificial Turf Laying in Plumstead

From removing old, worn-out grass to installing a weed membrane and premium synthetic turf, we provide a full turnkey service.

Shaded Gardens

The Problem: Plumstead gardens often have large trees or high fences that block sunlight, killing natural grass.

Our Fix: Artificial grass thrives anywhere, instantly turning dark, muddy patches into a vibrant, usable space.

Uneven Ground

The Problem: Bumpy, uneven lawns make garden furniture unstable and look untidy.

Our Fix: Our multi-layer aggregate sub-base is laser-levelled before the turf is laid, ensuring a perfectly flat finish.

High Maintenance

The Problem: Mowing, weeding, and feeding a lawn takes up valuable weekend time.

Our Fix: Our premium synthetic turf requires zero mowing or watering—just an occasional brush to keep the pile upright.

Preparation & Aftercare

Site Preparation

Clear the area of existing grass, weeds, roots, stones, and debris before starting any installation. Then level the ground, improve the soil or base as needed, and make sure the surface is firm but not compacted so the new finish sits properly. Good preparation is the difference between a lawn that settles well and one that sinks, shifts, or looks uneven later.

For artificial grass: Excavate the area and install a compacted sub-base with proper drainage before laying the artificial grass. A weed membrane is usually added above the base to reduce weed growth, and a levelling layer helps create a smooth finish. The base must be stable and even, because artificial grass relies on the groundwork rather than root growth.

Artificial Grass Aftercare

Artificial grass needs far less aftercare than natural turf, but it should still be brushed, cleaned, and checked regularly to keep it looking its best. Remove leaves and debris, rinse away dirt when needed, and keep edges and joints free from weed growth or movement so the finish stays neat over time. If your install uses infill, it should be topped up or redistributed when necessary to help the pile stay upright and even.

Local Plumstead Artificial Grass FAQs

Can you lay artificial grass on soil?

Yes, but only with proper preparation underneath. Artificial grass should not go directly onto loose soil; it needs an excavated, compacted base with drainage, a weed membrane, and a suitable sub-base for stability. If the groundwork is poor, the finished lawn can sink, wrinkle, or hold water.

What should you put down before laying artificial grass?

Before artificial grass is installed, the area should be cleared and excavated, then built up with a compacted sub-base and a weed membrane. This helps with drainage, stops movement, and prevents weeds from growing through the surface. A well-prepared base is what makes artificial grass look neat and last longer.

Do you need a sub-base for artificial grass?

Yes, a sub-base is usually needed for artificial grass because it gives the lawn structure, drainage, and long-term stability. Without it, the surface can shift or become uneven over time. The sub-base is one of the most important parts of a proper artificial turf installation.

Do you need to put sand under artificial grass?

Sand is often used as part of the final levelling or blinding layer, but it should not be treated as a replacement for a proper sub-base. The main role of the base is to provide drainage and compaction, while the final layer helps create a smooth finish. For best results, the whole build-up should be installed in layers, not just spread over soil.

Can you lay artificial grass over existing grass?

No, it is not recommended to lay artificial grass directly over existing grass. The old lawn will break down underneath, and the new surface will not have the stable, level base it needs. Proper excavation and base preparation are the right way to get a long-lasting finish.

Artificial Grass Questions We Hear Across Plumstead

How long does artificial grass last?

Our premium artificial grass comes with UV stabilizers to prevent fading and is designed to last 15-20 years with normal garden use in Plumstead.

Do I need to maintain my artificial lawn?

Maintenance is minimal. We recommend removing leaves in autumn and occasionally brushing the pile with a stiff broom to keep the fibres standing upright.

Can you install artificial grass over concrete or decking?

Yes, we can lay artificial grass over existing patios or decking, provided the surface is sound and has adequate drainage. We use a specialist shock pad underlay to soften the surface and mask any joint lines.
