Lawns & Artificial Grass in Edenbridge

Natural turf or artificial grass?

Natural turf is soft underfoot, cool in summer and good for wildlife, but it needs mowing, feeding and watering. Artificial grass stays green all year and needs little routine care, which suits busy households, shaded areas where grass struggles, and small courtyard gardens.

Many gardens use both: real lawn where children and pets play most, and artificial grass in awkward corners, roof terraces or areas next to paving. Rob can talk through what suits your garden, your soil and how you use the space.

What a new lawn installation includes

• Clearing old grass, weeds and debris
• Levelling and, where needed, improving drainage on heavy or waterlogged ground
• Topsoil and preparation for natural turf
• Compacted, free-draining sub-base and membrane for artificial grass
• Edging in timber, metal, brick or paving to keep a crisp line
• Removal of waste from site

Dealing with boggy and waterlogged gardens

Much of the Weald sits on clay, which holds water through the winter. Laying new turf straight onto compacted clay rarely solves the problem. Depending on the garden, the answer can include regrading levels, improving the soil, adding a drainage layer or installing land drains, before the new surface goes down.

Combining a lawn with other garden work

A lawn is often the last stage of a bigger project. Planning it alongside a new patio, path, fencing or sleeper beds means levels and edges line up, and the lawn is not damaged by heavy work afterwards.

Cost and timing

Price depends on the area, the condition of the existing ground, how much preparation and drainage is needed, access for materials and the product chosen. Rob can quote from a site visit or from photos and rough measurements.
