ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION
Artificial Grass Supply & Installation
Verdant Landscape Gardens supplies and installs artificial grass for domestic gardens, from individual lawn replacements to larger garden refurbishment projects.
Our installations include the removal of existing lawns, excavation, preparation of a suitable sub-base, consideration of drainage and the fitting and finishing of artificial grass. We can also coordinate the installation with patios, paths, decking and planting areas.
With landscaping teams based in Farnborough and Caversham, we undertake artificial grass installation across Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey. We can discuss whether artificial grass or a natural lawn is more appropriate for your garden and how you intend to use it.

HOW WE WORKS
Our Process
A successful artificial grass installation depends on more than the surface itself. We assess the existing ground, intended use, finished levels and drainage requirements before preparing the base and installing the selected grass.
Our team can undertake the necessary excavation, ground preparation, edging and installation as a standalone project or as part of wider garden landscaping.

GROUND PREPARATION & INSTALLATION
Professional Artificial Grass Ground Preparation
The quality of an artificial grass installation depends heavily on the preparation beneath it. Simply laying artificial grass over an unsuitable surface can lead to uneven areas, movement and drainage problems.
We assess the existing ground and undertake the necessary excavation, installation and compaction of suitable base materials, and preparation of the final laying surface. The construction depends on the site conditions, intended use and the artificial grass system being installed.
We also consider perimeter restraints, junctions with paving and other garden features, and how surface water will drain. Where required, drainage improvements can be incorporated into the landscaping work.

ARTIFICIAL OR NATURAL GRASS
Is Artificial Grass Right for Your Garden?
Artificial grass can be useful where a homeowner wants to avoid regular mowing or where an area is subject to frequent use. It can also provide a consistent appearance in locations where maintaining natural turf has proved difficult.
However, artificial grass is not maintenance-free. Leaves and debris need removing, the pile may require brushing, and areas used by pets need regular cleaning. Artificial surfaces can also become considerably hotter than natural grass in direct sunlight.
Natural lawns offer different benefits, including a cooler living surface and support for garden wildlife. Verdant installs both natural turf and artificial grass, allowing us to discuss the practical advantages and disadvantages of each option rather than recommending the same solution for every garden.

Mike Grubb
The Verdant Landscapes Ltd team transformed our garden from a poorly utilised vegetable patch to raised beds with a solid base for a greenhouse. Over 4 days they put in a compacted base, built oak framed raised beds and cut in all the paving slabs to provide a path around the entire area before finally filling the beds with new topsoil. We’re very pleased with the transformation. We would happily use Verdant Landscapes again for future projects as they took real care with their work.
Liam Neill
I CAN’T recommend Verdant Landscapes enough. This was the second project they have done for me and thanks to the team they have delivered me my dream outdoor kitchen. I’ve wanted this for years and couldn’t be happier to have it and to have been finished to such a high standard. They replaced the steps to my house, the front patio, laid stones down the side, a new patio to the rear and raised patio complete with the outdoor kitchen. Quality of work is faultless and also an exceptionally nice team of guys that do the work that are a pleasure to have over.
Thanks so much 🙏
Robin Carder
Excellent experience all round.
Tom delivered a professional quote in line with other companies. We were scheduled at quick notice and despite weather delays we were regularly updated.
The team took great care and craftsmanship and were a pleasure to have around. Very neat and tidy..
Job- replace sleeper wall and 5 fence panels
Matt & Rose Arneaud
Absolutely superb effort and end result for our garden re-design project.
Couldn’t have been happier with the team that Tom had in place. On time everyday and worked solid days to get it completed on time. No issues or dramas, just a great experienced team who knew what needed to be done and got it done. The finished result was 10/10, and could not have asked for anything more.
It’s tricky when selecting builders for big jobs like this, but Tom demonstrated knowledge and confidence from the outset and proved it when he brought the team along.
The team at Verdant replaced a stone patio from our new build developers with a stunning Porcelain tile as well as created a new secondary patio around our garden office, and levelled all the grounds finishing with a an amazing premium quality artificial grass. Finished off with a top class veranda to give us plenty of shade and shelter from the rain! It was a big job, but they delivered and completed in under 2 weeks, which was astonishing.
Thank you Tom and Team, absolutely great job and would 100% recommend again and again.
Gail Deason

Tom and the team have completely transformed our garden! The result is amazing, we are so pleased and can't thank them enough. The whole team are both thoroughly professional and friendly and understanding, working tirelessly in transforming our vision into reality. Can't recommend them enough! Thank you team Verdant!
Angela Tolley
Well what can I say from start to finish these guys have been amazing!
Sean firstly, relaxed but professional on the first call and very quick at arranging a visit to look at the work to be done.
First meeting very friendly and put me at ease straight away.
There was lots of phone calls regarding work/quotes and questions and he took it all in his stride.
Part of the reason we decide on theses guys to do the job was that they gave us the clearest idea of what the garden was going to look like once finished.
After deciding on the company to do the work we meet Tom who over saw the whole job, and yes he was there everyday of the 6 week long transformation! Again professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
The team was made up with 2 more friendly chaps John and feluke and three worked none stop over the whole of the job, always there to answer my many questions and reassure me and my husband along the way. We cannot thank them enough for all there hard work and would recommend them to anyone!
They finished the job and the property was left spotless ( eg drive/ garage etc) great work and now to enjoy the summer!
Sarah Bullivant
Thank you so much to you all for your amazing hard work in transforming our garden. From start to finish you have been truly awesome. We could not of asked for a better service. Highly recommend Verdant to anyone. Thanks again.
ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION COSTS
How Much Does Artificial Grass Installation Cost?
The cost of artificial grass installation depends on the size and shape of the area, the selected grass, existing ground conditions and the preparation required.
Removing an existing lawn, disposing of excavated materials, constructing a suitable sub-base, improving drainage and installing perimeter edging can all affect the quotation. Areas with restricted access or complex shapes may also require additional labour.
Verdant prepares quotations based on the site and agreed specification, covering the ground preparation and installation rather than simply the cost of the artificial grass material.

artificial grass FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How long does artificial grass last?
The lifespan of artificial grass depends on the product quality, installation, amount of use and maintenance.
Different products have different manufacturer warranties and expected service lives. Heavy use, sunlight exposure and inadequate ground preparation can affect how the surface performs over time.
We can discuss suitable products and their specifications for your particular garden.
Is artificial grass suitable for dogs and children?
Artificial grass can be suitable for family gardens and areas used by dogs, provided an appropriate product and installation system are selected.
For gardens used by pets, drainage and regular cleaning are particularly important to prevent odours and maintain hygiene.
Artificial grass can also become hot in direct sunlight, so surface temperatures should be checked before children or pets use it during hot weather.
Does artificial grass need drainage?
Yes. Water needs to drain through or away from the artificial grass installation.
The appropriate base construction depends on the existing ground conditions and where water can discharge. Where the site has poor drainage, additional groundworks or drainage measures may be required.
We assess these conditions before recommending the installation method.
Can artificial grass be installed over an existing lawn?
We would not normally recommend laying artificial grass directly over an existing natural lawn.
The existing grass and unsuitable underlying material generally need to be removed before constructing a properly prepared and compacted base.
This helps achieve a more stable and even finished surface.
How do you clean and maintain artificial grass?
Artificial grass requires regular removal of leaves, litter and other debris. Brushing may also be necessary to maintain the appearance of the pile, particularly in frequently used areas.
Pet waste should be removed promptly, and affected areas cleaned using methods appropriate for the grass product.
Maintenance requirements vary by manufacturer, so the relevant product guidance should be followed.
Is natural turf or artificial grass better for my garden?
Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Natural turf provides a living, cooler surface that supports garden biodiversity, but requires mowing, watering during establishment and ongoing lawn care.
Artificial grass avoids mowing and maintains a consistent appearance, but still needs cleaning and maintenance and has environmental drawbacks.
Verdant installs both, so we can discuss which is more appropriate for your garden, its intended use and your preferences.
