Realistic Fake Grass Fitted to Last
Artificial grass has come a long way and now looks far more natural than older styles. It is popular for gardens that are hard to keep looking good, spaces with heavy use, and areas where grass struggles to grow.
A quality install starts with removing poor ground, building a stable base, and fitting the turf with neat joins and secure edges so it stays flat and drains properly.
Professional fitting matters because common DIY mistakes can ruin the finish. Poor preparation can lead to ripples, dips, or water sitting on the surface, and weak edges can lift over time.
Ben Unsworth Grass Care & Maintenance installs the customer’s chosen artificial lawn and offers advice on the best options for the space. The result is low maintenance and durable, with weeds, moss, and pests reduced and a lifespan that can exceed ten years with sensible care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Artificial Grass
What does artificial grass installation involve?
Artificial grass installation involves preparing the ground, building a stable base, and fitting the artificial lawn so it sits flat and drains properly. It usually includes levelling, compacting, adding a sub base, and fitting a weed barrier before the fake grass is cut and secured.
Joins are aligned to keep the pile direction consistent. For example, weak ground preparation can lead to dips and ripples, while secure edges help prevent lifting and keep the lawn looking neat over time.
When should you consider fitting an artificial lawn?
Fitting an artificial lawn should be considered when natural grass struggles to stay tidy or healthy. This is common in shaded gardens, high footfall areas, and homes with children or pets where lawns get worn and muddy.
Artificial grass is also useful for people who want a consistently green look without regular mowing or reseeding. For example, gardens that become patchy after winter often stay presentable year round with a properly installed artificial lawn
How much does artificial grass typically cost?
Artificial grass typically costs based on the size of the area, the type of fake grass chosen, and how much groundwork is needed. Higher quality products often cost more but can look more realistic and last longer.
Preparation can also affect price, especially if the ground is uneven, poorly draining, or needs extra base work. Access and edging details can also influence cost. A small simple area is usually cheaper than a larger space with lots of cuts, curves, or tight access.
How long does artificial grass installation usually take?
Artificial grass installation usually takes from one day to a few days depending on the size of the area and the condition of the ground. Smaller gardens with straightforward access can often be completed quickly, while larger spaces may take longer due to excavation, base building, and careful fitting.
Weather can also affect timings, especially if heavy rain slows down ground preparation. The benefit is that an artificial lawn can be used soon after fitting once edges are secure and the finish is brushed.
How should I prepare for artificial grass fitting?
Preparing for artificial grass fitting usually means clearing the area of furniture, toys, planters, and anything that blocks access. It also helps to plan where edging will sit, such as around borders, patios, or paths.
If pets use the garden, a short plan for keeping them off the area during installation is sensible. Easy access to gates and a route for removing waste is also helpful, as ground preparation often involves removing existing turf and soil before the new base is installed.
How long do the results of artificial grass installation last?
The results of artificial grass installation can last for ten years or more depending on product quality, usage, and how well it was installed. A stable base and secure edges help stop dips, movement, and lifting over time.
Heavy footfall areas may show more flattening, but occasional brushing can keep fibres standing up better. For example, homes with pets often find artificial lawns hold up well when installed properly, with good drainage and a surface that stays usable in wet weather.
Is DIY fake grass a good alternative to professional fitting?
DIY fake grass can work for very small simple areas, but many problems come from poor preparation and weak fixing. Common DIY issues include ripples, visible joins, sinking, and edges lifting after weather changes.
Drainage can also be a problem if the base is not built correctly. Professional fitting is often chosen to get the groundwork right and keep the finish looking realistic. For example, carefully aligned pile direction and tight joins can make a big difference to how natural the lawn looks.
What should you look for when choosing artificial grass installers?
When choosing artificial grass installers, look for strong ground preparation, secure edging, and a tidy finish with well-matched joins. Good installers should explain base depth, drainage approach, and how the fake grass will be fixed to prevent movement.
Advice on choosing the right product is also useful, as thickness, pile height, and density affect realism and durability. Clear communication matters too so the plan is understood before fitting starts, and the site is left clean once work is complete.
What to Expect from Professional Fake Grass Fitters
Expect costs to depend on area size, turf choice, and how much base work is required.
There will be disruption during excavation and preparation, but the site should be left tidy with waste removed.
Timeframes depend on access and ground conditions, yet reliability matters most, turning up as agreed, fitting it neatly, and leaving a stable surface that looks natural.
Our Approach to Artificial Lawn Fitting
It starts with a quick chat about how the space is used and what type of artificial grass you prefer. Advice is then given on options that suit the garden and footfall.
Groundwork is completed to create a stable base, then the artificial lawn is cut, joined, and secured for a clean finish. The final step is brushing and detailing so the fake grass looks natural, sits flat, and is ready to enjoy with minimal upkeep.
