Artificial Grass Services in Woolwich

We handle everything from the initial excavation and aggregate sub-base to the final seaming of your luxury artificial lawn.

Muddy, Patchy Lawns

The Problem: Heavy foot traffic, pets, and shaded urban gardens can make keeping real grass alive almost impossible.

Our Fix: We install high-end, realistic artificial grass giving you a perfect, mud-free lawn 365 days a year.

Poor Garden Drainage

The Problem: Many SE18 gardens suffer from heavy clay soil that turns the lawn into a swamp after rain.

Our Fix: We excavate the clay and install a fully compacted, porous MOT Type 1 and granite dust sub-base for maximum water runoff.

Pet Odours & Wear

The Problem: Dogs can destroy natural lawns and leave lingering smells in standard artificial grass setups.

Our Fix: We use specialized pet-friendly polyurethane-backed turf and zeolite infills that neutralize odours and drain instantly.

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 Woolwich 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 Woolwich

Is artificial grass suitable for dogs in Woolwich?

Yes, absolutely. We install specific pet-friendly artificial grass with a polyurethane backing rather than standard latex. Combined with a specialist porous sub-base and deodorizing infill, it drains urine instantly and prevents odours.

How long does artificial grass take to install in a typical SE18 garden?

A standard Woolwich terraced garden usually takes 1 to 2 days. This includes removing the old lawn, laying the compacted aggregate sub-base, and precision-fitting the artificial grass.

Will my artificial lawn flood during heavy rain?

No. The most important part of our installation is the groundworks. We excavate the heavy London clay and replace it with a fully porous MOT Type 1 aggregate and granite dust sub-base, ensuring superior drainage compared to natural soil.
