Artificial Grass in Leigh
Fake grass and artificial lawns installed on a proper foundation. Dug out, compacted and fixed taut, so the grass looks right and drains right for years. Our home base.
Artificial Grass for Leigh Gardens
Artificial grass has taken off in Leigh, and it makes sense: wet winters, clay-heavy soil that drains slowly, and plenty of homes with dogs and kids who turn a real lawn into mud by November. A properly installed artificial lawn stays green and usable twelve months a year.
We cover Leigh and the surrounding area: Pennington, Westleigh, Higher Folds, Plank Lane, Bedford and beyond (WN7).

What’s Included
The word "properly" matters. We excavate, lay a compacted sub-base, install a weed membrane and fix the turf so it stays taut and drains freely, the difference between a lawn that looks good for a decade and one that ripples after its first summer.
- Full excavation and compacted sub-base, never laid over old turf
- Weed membrane and free-draining base as standard
- Pet-friendly and child-friendly grass options
- Grass stretched taut and fixed securely at every edge
- Neat trims and hidden joints against paving and borders
- Old lawn and spoil removed and disposed of
How It Works
Artificial Grass in Leigh, FAQs
Yes, as long as the sub-base is done right. Clay drains slowly, so we build a free-draining aggregate base under the turf. That’s the part of the job you never see, and it’s the part that matters most.
Very. It can’t be dug up, it doesn’t stain like mud, and it rinses clean. Plenty of our Leigh installs are for exactly this reason.
Very little. Brush the pile up now and then to keep it standing, clear leaves off in autumn, and give it an occasional rinse if you’ve got pets. There’s no mowing, feeding, weeding or reseeding, which is the main reason most people swap a real lawn for astro turf.
You’ll see it quoted online as a price per square metre, but the real figure depends on the size of the area, the grass you choose and how much groundwork is needed. The grass itself varies a fair bit in price between budget and premium ranges. We quote per job after a free site visit, so you get an exact written price before anything starts.
Yes, it’s one of the most common reasons people have fake grass fitted. Dog urine drains through the backing and sub-base, and any mess lifts off easily and can be rinsed with water. We can recommend harder-wearing grasses for gardens with big or energetic dogs.
