Artificial Grass for Lowton Gardens
The back gardens on Lowton’s newer estates are exactly where artificial grass makes sense: modest in size, heavily used by kids and dogs, and often started life as developer turf laid straight onto compacted clay that turns to mud by the second winter. An artificial lawn done properly stays green, flat and usable every day of the year.
We cover Lowton and the surrounding area: Lane Head, Lowton St Mary’s, Lowton Common, Lowton Village, Byrom and beyond (WA3).

What’s Included
“Done properly” is the whole job. We strip out the failed grass and whatever the builders buried beneath it, build a compacted free-draining base, fit a weed membrane and secure the turf so it stays taut for years. Skip any of those steps and you get the rippled, patchy lawns that give the product a bad name.
- 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

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.
