Artificial Grass in Walkden
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. Around six miles from our Leigh base.
Artificial Grass for Walkden Gardens
Artificial grass suits Walkden gardens for a simple reason: a lot of them fight a losing battle with the weather. Heavy clay under much of the town holds water, and the smaller yards behind the terraces near the centre sit in shade for most of the day, a combination that turns real grass thin, mossy and muddy by the back end of the year. A properly installed artificial lawn stays green, flat and usable in January.
We cover Walkden and the surrounding area: the town centre, Hill Top, Parr Fold, Linnyshaw, Walkden North and beyond (M28).

What’s Included
Installation is where the money is earned. We excavate the old surface, build a compacted, free-draining aggregate base, fit a weed membrane and fix the turf taut so it drains freely and stays put. On Walkden’s clay that base layer is not optional. It’s the difference between a lawn that performs for a decade and one that puddles the first wet winter.
- 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 Walkden, FAQs
Yes. Plenty of terraced yards around Walkden town centre can only be reached through the house or a rear alley. We barrow materials through carefully, protect your floors, and price the extra labour honestly in the quote. Access has never stopped us doing a job.
Often, yes. Deep shade is one of the few problems no amount of lawn care fixes, and it’s common in Walkden’s enclosed yards. Good-quality artificial turf looks natural, needs no light and turns a dead corner into usable space.
You can, but you shouldn’t, and we won’t. Grass laid over turf goes lumpy and boggy as the ground underneath settles and rots. We always excavate and build a compacted sub-base first. It costs more than a quick overlay, but it’s the only way the lawn stays flat and drains properly.
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.
