Artificial Grass for Westhoughton Gardens
A fair few Westhoughton gardens are fighting a losing battle with real grass, shaded terraced yards where the sun barely reaches, and family lawns on the newer estates that get trampled to mud between October and March. Artificial grass ends that fight: green in January, usable straight after rain, and no mower to drag out.
We cover Westhoughton and the surrounding area: Wingates, Daisy Hill, Chequerbent, Chew Moor, Hart Common and beyond (BL5).

What’s Included
What separates a ten-year lawn from a two-year one is everything underneath it. We dig out the old surface, build a compacted, free-draining base, fit a weed membrane and secure every edge and seam. The shortcuts that cause creases, weed growth and soggy patches are exactly the steps we refuse to skip.
- 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 Westhoughton, FAQs
A quality turf on a properly built base should give you well over a decade of use. The grass itself rarely fails first. It’s poor groundwork that kills cheap installs, which is why we put most of the labour into what you never see.
Yes, compact yards around the town centre and Daisy Hill are ideal for it. Even without side access we can carry materials through, and a small green lawn transforms a paved backyard completely.
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.
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.
