Artificial Grass in Wigan
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 seven miles from our Leigh base.
Artificial Grass for Wigan Gardens
A lot of Wigan’s terraced back gardens are shaded by the house on one side and a wall or outbuilding on the other, and real grass sulks in that light, thin, mossy and muddy for half the year. Artificial grass solves it outright: green in January, no mower, no bare patch under the washing line.
We cover Wigan and the surrounding area: Scholes, Whelley, Swinley, Beech Hill, Worsley Mesnes and beyond (WN1, WN2, WN3, WN6).

What’s Included
We install it as a groundworks job, not a carpet-fitting job, full dig-out, compacted stone base, weed membrane, then the grass cut in tight and fixed so it stays flat for years. In a smaller Wigan yard the change is dramatic, because the lawn is most of the garden.
- 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 Wigan, FAQs
Better than the real thing, shade is exactly where natural lawns fail, and artificial grass doesn’t care. We make sure the base drains properly so a damp, shady corner doesn’t hold water underneath it.
A typical back garden takes two to three days, a day or so of ground preparation, then the base and the grass itself. Bigger lawns or tricky access add a little to that, and we’ll tell you at the quote stage.
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.
