It all begins with the right tools.
A quality job requires quality tools. When we install your garden, our highly-skilled installation team uses professional-grade equipment. This enables us to install your garden to the Better Than Grass standard. Here’s how we use it to install a garden that lasts the test of time.
VIEW STEP DETAILS
Pre-installation: mud and mess.
This garden suffered from drainage problems – as many gardens in Britain are prone to. The owner was sick of getting muddy feet whenever they walked on the grass. Laying artificial grass offered the solution thanks to its excellent drainage properties.

Work begins with removal of the turf.
The first step in converting a garden from real to artificial is taking up the natural grass. We do this with a heavy duty industrial turf cutter. This is the most efficient way to remove a large area of grass and gives the best results. At this stage, we dig out the drainage channels.

The area is prepared for installation.
This garden had edging on only two sides originally. Full enclosure gives a better finish, so we installed edging on the remaining sides. We also treat the area with weed-killer to kill off roots and aid in the prevention of future weed growth.

It’s now time to lay the sub-base.
A sub-base is an important part of the installation as it helps create a level base for the garden and aids in drainage. We use Type 1 hardcore, modified for superior drainage qualities to achieve the Better Than Grass standard.

The sub-base is topped with crushed stone.
We level off the sub-base with the crushed stone and soak the area before it’s compacted and levelled.

The installation of the sub-base is completed.
After we’ve finished laying the sub-case and have topped it with crushed stone, it’s time to finish it off. We use a heavy-duty weed whacker plate to compact and level the area. This leaves us with a level, porous base.

We make sure your garden’s protected against weeds.
Before installing the base, we treated the area with weed killer. In addition to that, we install a weed proof membrane after the base has been laid. This gives the artificial grass additional protection.

At last - it’s time to install the grass.
Now that the base is prepared, we roll out the artificial grass ready to be installed. Our workmen wear soft shoes while working on your grass to avoid affecting your new grass with muddy boots.

We use a unique edging system.
Edging the garden gives a better, quality finish. We install our unique edging system. This prevents high winds from lifting your grass, kids from being able to pull the edges up and also prevents any unsightly worm casts. These occur when worms are able to push up at the edges of the grass.

Installed with complete attention to detail.
At Better Than Grass, no matter what the size of a job or task is, we take the time to do it right every time. Visible is our unique edging system. You may also notice how much the garden has been raised up using our methods of installation.

The perfect join.
After we’ve installed the grass to our exacting specifications, we seal the edgings with professional equipment and technique. This gives an invisible join.

Everything comes together.
Almost there – one of the last stages, we bring both sections of artificial grass together, taking the time and effort to make sure that these sections are completely seamless.

A sand infill provides support and a natural appearance.
A sand infill is spread on your newly installed garden. It’s then blown deep into the pile: it’s not noticeable, but it helps to weight the garden and provides many other benefits. It improves the garden’s drainage properties and aids in regulating temperature. Your grass will last longer and avoid unnecessary wear and tear.
