A premium artificial lawn is only as good as the foundations beneath it. Our background in groundworks and civil engineering means every lawn is built correctly from the ground up.

Our 6-Step Method
Engineered fromthe ground up.
01
01Step 01
Site Preparation & Oversite Reduce Dig
Careful removal of existing grass and root material. Oversite reduce dig to suit project requirements — 50mm is typical, up to 150mm where enhanced drainage is needed.

Engineered Free-Draining Foundation
If drainage issues are identified during our site survey, a 100mm compacted Type 3 aggregate formation layer is installed — this is free-draining material that forms a structural foundation where groundwater needs additional management to our standard install's granite sub-base.

A great lawn doesn't start with the grass —it starts with the groundwork beneath it.
