Artificial grass installation in Sittingbourne.

Compare the lawn and the construction beneath it

Artificial grass can offer a consistently green surface with no mowing, but it still needs cleaning and appropriate preparation. Compare samples for texture, density and how the pile looks from different directions. The most expensive or longest pile is not automatically the most suitable choice.

Tell us whether the area is used by children, pets or frequent foot traffic. Drainage, edging, joins and routine cleaning should be considered as a complete system. Artificial grass does not provide the same habitat as a living lawn, so retaining planted areas or considering natural turf may be part of the decision.

Artificial grass installation in Sittingbourne: planning your layout

For a Sittingbourne property with a busy garden with repeated wear along daily routes, the first question is how the finished area will be used. Draw the grass area separately from routes to storage and seating. Check the cleaning access, edges and any pet use, and keep planting in the design rather than replacing every living surface.

Show the worn sections and tell us what crosses them: people, bikes, a mower or other equipment. The use of the area helps determine the specification. Include any temporary access you need while the work takes place.
