Why homeowners in Shropshire choose artificial grass
A real lawn is hard work — mowing, feeding, patching, and mud from October to April. Synthetic turf gives you the manicured look without the upkeep.
Zero mowing, all year
Reclaim your weekends. No mower, no strimmer, no bagged cuttings — just a lawn that always looks like you cut it yesterday.
Green through winter
Shropshire winters turn real lawns into mud. Artificial grass stays lush, level and usable — perfect for muddy paws and school shoes.
Pet & child friendly
Non-toxic, lead-free, and soft underfoot. Fully permeable backing means urine drains straight through — hose it down and it's done.
SUDS-compliant drainage
Permeable sub-base, permeable turf. Rainwater soaks away naturally instead of running off onto the pavement — the right build for modern front gardens.
Ideal for small or shady gardens
Where real grass struggles — under trees, north-facing gardens, tight side returns — synthetic turf just works.
Low-maintenance luxury
The look of a manicured lawn without the weekend upkeep. A quick brush every few weeks keeps the pile standing tall.
How we install a lawn that lasts
The pile gets the photo. The sub-base decides whether it's still flat, draining, and weed-free in ten years.

Artificial grass questions, answered
How much does artificial grass cost to install in Shrewsbury?
Most domestic installs land between £70 and £110 per square metre supplied and fitted, depending on turf specification, access, and how much prep is needed. That's a full build-up — dig-out, weed membrane, compacted sub-base, edging and premium synthetic turf. We give a fixed written quote after a free site visit.
Is artificial grass safe for pets and children?
Yes. We fit non-toxic, lead-free turf with a soft, dense pile and a permeable backing so urine drains straight through into the sub-base. It's a favourite with dog owners in Shropshire because there's no mud, no digging and no bare patches — a quick hose-down keeps it fresh.
Does artificial grass drain properly? Is it SUDS-compliant?
Built the right way, yes. We lay a permeable Type 1 / Type 3 sub-base to fall, use fully permeable turf with drainage holes, and finish with kiln-dried silica sand infill. Water drains through the surface into the sub-base and away — no puddles, and it meets SUDS drainage principles for residential front gardens.
How long does artificial grass last?
Premium synthetic turf, installed on a properly compacted sub-base with edging that holds the perimeter, typically lasts 15–20 years with almost no maintenance. A quick brush now and again keeps the pile standing tall.
Do you install artificial grass on top of concrete or paving?
Yes — as long as the surface drains and is level, we can fit turf directly onto concrete, paving or a tarmac base using a shockpad underlay. Ideal for balconies, courtyards and small front gardens.
