Artificial Grass in KT10
Artificial grass installation in Esher, Surrey
Laid on a free-draining sub-base with a fixed hard edge, so it stays flat and it stays put.
9.86/10Artificial grass for Esher gardens
KT10 is a mix of period houses and later twentieth century detached stock, with noticeably larger plots on the roads off the High Street and around Esher Green. Those bigger gardens are where the full transformations happen: levels to resolve, a terrace big enough to be a room, and enough depth for real planting.
Esher is a short run from our yard in Thames Ditton and it is the town we work in most after our own. Deliveries get staged rather than dumped, which matters on roads where a lorry cannot sit for long.
The build
How we build it, Esher or anywhere else
The base does the work: turf and topsoil out, membrane, compacted sub-base, a screeded levelling layer to a fall, then a fixed edge for the grass to be tensioned against.
Roll direction is planned before we cut anything, so joins land where you are not looking at them from the back door.
- Turf and topsoil stripped out and carted away
- Membrane and compacted free draining sub-base
- Levelling layer screeded to a fall
- Fixed edging to the full perimeter
- Grass tensioned, joins glued and hidden
- Sand infill and a power brush finish

On the ground
Working in Esher
How we get materials in
The larger plots around Esher Green often have side or rear access that lets a machine work on site, which speeds up the groundworks stage. The older village properties nearer the High Street need a barrow route or, occasionally, a crane over the back where there is no side access.
Permits and deliveries
Elmbridge Borough Council skip permits are sorted before work starts, especially on the busier stretches near the High Street where parking pressure decides the best approach.

FAQs
Artificial grass questions we get asked
How long does artificial grass take to install?
One to three days for most gardens. The digging out and the sub-base take the time; laying the grass itself is usually half a day.
Do I need planning permission?
No, replacing a rear lawn does not need consent. In a front garden, keep the surface permeable, which ours is, and it stays within permitted development.
Which grade should I choose?
Medium pile with a mixed yarn suits most family gardens. Go short pile for small formal spaces, and pet grade if you have a dog, because the permeable backing is what stops odour.
What happens to the existing lawn?
It is stripped and carted away with the topsoil we need to remove to make room for the sub-base. Nothing is laid over an existing lawn.
How much does artificial grass cost?
Typically £2,500 to £7,000 installed, depending on area, grade and access. Every price is fixed in writing after a site visit.
Does it drain, and how do you clean it?
It drains through a permeable backing into the sub-base, faster than the clay lawn underneath it. Cleaning is a rinse and a brush; dog areas benefit from an occasional wash with a pet safe cleaner.
