Turf & Artificial Grass FAQs in Macclesfield
Neither is automatically better. Real turf gives you the natural appearance, feel and environmental benefits of living grass, while artificial grass offers lower maintenance and a consistently neat appearance. The right option depends on how you use your garden and how much maintenance you want.
Real turf installation typically starts around £25–£35/m² for straightforward projects, while professionally installed artificial grass generally starts around £60/m² and can reach £100/m² or more for premium or pet-specific installations.
We remove unsuitable existing vegetation, establish the correct levels, improve or replace poor soil where necessary and prepare a firm but workable surface before turf is laid. Proper soil preparation is essential for root development and drainage.
A professional artificial lawn normally requires excavation followed by an appropriate compacted aggregate base, laying layer, membrane where suitable, edging and secure installation of the grass. The exact construction depends on the ground conditions and intended use.
A hard-wearing family turf containing a high proportion of perennial ryegrass is generally the best real-grass option for busy gardens because it tolerates wear and recovers relatively quickly.
Yes, provided the garden receives enough light. Shade-tolerant turf containing higher proportions of fescue can perform better than standard turf in partially shaded areas. Very deep shade can still make maintaining a healthy real lawn difficult.
Yes. Artificial grass can work extremely well in pet gardens when the correct grass, drainage and base specification are used. Pet installations may also benefit from specialist infills and regular cleaning to help manage odours.
Yes. Water needs to pass through the grass and underlying construction rather than collecting beneath it. We assess the existing garden and build the base accordingly, with additional drainage measures where site conditions require them.
New turf needs time to establish roots into the prepared soil. During the first few weeks it should be watered consistently and heavy foot traffic should be avoided until the turf has rooted properly.
The lifespan depends on the quality of the product, amount of use, installation and ongoing care. Higher-quality artificial lawns installed onto a properly constructed base generally offer considerably better long-term performance than cheaper grass laid with minimal preparation.
