Lawns & Astroturf in Chesham
New turf and fake grass in Chesham, from a family-run team based in Hazlemere.
Turf and Fake Grass Installer in Chesham
We lay new lawns and fake grass in Chesham, from Newtown and Waterside to Pond Park, Chessmount, Hilltop and the villages of Ley Hill and Chartridge.
Long, narrow gardens behind terraced streets suit a lawn from the patio to the end. We lay new turf straight and level, with crisp edges along the borders.
If you would rather not mow, we lay new fake grass on a firm base that stays flat for years.
The River Chess rises in Lowndes Park, and both the old town and Chesham Bois are conservation areas.
Covering Chesham and the HP5 postcode area.

Choosing a New Lawn
Real turf and fake grass both start with the same thing: well-prepared ground. The difference is in the look, the feel and how much time you want to spend looking after it.
-
Lawn (real grass)
New turf gives you a real, living lawn from day one: soft underfoot, cool in summer and good for wildlife. We prepare and level the ground, add topsoil where it is needed and lay the turf tight, so a high-quality lawn roots in within a few weeks.
-
AstroTurf (fake grass)
High-quality fake grass stays green all year with no mowing, watering or muddy patches. Laid on a compacted, free-draining base with hidden joins, it suits shady corners, play areas and gardens used by dogs.

Lawn and Fake Grass Questions from Chesham
Can you lay a lawn on a steep Chesham garden?
Yes. Chesham climbs the Chess valley, so we often build terraces first, giving you level lawns linked by steps.
Does the clay on Chesham’s hilltops affect a lawn?
Clay holds water, so on the hilltops we improve the soil and drainage before laying turf, and fake grass needs a deep, free-draining base.
Do you lay lawns and fake grass in the villages around Chesham?
Yes. As well as Chesham itself, we cover Newtown, Chessmount, Hilltop, Great Hivings, Pond Park, Botley, Lye Green, Waterside, Townsend and Asheridge Vale, and the rest of the HP5 postcode area.
How long does it take to lay a new lawn or fake grass in Chesham?
It depends on the size of the lawn and how much ground preparation it needs. Once we have measured up, your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site before we start.
Should I choose real turf or fake grass?
Real turf is soft, cool and natural, and good for wildlife, but it needs mowing and watering. New astroturf stays green all year with almost no upkeep, and suits shade, play areas and dogs. Compare them above.
How much does fake grass cost in Chesham?
The fake grass price depends on the area, the quality of the grass and how much ground preparation is needed. Any astroturf price should include the base, which is what keeps it flat and free-draining, and our astroturf cost always does. We need to see the garden before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
How much does a new lawn cost?
It depends on the size of the lawn and the state of the ground. Clearing, levelling and new topsoil all add to the work, so we price each lawn after seeing it, with a free quote.
When is the best time to lay new turf?
Spring and autumn are best, when the ground is warm and moist. Turf can go down for much of the year, but not on frozen ground or in a summer drought. Fake grass can be laid at almost any time.
How do I look after new turf?
Water it every day for the first couple of weeks unless it rains, keep off it while it roots, and give it a first light cut once it has taken hold. We talk you through it when the lawn is laid.
