Turf and Fake Grass Installer in Hazlemere

We lay new lawns and fake grass in Hazlemere, from Cedar Park and Manor Farm to Holmer Green, Widmer End, Cryers Hill and Tylers Green.

Hazlemere’s soil is slightly acidic and slow to drain. New turf needs the ground dug over and levelled first, and fake grass needs a free-draining base so water does not sit on the clay.

Grass struggles in deep shade under the big trees that give the village its wooded feel. Astroturf can be the better choice for that corner.

For an open garden, new turf laid on well-prepared ground gives a lawn to enjoy all summer.

Hazlemere has no conservation area of its own. Its neighbourhood plan asks that new work does not add to water run-off, and it values the green corridors running through the village’s back gardens.

Real or fake

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.

  • Newly laid striped lawn edged by a resin-bound path, with young hedging, a summer house and a deck at the end of the garden

    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.

  • Fake grass lawn between a grey porcelain patio and grey painted fencing with white concrete posts

    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.

FAQ

Lawn and Fake Grass Questions from Hazlemere

Does Hazlemere’s clay affect a new lawn?

Clay-with-flints drains slowly, so we break up and improve the soil before laying turf, and give fake grass a deep, free-draining base, so neither sits wet.

Will turf grow under the trees in a Hazlemere garden?

Trees give Hazlemere its wooded character, but grass struggles in deep shade and dry soil under a canopy. Fake grass is a good choice there, or shade-loving planting instead.

Do you lay lawns and fake grass in the villages around Hazlemere?

Yes. As well as Hazlemere itself, we cover Holmer Green, Tylers Green, Penn, Widmer End, Four Ashes, Terriers, Penn Street, Cryers Hill, Great Kingshill and Hughenden Valley, and the rest of the HP15 postcode area.

How long does it take to lay a new lawn or fake grass in Hazlemere?

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 Hazlemere?

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.
