Turf and Fake Grass Installer Across Buckinghamshire

FirstScapes is a family-run landscaping company. We lay new lawns and fake grass across Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns, from a small back garden to a large family lawn.

A high-quality lawn starts underneath. We clear and level the ground, improve the soil where it needs it and lay new turf tight and even, so it roots quickly and stays flat.

As an astroturf installer, we lay new fake grass on a compacted, free-draining base, with the joins hidden and the edges fixed firm, so high quality astroturf looks natural and drains well.

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 Buckinghamshire

Which towns do you cover for lawns and fake grass?

We lay lawns and fake grass in High Wycombe, Beaconsfield, Amersham, Marlow, Chesham, Hazlemere, Great Missenden, Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Peter and Chalfont St Giles, and the villages in between. Pick your town below for local advice.

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

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 Buckinghamshire?

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.
