Artificial grass installation in Ludlow, where period properties and gardens of very different sizes call for careful measuring, tidy edging and honest advice before work begins.
Ludlow is a historic Shropshire market town with a castle, many period properties and gardens that vary from tiny courtyards to generous lawns. No two plots are quite the same, so we do not treat an artificial lawn here as a standard package.
We start by looking at how the garden is used, what is under the grass and how materials will get in. From there we can explain the options plainly. A free quotation follows, and there is no pressure to go ahead if it turns out not to suit.
A good result rests on the unseen layers. The old turf is lifted, a membrane laid, and compacted stone built up in stages, topped with a fine levelling layer. In period gardens, we pay attention to how deep we dig close to old walls and foundations, keeping excavations controlled. Edging is where the quality shows: we trim the grass to follow curves and fix it to a firm edge, so there are no gaps along old brick or stone boundaries. Irregular shapes are normal here and just need patient cutting.
Think about who will be on the lawn and how often. A family garden with a dog needs resilient fibres and a base that drains quickly, so muddy patches never form. A courtyard for sitting and a few pots can use a softer, more decorative pile. Children's play areas may deserve a thicker lawn and a firm, level base for goals or swings. We are happy to talk through the choices and show samples, so the surface suits real life instead of just looking good on day one.
Sloping and terraced gardens are common in the area, so we plan the fall of the base to carry water clear of buildings. Rain passes through the backing into the stone below, and where the soil drains badly we suggest extra measures before laying. Afterwards, the routine is a regular brush, removing leaves and rinsing off pollen or pet mess. Shady gardens may need a gentle moss treatment. Looked after reasonably, the surface keeps its shape and colour without any mowing, feeding or reseeding.
We work in Ludlow and cover nearby places such as Tenbury Wells and Leominster. In the town centre, narrow lanes and limited parking make deliveries and skip positions worth planning, and some gardens can only be reached through the house. We explain how we would handle that in the quotation so there are no surprises. If your home is old or sits in a sensitive part of town, mention it when you call, and we will talk through colour, finish and layout before anything is ordered.
We also take on artificial grass installers work in nearby Tenbury Wells, Leominster.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Yes. It is cut to follow curves and corners. Irregular shapes take more time and some extra material, but a neat result is perfectly achievable.
Most domestic gardens do not, but listed buildings or protected settings can be different. If you are unsure, check with the relevant authority before work starts.
Choose a free-draining base and a pet-suitable turf, pick up solids promptly and rinse the area with water regularly. Occasional pet-safe cleaners can also help.
