Artificial lawn installation across Tenbury Wells and the Teme valley, for family gardens that need a green, tidy surface through wet winters without constant mowing.
Tenbury Wells sits low in the Teme valley, right on the border between Worcestershire and Shropshire, and the weather here can leave lawns waterlogged for weeks. Anyone who has tried to mow wet grass in February will understand why people look at synthetic alternatives.
We install artificial grass for gardens in and around Tenbury, from compact back lawns to wider rural plots. The aim is a lawn that looks natural, drains properly, and does not turn into a muddy patch when the ground is saturated. A little honest advice beforehand saves disappointment later.
A flat, firm base is the difference between a lawn that lasts and one that ripples. After the turf is stripped, we check for soft spots and old tree roots, then spread and compact a graded stone sub-base. Where clay sits close to the surface, which is common in valley ground, a thicker layer may be needed. A permeable membrane stops weeds pushing up, and a fine bedding layer gives a smooth finish for the grass itself. Edging holds everything in place, so we fix timber, concrete or plastic edging firmly against paths, beds and fences. Do not skimp on this stage, because everything above relies on it.
Think about who actually uses the garden. A farmhouse-style family garden with dogs, bikes and a football behaves very differently from a quiet patio lawn. Heavy use calls for a harder-wearing pile with a strong backing, while a play area may need a softer feel and some cushioning beneath. Pet-friendly and dog-friendly artificial grass should drain freely and be easy to rinse. We tell customers plainly that no synthetic lawn removes the need for cleaning up after pets, but it does stop the mud being tracked indoors.
Rain falls straight through quality artificial grass, but the water then has to go somewhere. In low-lying Tenbury gardens, we look at the natural fall, the stone depth and whether a drain run or soakaway is worth adding. Once the lawn is down, care is simple: remove leaves and debris, brush the pile now and then so the blades stand, and rinse any spills. Keep an eye out for moss on shaded edges and treat it early. The work is far lighter than mowing, feeding and re-seeding a real lawn that never dries out.
Our teams cover Tenbury Wells and nearby places such as Ludlow, Leominster, Bromyard and Bewdley. Because Tenbury straddles the county line, we regularly look at gardens on both sides, and no job is too small to be worth a visit. The valley setting means ground conditions can change quickly from one street to the next, so we like to see your garden before we quote. Bring up anything unusual, such as a steep corner, an old orchard tree or a boggy patch, and we will explain how it affects the work.
We also take on artificial grass installers work in nearby Ludlow, Leominster, Bromyard, Bewdley.

“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”
It can, provided the problem is fixed underneath first. We look at why the ground stays wet, then build a free-draining base and outlets if needed. Laying turf over a wet base would only hide the problem.
It depends on the size of the garden, access and the ground, but a typical domestic lawn is often completed in a few days. Bad weather can slow groundwork, so we give a realistic idea after seeing the plot.
Yes. Removing and disposing of old turf, soil and any roots is part of the groundwork. We will agree beforehand where waste goes and how it leaves the site.
