Lawns

Artificial grass installation: why bases, joins and edges matter

A neat artificial lawn depends on preparation and detailing as well as the visible grass. Before agreeing a Glasgow installation, ask how the base, joins and edges will be handled. These details are difficult to compare from a sample, yet they influence how the lawn meets the rest of the garden.

Describe the existing surface

Explain whether the area is old turf, bare ground or a previous artificial lawn. Mention soft patches and changes in level. Ask what will be lifted or cleared and how the base will be prepared. A proposal to replace the top surface alone may not cover the same work as a complete reconstruction.

Agree the lawn shape early

A simple rectangle and a lawn with narrow corners or curves create different detailing requirements. Mark trees, planting and access covers that will remain. Ask how joins and any changes in direction will be managed for the chosen product. This is more useful than judging installation quality only from a close-up of the pile.

Coordinate surrounding paving

The grass should meet paths and patios deliberately. Discuss the edge position and how the finished levels relate to adjacent surfaces. If new paving is planned, agree the combined layout before either finish is installed. Otherwise a later path project may disturb an edge that has just been completed.

Review preparation in the quotation

Ask MGL to distinguish clearance, ground preparation, edging and grass supply in the project scope. Check what maintenance advice is included for the selected product. Avoid treating artificial grass as a blanket solution for every uneven area; levelling and drainage may need attention before the lawn finish is agreed.
