A flawless fake lawn depends entirely on correct installation. At Pristine Homes, we follow a rigorous, industry-standard process to ensure your synthetic grass looks stunning and lasts for years:
1.Initial Site Assessment & Consultation
We visit your property to measure your space, discuss your design preferences, evaluate existing drainage, and help you choose the ideal pile height, density, and shade of artificial turf.
2.Old Turf & Soil Excavation
We carefully excavate the existing lawn, soil, or hard surfaces to the correct depth, ensuring a stable foundation.
3.Sub-Base Installation & Compacting
We lay a robust, high-quality sub-base aggregate (such as MOT Type 1) and mechanically compact it to create a strong, level, and stable sub-surface.
4.Geotextile Weed Membrane
A heavy-duty weed suppressant membrane is installed to prevent weeds from pushing through your new synthetic lawn while maintaining proper drainage.
5.Knee-Binding & Levelling Layer
We add a fine screed layer (such as granite dust or sharp sand), screed it flat, and compact it to achieve a smooth, perfectly even surface.
6.Precision Artificial Turf Fitting
Your chosen premium artificial grass is rolled out, carefully cut to fit every contour of your garden, seamlessly joined, and securely fixed around the perimeter.
7.Kiln-Dried Sand Dressing & Power Brushing
We finish by brushing kiln-dried sand into the fibres. This weights the turf down, keeps the blades standing upright, and protects the backing, leaving you with a immaculate, natural-looking lawn.
High-quality synthetic turf installed by professionals typically lasts between 12 to 20 years, depending on foot traffic and basic upkeep.
With our multi-layer installation process which includes a professional weed membrane means weed growth is heavily restricted. Any occasional airborne seeds landing on top can be easily brushed or weeded away.
Artificial grass should not normally be laid directly over existing grass. The natural lawn and unsuitable material generally need to be removed, followed by appropriate ground and base preparation to create a stable surface.
Installation time depends on the size and shape of the garden, access, the condition of the existing ground and the amount of preparation required. Smaller projects may be completed relatively quickly, while more complex gardens can take longer.
Artificial grass installation can have a higher initial cost than laying natural turf, particularly when extensive ground preparation is needed. However, artificial grass requires less routine maintenance, as it does not need mowing, feeding or regular lawn treatments.
We offer returfing installation across a wide range of areas in the south east of England. Please get in touch to confirm availability in your location.
Yes, our high-grade synthetic lawns are fully porous. The turf backing is engineered with small drainage holes that allow rainwater to filter through to the aggregate sub-base at a rate of roughly 50–60 litres per minute per square metre. This eliminates standing water, puddles, and boggy lawn patches even during heavy downpours.
No. All our premium artificial turf ranges are UV-stabilised to resist harsh sunlight and prevent discolouration or fading over time. Your lawn will maintain its vibrant, natural green look throughout its entire lifespan.
