Artificial grass: what the job involves
Replacing a lawn with artificial turf: digging out the old grass, building a compacted, free-draining base, and laying, joining and pinning the turf. It needs no mowing, but how flat and dry it stays depends almost entirely on the base underneath.
How long it takes: Two to four days for a typical back garden; hand-barrowing everything through the house or poor drainage adds time.
