Artificial grass in Sheffield
Artificial grass makes a lot of sense in Sheffield: shady terraced gardens, clay that floods every winter, and families who want a lawn the kids can use straight after it rains. It also means no mowing, which matters if you are arranging a garden for an elderly parent.

Choosing the grass
- Mixed green tones with a little brown thatch look most realistic.
- Dense mid-length pile for busy family gardens.
- Good backing drainage for dogs.
- Heat-resistant fibres, or a gravel strip, beside pale porcelain.
On slopes and clay
Artificial grass can follow a gentle slope, though very steep ground is best terraced first. On heavy clay the stone base drains far better than soil, and we can deepen it or add a drain where water needs somewhere to go.
