Case Study - Artificial Grass Outdoor Dining Area in Maidstone
Photo taken before the transformation
Photo taken after the transformation
Our objective for this project was to convert a wet, muddy outdoor space into a functional, all-year-round extension of the dining room. Due to poor drainage and constant water runoff from surrounding roofs, the area was previously unusable for much of the year.
To resolve this, we began by removing all existing grass and topsoil. We then installed a network of French drains to efficiently divert excess water away from the site and into the garden, ensuring long-term drainage performance.
With the ground prepared and drainage in place, we installed our Corvette grass – a durable, hardwearing synthetic turf designed to withstand high foot traffic and challenging outdoor conditions. The result is a clean, attractive, and usable dining space that customers can enjoy throughout all seasons.

Our Professional Installation Process
Every installation follows our proven 8-step process, refined over 15+ years to ensure perfect results that last for decades:
Step 1: Free Site Survey
We visit your property to assess the space, discuss your requirements, and provide an accurate quote. We'll examine existing ground conditions, drainage, access, and any specific challenges. This consultation is free and without obligation.
Step 2: Ground Preparation
We remove existing turf, weeds, and organic material. For properties with challenging soil (common in certain areas), we excavate to the appropriate depth to create a stable base. This foundation work is crucial for longevity.
Step 3: Drainage Installation
If your property has poor drainage or areas prone to standing water, we install proper drainage solutions. This might include French drains, soakaways, or enhanced drainage layers, depending on your specific situation.
Step 4: Weed Membrane Application
We lay a professional-grade weed membrane across the entire area. This prevents weed growth for years to come whilst still allowing water to drain freely through to the soil beneath.
Step 5: Base Layer Installation
We install Type 1 aggregate (MOT) to create a solid, level foundation. This crushed stone base is compacted with a vibrating plate compactor to achieve maximum stability and prevent the grass from moving or sinking over time.
Step 6: Sharp Sand Levelling
A layer of sharp sand is spread and meticulously levelled across the base. This creates the perfectly smooth surface needed for the grass installation. We use laser levels for large areas to ensure complete accuracy.
Step 7: Grass Installation & Securing
Your chosen artificial grass is carefully rolled out, cut to fit precisely, and secured around the perimeter using galvanised fixing pins. Seams are joined with professional joining tape and adhesive for invisible, non-separating joins.
Step 8: Infill Application & Finishing
We brush in silica sand infill to weight the grass, keep fibres upright, and enhance the natural appearance. Edges are trimmed perfectly, and we complete a thorough cleanup. Your lawn is ready for immediate use.
Installation Time: Most residential gardens are completed in one day. Larger or more complex projects may take 2-3 days. We'll give you an accurate timeframe during your site visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does artificial grass cost in Maidstone?
Costs vary depending on garden size, grass type, and ground conditions. Every property is different, which is why we provide free, no-obligation quotes after a visit to your property. We'll assess your specific situation and give an accurate price with no hidden costs. Contact us on 01233 812424 to arrange your free site visit.
How long does artificial grass last?
High-quality artificial grass typically lasts 25-30 years. All our grass comes with a 12-year product guarantee and a 1-year workmanship guarantee. Lifespan depends on factors like foot traffic, maintenance, and grass quality. Our premium AG Elite and AG Delight ranges are designed for maximum durability and will look great for decades.
Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?
Yes, completely safe. All our artificial grass products are non-toxic, flame-retardant, and don't harbour pests or require harmful chemicals. The AG City range features excellent drainage for pet areas, whilst AG Delight is particularly soft for young children. We ensure proper drainage during installation to prevent puddles and maintain hygiene.
What maintenance does artificial grass need?
Minimal maintenance required. Brush the grass occasionally to keep fibres upright, remove debris with a leaf blower or rake, and rinse with water if needed. For pet owners, we recommend hosing down areas occasionally and using pet-friendly disinfectant. There's no mowing, watering, fertilising, or re-seeding required—ever.
Can you install artificial grass on decking or concrete?
Yes, absolutely. Artificial grass can be successfully installed on decking, concrete, paving, and balconies. These installations require techniques different from those of soil-based gardens, including proper drainage and secure mounting methods. We've completed numerous installations on patios, roof terraces, and courtyard areas with hard surfaces throughout the area.
Does artificial grass get too hot in summer?
Artificial grass can warm up in direct sunlight during hot days, though Kent's moderate climate means this is rarely an issue. Our turf features heat-reflective technology to minimise heat retention. On very hot days, a quick spray with water cools the surface instantly. Lighter-coloured varieties and shaded areas stay cooler than darker options.
Will artificial grass work in shaded gardens?
Absolutely. In fact, artificial grass performs excellently in shaded areas where natural grass struggles to grow. Our AG Multi 13mm range is specifically designed for shaded and high-traffic areas. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf doesn't need sunlight to stay green and healthy, making it perfect for north-facing gardens or areas under trees.
Do you install artificial grass in winter?
Yes, we install year-round, including winter months. As long as the ground isn't frozen solid, installation can proceed normally. Winter installations often mean faster scheduling, and your garden is ready to enjoy as soon as spring arrives. Our installation process includes proper drainage to effectively handle Kent's winter rainfall.
Can artificial grass be installed on slopes?
Yes, artificial grass can be installed on slopes and banks. Sloped installations require additional securing methods, including extra fixing pins and specialised joining techniques to prevent movement. We've completed numerous installations on terraced gardens and sloping lawns. Proper installation ensures the grass remains stable and secure even on steep gradients.
How does the drainage work?
All our artificial grass features excellent drainage with a perforated backing, allowing water to drain freely through the turf. During installation, we prepare a proper drainage base using Type 1 aggregate and sharp sand. This ensures rapid drainage even during heavy rainfall. Our AG City range offers speedy drainage, ideal for areas prone to standing water or poor natural drainage.
What's the difference between cheap and premium artificial grass?
Premium artificial grass, like our AG Elite and AG Delight ranges, features higher stitch density, better-quality fibres, a more realistic appearance, and longer guarantees (12 years vs 3-5 years). Budget grass often flattens quickly, fades within 2-3 years, and has poor drainage. Premium grass maintains its appearance for 25-30 years, stays soft underfoot, and provides better return on investment. The difference in quality is immediately noticeable.
How long does installation take?
Most residential garden installations are completed in a single day. Larger properties or more complex projects (slopes, drainage issues, decking installations) may take 2-3 days. During your free site visit, we'll provide an accurate timeframe for your specific project. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your daily routine.
