Less mud and mowing
Artificial grass creates a usable lawn surface with far less routine upkeep to manage.
Drainage checked early
We assess the ground and base build-up so water can move through the area properly.
Edges kept neat
Accurate cutting, jointing and fixing help the lawn sit cleanly against nearby features.
A tidy lawn without the churn, patchiness and constant cutting
Artificial grass appeals when you want the look of a lawn but not the soggy patches, worn routes and regular mowing that come with some gardens. It can be a smart choice where children, pets or regular foot traffic quickly turn natural grass into mud, especially in spaces that need to stay usable through the year. With Next Level Paving, artificial grass installation starts with the ground conditions and how the area will be used, because the finish only feels right when drainage, edge details and the build-up below are all suited to the site. In Colchester, we help you think through traffic levels, pile appearance, pet use and the way the lawn should meet paths, borders or patios before the product is chosen.
The neat finish comes from the base below it
A convincing artificial lawn is built, not simply rolled out. We remove the existing surface, excavate where needed, construct and compact the base, fit a weed-control layer and then cut, join and secure the grass accurately. Choose Next Level Paving when you want those preparation stages handled properly, because dips, poor drainage and loose edges soon spoil the effect of even a decent product. Finishing work matters too, so we check the levels and drainage across the area, fix the edges, add infill where appropriate and brush the pile so the lawn looks settled rather than flattened and rushed.
Frequently asked questions
Is artificial grass a good choice for busy gardens?
It can be, especially where regular foot traffic, children or pets leave natural grass thin, muddy or worn. The key is building the base correctly and choosing a product suited to the way the lawn will be used, so the finished area stays comfortable and practical.
What preparation is needed before artificial grass is laid?
We remove the existing surface, carry out any required excavation, build and compact the base, fit a weed-control layer and then cut and joint the grass accurately. That preparation is what helps the finished lawn sit level, drain properly and stay secure at the edges.
Will artificial grass still need any maintenance?
It is lower maintenance than a natural lawn, but not completely maintenance free. It may still need brushing, clearing and general care to keep it looking tidy. Good drainage, proper jointing and neat edge fixing also help reduce the sort of problems that lead to more upkeep later.
