​

What Affects the Price?

Several factors influence the final cost of your artificial lawn:

​​

• Grass Quality
   

  • Premium-grade turf looks more realistic, feels softer underfoot, and lasts longer—especially beneficial for children or pets.
     

• Area Size
   

  • Larger spaces may bring down the cost per square metre due to bulk material savings, whereas very small jobs may have a slightly higher rate.
     

• Ground Preparation
   

  • Proper preparation includes removing the existing surface, applying a weed-proof membrane, compacting a sub-base layer, and adding sharp sand for levelling.
     

• Labour and Access
   

  • If your garden is hard to access or requires specialist machinery, labour costs may increase slightly.
     

• Edging and Drainage
   

  • Extra features like drainage channels or decorative edging will also impact the final cost, but they can greatly improve the lifespan and finish of your lawn.

DIY vs Professional Installation

​

Some homeowners consider laying artificial grass themselves to save on labour. While this may sound appealing, it’s not always the best long-term option.

​

DIY Installation:

​

• Pros: Potential cost savings on labour
   

• Cons: Risk of uneven surfaces, poor drainage, and reduced lifespan
   

Professional Installation:

​

• Pros: Expert finish, proper drainage, long-lasting results
   

• Cons: Slightly higher initial investment
   

Professionals like StoneMac ensure every stage—from excavation to laying and finishing—is done to the highest standards, providing peace of mind and a flawless lawn.
