Artificial grass installation
A lawn that turns to mud after rain, goes bare in the shade or needs mowing every week is hard work. Artificial grass fixes that, but only if the ground under it is right.
So we start underneath. Washington’s team digs out the old grass, builds a level base with drainage, fits the edging and then lays, cuts and joins your grass. On soil, drainage is listed as part of the installation for most of our grasses.
Supplied and installed from R280 per m² (20mm Fairway Fern), drainage on soil included. Installation and drainage on its own is R130 per m².

What’s included
This is how we list it: artificial grass installation with drainage, priced per square metre.
The grass itself is the one you choose: every grass in our range has a supply price and a supply and install price, and for most grasses the install price lists drainage on soil as included. Have pets? Petscape pet-friendly grass goes onto a more porous sub-base so urine passes through and away from the surface.
Not part of this job, and on their own pages: putting greens, paving around the lawn (see paving in Cape Town), and cleaning or repairing a lawn you already have (see maintenance and cleaning).
Your options
Most people have us supply and lay the grass in one quote. If you already have grass, the installation and the cutting are listed on their own too.
| Option | What you get | Listed price |
|---|---|---|
| Supply and install | The grass you choose, laid by our team, drainage on soil included for most grasses | R280 to R420 per m², by grass |

How we install it
Six steps, from your first message to grass you can walk on.
Send the form, call or WhatsApp us. Washington or the team comes out to look at the job, then sends a quote for your space.
The old lawn comes out so the new base starts on clean ground.
Budim and crusher dust go down for drainage, then the area is levelled and compacted. Ask about our moles treatment (chicken mesh wire) if moles are a problem.
Concrete edging is part of our installation and drainage work. Want a neat border against a bed or path? Ask for cobble edging.
The grass is laid, then cut and pasted to fit, with glue.
Grass warranties run 3, 8 or 10 years, by product.
