As Good As Grass supplies and installs artificial grass across Manchester and Greater Manchester. From our base in Tottington, Bury, we help homeowners, schools and businesses choose a suitable surface and plan the groundwork beneath it.
Our artificial grass installation service starts with access, existing ground conditions, levels, edging and drainage. Whether you want a family lawn, a dog-friendly garden or a surface for a busy school or commercial space, we assess how it will be used before recommending the turf and installation.
We also offer supply-only turf and temporary grass hire for events. See our Sale installation example and guide prices below.
Sale, Greater Manchester
This Sale garden combined a new Lush artificial lawn with a circular paved seating feature. With no rear access, the team planned the movement of materials through the house.
The work included removing the old lawn, preparing the base and fitting the new surface around the hard landscaping. It shows why access and the finished layout belong in the conversation from the start.
The visible lawn is only part of the job. We look at what is happening underneath it and how the new surface will meet paths, patios, borders and thresholds.
Your quote should identify the proposed work and any site-specific requirements. Read more about our artificial grass installation service or the ground preparation process.
Artificial grass can make a busy family or pet garden easier to manage, but it still needs care. Choose a suitable turf and drainage build-up, remove waste promptly, and keep the surface clear and clean.
We can discuss dog-friendly installation as well as cleaning, maintenance and repairs for an existing lawn. Returning smells or persistent puddles need investigation, rather than simply covering the problem.
For routine care between visits, use our year-round maintenance checklist.
A narrow side passage, a shaded corner or an old patio can change the installation approach. Tell us about the practical constraints as well as the lawn size.
Artificial grass does not correct a drainage problem by itself. We will explain the preparation needed for your particular space before recommending the finish.
These are guide prices. Your final quotation depends on the turf, lawn size, access, groundwork and drainage requirements.
Full installation: £45–£85 + VAT per m² (£54–£102 including 20% VAT). The advertised package includes groundwork, premium turf, fitting and a 10-year warranty. Your quote confirms the specification, inclusions and warranty terms.
Supply-only turf: from £12.50 per m². Choose from our artificial grass range. Check the product total, VAT treatment, delivery, cutting allowance and any minimum order before buying.
Event hire: from £7 per m² per day. Rental grass with pad for temporary events. Ask for a complete hire quote confirming VAT, delivery, installation, collection and any minimum charges.
Example: a 40 m² lawn. Applying the installation range gives £1,800–£3,400 before VAT, or £2,160–£4,080 including 20% VAT. This is an illustrative budget, not a quotation for a particular garden.

Artificial grass suits many low-maintenance lawn projects, but it is not the best surface for every part of a garden. Compare upkeep, summer use, planting and drainage before deciding.
| Consideration | Artificial Grass | Natural Grass |
|---|---|---|
| Routine care | No mowing; needs brushing, cleaning and debris removal. | Mowing and seasonal lawn care. |
| Heavy everyday use | Avoids exposed lawn soil; select the right turf and base. | Can wear thin or become muddy in busy areas. |
| Summer use | Can get hot in direct sun; shade and surface checks matter. | Living grass generally stays cooler in sunshine. |
| Wildlife and planting | A synthetic surface; retain planting and habitat elsewhere. | A living surface that can support soil life and garden wildlife. |
| Drainage | Needs suitable groundwork and a drainage route. | Depends on the soil, levels and site conditions. |
A mixed layout often works well: an artificial lawn for everyday use, planting around the edges and suitable hardstanding for dining or cooking equipment. Our artificial grass vs paving guide explains that balance.
Tell us what you want the space to do. We can explain where an artificial lawn makes sense and what the installation would involve.
Pricing, access, drainage and care are worth discussing before choosing your turf. Find practical answers below, or contact our team for advice about your space.
Our advertised full installation range is £45–£85 + VAT per m², or £54–£102 including 20% VAT. It includes groundwork, premium turf, fitting and a 10-year warranty, subject to the quoted specification and terms.

We work across Manchester and Greater Manchester from our base in Tottington, Bury. Areas covered include Manchester city centre, Didsbury, Chorlton, Ancoats, Withington, Fallowfield, Salford, Trafford and surrounding towns. Send your postcode so we can discuss the site and access.
See our nearby Bury, Stockport and Bolton pages for further coverage information.
It can work well when the base and drainage are designed for the site. The turf alone will not solve standing water or slow-draining ground. We assess the existing conditions, levels and route for water before recommending the installation.
We offer ranges intended for family and pet use, with the product and installation selected around the activities in the garden. The surface still needs cleaning and can become hot in direct sunlight. Where play equipment needs fall protection, an appropriately specified and tested safety-surfacing system is a separate requirement.
Yes — we provide artificial grass maintenance across Manchester for both our own installations and third-party turf. Our service lifts flattened fibres, removes moss, clears debris, and restores your lawn’s fresh, just-installed look.

Service life varies with the product, use, installation and maintenance. Ask which turf is proposed, how it should be cared for and what its warranty covers. A warranty period is not a promise that every lawn will have the same lifespan or need no maintenance.
Our advertised full installation package includes a 10-year warranty. Your written quote and handover information should confirm the scope, exclusions, care requirements and any separate terms that apply to the work. Ask us to clarify these before booking.
Yes. We can discuss a suitable turf and drainage build-up for a dog garden, together with a practical cleaning routine. No lawn should be treated as chew-proof or maintenance-free, and persistent odours can require attention to the infill, base or drainage as well as surface cleaning.
Yes. We supply and install artificial grass for school and nursery settings. The specification should reflect the activities, equipment and relevant performance requirements. Where fall protection is needed, the complete proposed surfacing system must be supported by appropriate test evidence.
Absolutely. We install high-performance sports turf for football pitches, MUGAs, and training grounds in Manchester. Our surfaces are designed for consistent ball roll, weather resistance, and long-term durability under heavy use.
Yes. Our supply-only grass range has listed starting prices from £12.50 per m². Check the current product total, VAT treatment, delivery, roll dimensions and cutting allowance before ordering.
Ask for current availability when requesting a quote. Installation time depends on the area, access and preparation required. The Sale project featured above was completed in two days, but that is a project example rather than a promise for every garden.
