Key checks for artificial grass
- Measure the area and identify awkward shapes or cuts.
- Compare pile, backing and suitability for the intended use.
- Confirm excavation depth, base work and waste removal in the specification.
What changes the artificial grass scope?
Give the provider details about area, grass quality, excavation, drainage, edging. Ask which of these apply to your requirement and whether they are included in the proposed service.

- Grass quality
- Excavation
- Drainage
- Edging
