Moore & Son install artificial grass across Romsey and the villages of the Test Valley, covering the SO51 postcode and surrounding areas including Ampfield, Braishfield, North Baddesley, Timsbury, and Awbridge. Whether you live in the historic town centre, on one of Romsey's newer residential estates to the east or north, or in a rural property on the edge of the Test Valley landscape, we can survey the site and recommend the right product and installation approach for your garden.
Romsey's varied housing stock presents a wide range of garden challenges. Town-centre properties — many Victorian or Edwardian in character — often have long, narrow rear gardens with significant shading from brick boundary walls and mature trees, conditions under which real grass rarely performs well. On the larger post-war and modern estates built across the outskirts of Romsey, compacted made-up ground and clay-heavy topsoil cause poor drainage and persistent muddy patches through the autumn and winter months. Artificial grass addresses both problems cleanly and permanently, providing a green, level, and fully usable surface in all weathers and all light conditions.
Our installation process begins with a thorough site assessment. We check the existing surface, assess drainage, and take accurate measurements before specifying the sub-base depth and aggregate type appropriate to your ground conditions. Excavation typically goes to 75–100mm, all organic material is removed, and a compacted MOT Type 1 limestone aggregate base is laid and levelled. A geotextile weed membrane is then installed before the artificial grass is rolled out, cut, jointed on larger areas, and fixed at every edge using timber banding or adhesive on hard surfaces. Kiln-dried sand is brushed in to weight the fibres and give the surface a natural, upright appearance. The finished lawn requires no mowing, watering, or feeding, and carries a manufacturer lifespan of 15 to 20 years.
When assessing an artificial grass installation, the most reliable quality indicator is the sub-base. A well-prepared base will feel firm underfoot with no soft spots or unevenness, and the surface will drain freely after rain rather than pooling or sitting damp. Edges should be tight and invisible, with no lifting at corners or joins. Ask any contractor what aggregate depth they are using and whether they are removing all existing topsoil — cutting corners here is the most common cause of premature failure. Moore & Son are happy to walk you through every stage of the process on your free site visit so you understand exactly what you are getting.
