FAQs
Artificial Grass in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide artificial grass across all of Dorking?
Yes, we cover the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas in full, including Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth.
How long does artificial grass last?
Good-quality artificial grass, properly installed on a well-prepared base, typically lasts in the region of 10 to 15 years before the pile noticeably flattens or fades, though this depends on footfall, sun exposure and the product specification.
Does artificial grass need any maintenance?
It needs far less than a natural lawn — no mowing, feeding or watering — but an occasional brush to lift the pile and a rinse to clear debris and pet waste keeps it looking and draining well.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
