FAQs
Artificial Grass in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide artificial grass across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
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.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
