Work out how the new lawn will be used
Trace the edge of the proposed surface before choosing its shape. A paved threshold, a curved planting bed and a narrow strip beside a fence each need to be shown. Tell us how people will move across the lawn and which objects or planting must stay. The quotation can then relate to a defined area.
Where the installation ends
Photograph low points after rain and explain whether they dry before the rest of the lawn. The scope begins with assessment of the ground, preparation and installation agreed for the site. A separate water problem needs its own assessment before work is agreed. Ask for distinct items if you want a paved border or changes outside the proposed lawn considered too.
Three steps for your enquiry
- Show the present surface and outline the area
- Review edge junctions, access and wet spots
- Agree the preparation and fitting scope
Ground and surface water
Show any places where water pools and any hard surface directing water towards the proposed lawn. The GOV.UK guidance on permeable front gardens explains the difference between water soaking through a permeable surface and running off a hard surface. Its planning guidance concerns front gardens. We assess the garden and proposed installation before any drainage work is agreed.
