Cheap artificial grass fails because of what is under it. We dig out the old lawn, lay a compacted, free-draining base and fix the joins so you never see them.
We lift the old turf, lay crushed stone and a fine dust layer, then compact it flat.
A permeable base and backing, so rain drains through and it hoses clean.
Curved lawns, borders and stepping stone paths, cut in on site.
Seams glued on jointing tape and edges pinned to timber or composite edging.
Better grasses mix several blade colours and have a brown thatch at the base. That is what stops them looking like a carpet. We help you choose one that suits how you use the garden, whether that is children, dogs or just sitting out.
We cut artificial grass to any shape, so a curved lawn or a stepping stone path is no harder than a rectangle.
Artificial grass earns its keep where real grass struggles: small courtyards, shady corners under trees and lawns that turn to mud every winter. It stays green and usable all year with a brush and the odd rinse.
We use a shorter, denser grass where the lawn gets the most wear, such as the route to the shed or a play corner, and a softer pile where you sit. Both are joined so you cannot see where one stops.
Why Fosse & Fen
Three promises we make to every customer, written into every quote.
The price we give you after the 3D design is the price you pay. If we find something underground that nobody could have seen, we stop, show you, and agree any change before we carry on.
We protect your drive and lawn, keep materials stacked in one place and sweep up before we leave each evening.
Our founder visits every site during the build as well as at the quote. If something needs deciding, you are talking to the person who can decide it.
How it works
1
Free
We visit, measure the garden and talk through how you want to use it. We check levels, drainage and access while we are there.
2
No obligation
We draw the garden in 3D and walk you round it. Once you are happy with the design, you get a fixed, itemised quote.
3
Tidy site
Our team builds it from dig-out to planting. You get a start date, a weekly plan and a tidy site every evening.

10 years
We walk round the finished garden with you, show you how to look after it and hand over your 10-year workmanship guarantee.
Reviews
They dug out the whole back garden and had the patio, lawn and lighting finished in four weeks. The 3D drawing meant there were no surprises. It looks exactly like the drawing.

Owen came out three times during the build to check on things. The lads were polite, started on time every morning and swept the drive every night.

Our resin driveway went down in a day once the base was in. Fixed price, no extras, and the guarantee in writing.

A good artificial lawn on a proper base should last 10 to 15 years. The base matters as much as the grass, which is why we always dig out and compact it.
Yes. The base and backing are permeable, so liquid drains through, and you pick up anything else as normal. A rinse with the hose now and then keeps it fresh.
It can get warm in direct sun on hot days, much like paving. A quick spray of water cools it down. Some grasses are made to stay cooler, and we can show you those.
We can, using a foam underlay for cushioning and drainage holes where water would otherwise sit. On soil we always dig out and lay a proper base instead.
Not if you choose a good one and lay it properly. Mixed blade colours, a brown thatch at the base and hidden joins make it read as a lawn from the house. We bring samples to the design visit so you can see them in your own garden.
