How Long Does Artificial Grass Installation Take?
Artificial grass has become a popular choice for homeowners seeking a lush, green lawn without the hassle of mowing, watering, or constant maintenance. If you’re considering making the switch, one of the first questions you might ask is: How long does artificial grass installation take? At Landscapers Durham, we know time is valuable, so here’s a clear breakdown.
1. Factors That Affect Installation Time
The duration of an artificial grass installation can vary depending on:
- Lawn Size – Smaller areas can be completed within a day, while larger projects may take several days.
- Ground Preparation – Removing old turf, leveling the surface, and installing a solid base can take extra time.
- Site Complexity – Curves, edges, slopes, or features like flower beds may extend the timeline.
- Weather Conditions – Heavy rain or extreme cold can delay the process slightly.
2. Typical Installation Timeline
For most residential projects, here’s what to expect:
- Small Garden (Up to 20m²) – 1 to 2 days
- Medium Garden (20m² – 50m²) – 2 to 3 days
- Large Garden (50m²+) – 3 to 5 days
This includes:
- Site Clearance – Removing old grass and debris
- Base Preparation – Adding and compacting a sub-base layer
- Weed Membrane Installation – Preventing weed growth
- Grass Laying & Joining – Cutting and fitting your artificial turf perfectly
- Finishing Touches – Securing edges and brushing the grass for a natural look
3. Can Artificial Grass Be Installed Faster?
Yes—if the area is already level and free of debris (like concrete or paving), the process can be significantly quicker. In some cases, Landscapers Durham can transform a space in just a single day.
