How much does fake grass cost?
There are moments when you feel like you’ve got fewer options when renovating on a tight budget. However, that isn't always the case. In reality, there are a few areas where you can save a few pounds and reduce the amount you spend on your garden renovation.
On average gardens in England are estimated 255 square metres, This means that to cover your full garden with a basic grass range like our Oasis essential grass would cost about £1,527. This might sound like a lot, but there are a number of steps you can take to reduce these costs.
Measure your garden
Believe it or not, when considering your garden transformation, size matters…
Everyone's garden has a different shape and size, and everyone's grass range preference is different, too. This makes it impossible to give a general quote on how much it costs to lay artificial grass.
But here’s a tip that will help everyone, not just the budget conscious. Measuring your garden will allow you to determine how much grass you will need so you can buy the correct amount. Buying extra rolls when they’re not needed not only creates excess waste but can cost you unnecessary money.
Once you’ve got your measurements you can set your budget and determine which range of artificial turf to go for.
Order Free Samples
A great way to find the cheapest way to lay artificial grass is to order free false grass samples. This allows you to see the quality and feel of a variety of grass options and how they fit in your garden. Once you’ve determined which grass type is the one for you, you’ll be able to commit to buying a single product instead of several.
Top Tip: If you end up with many different grass samples, you can be extra money savvy and use them to your advantage. You can use small squares of artificial grass inside dog houses, as mats for your outdoor shoes or as decorative elements in your home.
All of our artificial grass selections at Grass Direct are of exceptional quality so whatever option you choose from your free samples, you’ll be getting grass that’s soft, dense and realistic for a price that suits you.
Utilise grass remnants
We’d say that by far the cheapest way to lay artificial grass is by using grass remnants. These are excess cuts of grass that are discounted by up to 70%. Off-cuts are of the same exceptional quality but at a reduced price. Not only does this help with wastage but it’s also great for your wallet.
With grass remnants, you could install luxury grass in your garden at a fraction of the price, meaning you can get the highest quality product on the market that you may have not been able to afford at full price.
Whilst installing several smaller pieces of false grass may be more tricky and tedious, with professional installation you’ll have a fabulous green garden for a bargain price.

DIY Installation
When it comes to installation, the cheapest way to lay artificial grass is to install it yourself. It may not be an easy task but for keen DIY enthusiasts, it shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.
With our step-by-step installation guide, you’ll be able to install your artificial lawn in no time. You’ll be surprised to know that in many cases, the expensive costs involved in switching to false turf come from the price of hiring a professional fitter.
During installation, it’s important to think about things like the cheapest sub-base for artificial grass. Be sure to shop around to find the deals on gravel and crushed stones for your sub lay, remember that any type will do the job and you don’t need to spend more on premium gravel, it’s all the same.
