Base and drainage first
A roll on baked clay is not an install. The surface is only as good as the base and where winter water goes.
Contractor install — base, drainage, then the surface
Artificial grass in Somerset West
Artificial grass installation in Somerset West as a contractor install: prepared base, drainage, then the surface. Not a franchise or manufacturer catalogue, no warranty-year claim.
01
Artificial grass on this site is an installed surface — excavation, base, drainage, infill as the system needs — not a roll sold from a shop and not a franchise landing page.
Artificial grass in Somerset West is a supporting landscaping card because some plots need a green surface that does not drink like a lawn. The live search for it in this town is franchise- and manufacturer-heavy. This page is not that catalogue. We do not list brand ranges, we do not run an online calculator, and we do not claim a warranty year. What we do is contractor install as part of a garden, or as a defined surface in a yard we are building: get the levels right, build a base that drains, lay the surface so seams and edges belong with the rest of the hardscape. Shade, wear, dogs and a braai court are the usual reasons people ask. A north-facing lawn that you actually want to water is a different card. Send suburb, photos of the area, and why you want artificial rather than turf or planting. We quote from the property. Helderberg water restrictions are context; they are not a reason to carpet the entire plot in plastic if indigenous beds would do the rest of the work.

Straight answers
Questions about artificial grass.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Is artificial grass an install or just a roll of turf?+
An install. Base layers and drainage are the job. A roll dropped on existing ground is how surfaces fail and pond in winter.
Instant lawn or artificial grass for shade, wear or water-saving?+
Different products. Living turf needs soil, light and water. Artificial is a built surface. Shade, wear and how you use the yard decide. No Rand comparison here.
Do you offer a manufacturer warranty?+
We are not claiming a warranty year on this site, and we are not a franchise landing page. Ask on the quote if a product warranty exists for the surface we would actually install.
Can artificial grass be part of a full landscaping job?+
Yes — often the honest split is artificial on the wear strip and planting on the rest, rather than wrapping the whole plot.
