Artificial Grass carried out by the LM Trees & Landscaping team in a Scottish garden

What we provide

Carefully finished artificial grass.

Artificial grass gives you a green, usable lawn all year, which matters in a Scottish climate where real turf can sit wet and churned for months. It suits shaded gardens where grass struggles, small courtyards, family gardens that take heavy use, and anyone who simply does not want to mow. We install high-quality artificial turf for homes across Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire, with the groundworks and drainage done properly underneath so the surface stays flat, firm and free-draining for years.

What's included

Everything covered in a typical artificial grass job

  • Excavation and preparation

    Lifting the existing turf or surface and digging out to the correct depth so the finished lawn sits level with paths and patios.

  • Drainage and sub-base

    A compacted stone sub-base and laying course that lets Scottish rainfall drain straight through instead of pooling on the surface.

  • Membrane and edging

    Weed membrane beneath the base and secure timber or composite edging so the grass stays fixed and neat at every boundary.

  • Turf laying and joining

    Grass laid with the pile running consistently, joins bonded invisibly, and edges trimmed precisely around beds, trees and paving.

  • Brushing and finishing

    The pile is brushed up and the area left clean and ready to use straight away.

Our process

How a artificial grass job runs

  1. 01

    Enquiry and site visit

    Tell us what you need by phone, WhatsApp or the contact form. We arrange a convenient visit to look at access, ground conditions and the scale of the job.

  2. 02

    Clear written quote

    You receive a straightforward price with no hidden extras, including waste removal and the time we expect the work to take.

  3. 03

    Scheduling

    We agree a date that suits you and confirm beforehand, working around weather and your household where needed.

  4. 04

    The work itself

    We excavate, build and compact the sub-base, fit membrane and edging, then lay, join and secure the grass before brushing the pile up to finish.

  5. 05

    Clean-up and aftercare

    We clear all arisings and debris, leave the area swept and tidy, and give practical advice on looking after the results.

Why choose us for artificial grass

Almost every artificial lawn that fails does so because of what is underneath it, not the grass itself. We build a proper free-draining base, fix the edges securely, and take care over joins so you are not left with visible seams or a surface that ripples after the first winter. We are fully insured and tidy up fully at the end of the job.

Artificial Grass in Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire

Rainfall across Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire means drainage is the single most important part of an artificial lawn here. Heavy clay soils common in parts of Angus and Perthshire need a deeper stone base than sandier coastal ground in Fife, and shaded north-facing gardens benefit from a pile that brushes up easily and resists flattening. We plan the build for the ground you actually have.

What it costs

Artificial Grass prices in Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire

Artificial grass is priced by the square metre of finished lawn, but the groundworks underneath make more difference to the cost than the grass itself. A flat, well-drained lawn in Glenrothes needs less preparation than a sloping, waterlogged garden in Dunfermline that needs digging out and a new sub-base. We measure up on site, talk through the grass pile you prefer, and give you one clear price covering preparation, materials, edging and installation.

What affects the price

  • Size and shape of the area — curves and borders take longer than a simple rectangle
  • What is there now: turf, old paving or bare soil
  • Ground levels and drainage, which matter a lot in wetter Scottish gardens
  • The pile height and quality of grass you choose
  • Edging, joins and any steps or awkward corners

Common questions

Artificial Grass FAQs

Is artificial grass suitable for the Scottish climate?

Yes. Because it drains through a stone base rather than holding water in soil, a well-installed artificial lawn stays usable through wet Scottish winters when real turf would be waterlogged.

Is it safe for pets and children?

Yes. The grass we install is pet friendly and free draining, so it can be rinsed down, and there are no muddy patches to bring indoors.

How long does an installation take?

Most domestic gardens are completed in one to three days depending on size, access and how much excavation is needed.

Does it need any maintenance?

Very little. An occasional brush to lift the pile and clearing leaves off in autumn is usually all that is required.

How long does artificial grass last?

A quality product on a properly built base will typically give many years of service. Good drainage and secure edging make the biggest difference to longevity.

Who provides artificial grass in Fife and Tayside?

LM Trees & Landscaping install artificial grass across Fife, Dundee, Angus and Perthshire, handling the groundworks, sub-base, edging and installation as one job. We are fully insured, quote free of charge in writing, and clear the site when we finish. Call 07361 488 565.

How much does artificial grass cost in Fife?

The price per square metre depends on the grass you choose and, more importantly, on the groundwork needed underneath. Removing old turf, levelling and laying a proper drainage sub-base is what makes a lawn last. We measure your garden, show you the grass options and give one written price with no hidden extras.

Does artificial grass drain properly in Scottish weather?

Yes, when it is installed correctly. The grass itself is perforated and the sub-base we build underneath is designed to let water through to the ground below. That base is the part that matters in Fife and Tayside, where gardens see a lot of rain — a lawn laid straight onto soil will hold water and go soft.

Is artificial grass suitable for dogs?

It is one of the most common reasons people ask for it. There are no muddy paws, nothing to dig up, and the surface can be hosed down. We make sure the drainage underneath is up to the job so nothing sits on the surface.

What customers say

Reviews from our Facebook page

“Lee and team did a garden clearance for me after moving into a property with a pretty neglected garden, including a pretty hefty ivy growth on the back of the house. They did an absolutely cracking job of clearing all the growth, the ivy, some unexpected branch piles and taking away all the rubbish. Did in a day what would have taken me many days to do myself. Also got some great advice on the next steps of bringing the garden back to life.”

“Had Lee and team lay a patio and path. Work was done in a good manner and to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy and nothing was too much hassle. Thanks Mr McDonald.”
