The good news is that the process is usually much easier than people expect. From the first site visit through to the final brush and tidy up, the goal is to make the experience simple, stress free and exciting. We are proud of the feedback we receive from our clients and encourage you to check out our 5 star Google reviews to see what other homeowners have said about their experience with Lifestyle Lawns.
A new lawn can completely change how your backyard looks and feels. No more muddy patches, mowing, weeds or worn-out grass. Just a clean, low-maintenance space that looks great all year round.
It starts with a site visit..
The first step is usually a site visit so we can see the space, understand what you want to achieve and recommend the best solution for your home.
Some people are after a clean, family friendly lawn. Others want a dog area, pool surround, putting green or basketball space for the kids.
We will talk through:
How you want to use the space
Whether the area gets lots of sun or shade
Drainage and access
If the space is used by kids or dogs
The style of lawn you like best
Any extra landscaping or edging you may need
This is also your chance to ask questions and get a feel for what the finished space could look like.
Choosing the right artificial grass
Not all artificial grass is the same.
Some people want a lush, soft lawn that feels great underfoot. Others want something more hard wearing for kids, pets or high traffic areas.
At Lifestyle Lawns, we help guide you through the options so you can choose something that suits your home, lifestyle and budget.
Preparing the area
Once you are ready to go ahead, the preparation work begins.
This is one of the most important parts of the whole process. A good lawn starts with a good base. We remove the existing grass, soil, weeds or old surfaces and create a compacted base underneath. This helps with drainage, keeps the lawn looking smooth and prevents movement over time.
Depending on the area, this may also include:
Edging and borders
Drainage improvements
Levelling uneven ground
Creating steps or retaining edges
Preparing for pool areas, paths or entertainment spaces
The amount of preparation depends on the size and condition of the area, but this is what helps ensure the finished result looks great and lasts.
Installing the artificial grass
Once the base is ready, the artificial grass is rolled out, shaped to fit the area and joined carefully to create a seamless look.
The grass is then secured, brushed and finished with infill where needed to help the fibres stand upright and create a more natural appearance.
This is the exciting part where you really start to see the transformation happen.
In many cases, most residential installations can be completed within a few days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
The finished result
Once complete, you are left with a clean, usable backyard that looks tidy all year round.
No mowing. No muddy footprints through the house. No more trying to keep grass alive in shaded corners or around the pool.
Instead, you get a space that is ready for everyday life.
Kids can run around barefoot
Dogs have a cleaner place to play
Entertaining becomes easier
Your home feels more finished
Your lawn looks good in every season
We can help with more than just the lawn
Many people choose to update more than just the grass at the same time.
That could include garden edging, paving, pool surrounds, putting greens, basketball hoops, planter boxes or a full backyard makeover.
At Lifestyle Lawns, we can help bring the whole space together so your backyard feels finished, practical and ready to enjoy.
A backyard you can enjoy straight away
One of the best things about artificial grass is that you can enjoy it straight away.
There is no waiting for grass seed to grow or worrying about muddy areas after rain. Once installed, your lawn is ready for family life, pets, entertaining and everything in between.
A great backyard should be somewhere you want to spend time. Artificial grass can help make that happen.
