How much does artificial grass cost in Wigan?
The honest answer is: it depends on your garden, and anyone who gives you a firm price without seeing it is guessing.
Two gardens of identical size can differ substantially. One has an old lawn and a driveway to park on. The other has a concrete slab to break out and no side access. Publishing one headline rate would mean quoting high enough to cover the worst case, or quoting low and revising it once we arrive. Neither is much use to you.
That's why we do it the other way round at Everlasting Lawns. We come out, measure the area properly, check access, levels and drainage, then put a fixed price in writing. It costs you nothing and there is no obligation. Read the full guide on our artificial grass cost page.
What moves the figure
Size and shape of the area — larger areas are more efficient to install. Curves, islands and awkward returns create offcuts and take longer to seam than long straight runs.
What is there now — lifting an old lawn is straightforward. Breaking out concrete or an old patio means more machine time and more spoil to take away.
Access to the garden — a wide side gate keeps things quick. Where everything has to be barrowed through the house, every stage takes longer.
Levels and slopes — sloping plots need levelling, and sometimes retaining edges or a stepped design.
Turf grade — pile height, density and backing all vary. A busy family garden wants something more hard-wearing than a low-traffic front lawn.
Edging and drainage — timber, composite, steel or a paved border all behave differently. Genuinely waterlogged plots may also need a drain run designing in.
What a proper quote should include
Whatever the size of the job, the written specification should cover full excavation of the existing turf or surface, with all spoil removed from site, a compacted permeable sub-base with drainage falls built in, weed membrane and a fixed perimeter edging, quality turf joined with proper seaming tape and adhesive rather than pins, and sand infill brushed through, the pile dressed up and the site left clean.
Five things to check before you accept a quote
If one quote comes in noticeably below the others, it is almost always down to one of these. Ask for each in writing.
Excavation depth — turf laid on a thin layer of grit instead of a proper compacted base will settle and ripple within a couple of seasons.
Spoil removal — taking the dug-out material away is a real cost. If it is not written into the quote, it becomes a conversation later.
Perimeter edging — without a fixed edge the turf lifts and curls at the boundaries. It is one of the first things to fail on a cheap install.
Seam method — joins should be taped and glued. Pinned seams show as a visible line and open up over time.
Sand infill — infill weights the lawn down and holds the pile upright. Leaving it out saves the installer money and shortens the life of the lawn.
Compare the specification, not just the total. A cheaper quote usually differs on one of those.
From enquiry to fixed price
Send rough dimensions and a photo or two of the area. We arrange a visit at a time that suits you. We measure up and check access, levels and drainage. You get a written fixed quote with the specification set out. If you are happy, we agree a start date. If not, nothing owed. The quote is fixed — once we have surveyed the site, the written price is the price. The only thing that changes it is you changing the scope.
We install artificial lawns across Wigan, Standish and the North West, as well as porcelain paving, resin bound driveways and bespoke fencing.
