Beautiful Lawns, All Year Round
If you’re tired of mowing, weeding and dealing with muddy patches through the winter months, an artificial lawn could be the perfect solution. At Maple Tree Carpentry, we install high-quality artificial grass across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey, giving you a beautiful green garden that looks great twelve months of the year - with virtually no maintenance.
Artificial lawns have come a long way in recent years. The grasses we install look and feel remarkably realistic, with varied blade heights, natural colour tones and a soft texture underfoot. They’re pet-friendly, child-safe and built to withstand heavy use without wearing thin or losing their shape.
Our Installation Process
A proper installation is what separates a great artificial lawn from one that wrinkles, drains poorly or comes apart at the seams. We follow a thorough process to make sure your new lawn performs well for years to come:
- Excavation - removing existing turf, topsoil and debris to the correct depth
- Base layer preparation - laying and compacting a crushed aggregate base for drainage and stability
- Weed membrane - fitting a heavy-duty membrane to prevent any growth coming through
- Lawn fitting - carefully laying, trimming and joining your chosen artificial grass
- Infill and brushing - applying kiln-dried sand to weigh the grass down and keep the blades upright
- Associated works - including sleepered beds, timber edging, decking borders and landscaping
We take particular care with the edges and joins. It’s the attention to detail at these points that makes the difference between a professional installation and a DIY attempt.
Choosing the Right Grass
We offer a range of artificial grass types to suit different budgets and uses. Whether you need a hard-wearing lawn for children and dogs, or a lush, premium-look grass for a front garden, we’ll help you pick the right option. We work with trusted suppliers who provide grasses with strong UV resistance, good drainage and realistic appearance.
During your initial consultation, we’ll visit your garden, take measurements and talk through the options. We’ll also advise on any groundwork or drainage considerations specific to your site - something that’s especially important in clay-heavy soils common around the Berkshire and Surrey area.
More Than Just Lawns
Many of our artificial lawn projects include additional landscaping work. We regularly combine lawn installations with timber sleeper beds, gravel borders, new fencing and decking areas. If you’d like to transform your whole garden in one go, we can put together a complete package. We also work closely with a local landscaper for planting and design if needed.
You can see examples of our completed artificial lawn installations in Reading, Bracknell, Camberley and beyond on our projects page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an artificial lawn cost to install?
The cost of an artificial lawn depends on the size of the area, the type of grass you choose and the amount of groundwork required. Every garden is different, so the best way to get an accurate price is to arrange a free site visit. We’ll measure up, discuss your options and provide a detailed, no-obligation quote. We install artificial lawns across Wokingham, Reading, Bracknell and the wider Berkshire area.
How long does an artificial lawn last?
A quality artificial lawn, properly installed, will typically last between 15 and 20 years. The grasses we use are UV-stabilised to resist fading, and the installation method we follow - with a proper aggregate base, weed membrane and infill - ensures the lawn stays flat, drains well and looks good for many years.
Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?
Yes. The artificial grasses we install are non-toxic, lead-free and safe for both children and pets. They’re also easy to clean - pet waste can be hosed off, and the lawn won’t develop muddy patches no matter how much use it gets. Many of our customers in Berkshire and Surrey choose artificial grass specifically because they have dogs or young children.
Does an artificial lawn need any maintenance?
Very little. An occasional brush to keep the blades upright and a rinse with a hose now and then is all that’s needed. There’s no mowing, watering, feeding or weeding required - which is one of the biggest reasons our customers choose artificial grass in the first place.
