Artificial grass installers in East Lothian

Artificial grass installers in East Lothian number 15 on this directory, ranked using 337 verified reviews and an area-wide average of 4.8 out of 5. Most cover East Lothian from nearby towns — the median distance from the centre is 25 miles, which is a normal working radius for this trade. 3 are matched to an active Companies House registration, and 13 publish photographs of finished work.

Competition around East Lothian is unusually tight: 5 installers hold 4.9★ or better across at least ten reviews each, so a single poor review moves a company several places down this list. 8 take on commercial work — schools, nurseries, sports surfaces and housing developments — which is the group to approach for anything larger than a domestic garden. 9 also offer paving & groundworks, which matters if your lawn needs a new sub-base, drainage or edging rather than turf laid over what is already there.

Typical UK artificial grass costs supplied and fitted, by pile specification
SpecificationPer m² fitted40m² gardenNotes
Budget pile (20–25mm)£28–£40£1,150–£1,650Thinner, lighter pile. Fine for shade, low traffic and rental properties.
Mid-range pile (30–35mm)£40–£58£1,650–£2,350The most commonly installed spec in UK gardens. Good balance of look and wear.
Premium pile (37–45mm)£55–£80£2,250–£3,200Denser yarn, better recovery underfoot, more realistic multi-tone colour.

What moves the price

  • Removing the old lawn

    £8–£15 per m²

    Excavating turf and topsoil to 75–100mm, plus skip hire or grab-away.

  • Access

    £150–£600

    Rear gardens reached only through the house or a narrow side gate need barrowing by hand.

  • Sub-base

    £12–£22 per m²

    MOT type 1 and granite dust, compacted in layers. Skipping this is the usual cause of sinking.

  • Edging

    £12–£28 per linear m

    Treated timber is cheapest; aluminium or composite edging lasts longer and stays straighter.

  • Awkward shapes

    +10–20% waste

    Curves, islands and trees all increase offcuts, because turf comes in fixed 2m or 4m roll widths.

Artificial grass in East Lothian: common questions

How much does artificial grass cost in East Lothian?

Supplied and fitted, artificial grass in East Lothian typically runs £40–£58 per m² for a mid-range 30–35mm pile, so a standard 40m² back garden lands around £1,650–£2,350. Budget specs start near £28 per m² and premium piles reach £80. Removing an existing lawn adds £8–£15 per m², and a new MOT type 1 sub-base adds £12–£22 per m². These are national market ranges — always get three written quotes for your own garden.

Who is the best-rated artificial grass installer in East Lothian?

Artificial Turf Scotland currently ranks first for East Lothian on this directory, with 4.9★ from 158 verified reviews. Ranking uses a rating adjusted for review volume, so a company with three five-star reviews does not outrank one with two hundred at 4.8★. Planet Grass and Artificial Turf Scotland follow closely — compare all 15 before deciding.

How many artificial grass installers cover East Lothian?

15 installers cover East Lothian on this directory. 0 are based in the town itself and the rest travel in, with a median distance of 25 miles. 3 are matched to an active Companies House registration and 8 take on commercial as well as domestic work.

How long does artificial grass take to install?

A typical 40m² domestic garden takes one to two days: half a day to strip the old lawn, the rest of day one to lay and compact the sub-base, then day two to lay, join, trim and infill the turf. Larger gardens, poor access or wet ground push this to three or four days. Ask whether the quote covers waste removal, as that is the most common extra.

Do I need planning permission for artificial grass in East Lothian?

No planning permission is needed for artificial grass in a domestic garden in East Lothian in almost all cases, because it is not classed as a building operation. The exceptions are listed buildings, conservation-area front gardens where you are also changing hard surfacing, and properties with a planning condition on landscaping. Check with East Lothian council if you are unsure.
