Artificial grass in Ellon typically costs £40–£58 per m² supplied and fitted for a mid-range pile. These are national market ranges — we hold review and company data, not quoted prices, so treat them as a sanity check on the quotes you receive.
| Specification | Per m² fitted | 40m² garden | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget pile (20–25mm) | £28–£40 | £1,150–£1,650 | Thinner, lighter pile. Fine for shade, low traffic and rental properties. |
| Mid-range pile (30–35mm) | £40–£58 | £1,650–£2,350 | The most commonly installed spec in UK gardens. Good balance of look and wear. |
| Premium pile (37–45mm) | £55–£80 | £2,250–£3,200 | Denser yarn, better recovery underfoot, more realistic multi-tone colour. |
| Pet or sports spec | £50–£75 | £2,050–£3,000 | Free-draining backing, shorter pile, often laid over a permeable sub-base. |
National market ranges for supply and installation, reviewed August 2026. We hold review and company data rather than quoted prices, so these are indicative bands — not a quote for your garden. Always get three written quotes.
Excavating turf and topsoil to 75–100mm, plus skip hire or grab-away.
Rear gardens reached only through the house or a narrow side gate need barrowing by hand.
MOT type 1 and granite dust, compacted in layers. Skipping this is the usual cause of sinking.
Treated timber is cheapest; aluminium or composite edging lasts longer and stays straighter.
Curves, islands and trees all increase offcuts, because turf comes in fixed 2m or 4m roll widths.
Useful if your garden needs more than turf laid over what is already there.
Supplied and fitted, artificial grass in Ellon 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.
Hunter Landscapes currently ranks first for Ellon on this directory, with 4.7★ from 13 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★. Hunter Landscapes and Aberdeen Gardens follow closely — compare all 8 before deciding.
8 installers cover Ellon on this directory. 0 are based in the town itself and the rest travel in, with a median distance of 16 miles. 3 are matched to an active Companies House registration and 4 take on commercial as well as domestic work.
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.
No planning permission is needed for artificial grass in a domestic garden in Ellon 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 Aberdeenshire council if you are unsure.
Most Ellon installers travel to these towns too — worth checking if you want more quotes.
