Best Artificial Grass Company Essex UK: 2026 Comparison

The strongest established options are Artificial Grass It for west Essex and the Hertfordshire border, Essex Artificial Grass in Upminster for south Essex, Fake Grass Essex in Hornchurch, and Essex Artificial Lawns in Leigh-on-Sea for the Southend area. All four are experienced firms with public reviews and verifiable claims.

We have put ourselves first for the area we genuinely serve best, and we say plainly below where the others are the more sensible call. The comparison section at the end applies whichever firm you speak to.

That is us, so read this entry knowing we wrote it. We are a family-run installer with a 5.0 rating on Google, covering west Essex from our base in Royston: Harlow, Epping, Waltham Abbey, Chigwell, Dunmow, Saffron Walden, and the villages between. Every job gets a full dig-out and a compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base, because the ground preparation is what decides how the lawn performs.

After a survey we send a fixed written quote, and that number does not move. We do not publish per square metre prices. And to be straight with you: if you are in Southend, Basildon, or anywhere in south Essex, the three companies below are closer to you than we are, and travel distance matters on a groundwork-heavy job.

Essex Artificial Grass is the strongest option for south Essex. The owner, Dean, is named on the website and works on every job, which is exactly the kind of accountability we tell people to look for. The company claims more than 120,000 square metres of artificial grass laid.

They also publish their prices, with installations starting from about £50 per square metre, and offer a cost calculator on their site. If you want a named person on the tools and a public price point before anyone visits, they are hard to argue with in the Upminster area.

Fake Grass Essex has been trading for more than 10 years and claims over 1000 installations, with a Checkatrade 5 star badge you can verify independently. Longevity and volume at that level are worth something in an industry with plenty of short-lived firms.

They are also unusually transparent on price, publishing a fitted range of £50 to £90 per square metre in their FAQ. If you are in Hornchurch or the surrounding boroughs and want an experienced, Checkatrade-vetted installer with published numbers, start here.

Essex Artificial Lawns has been trading for 13 years from Leigh-on-Sea and offers a "10 Year No-quibble Guarantee" on its products, which is a stronger written commitment than most firms put their name to.

Their offering is clearly segmented across residential, commercial, and sports surfaces, so they suit buyers whose project is not a standard back garden: schools, offices, or sports areas around the Southend side of the county.

Ask every company to state the dig-out depth, the sub-base material and compaction, whether waste removal is included, and how the edges will be fixed. Two of the firms above publish per square metre prices and two of us do not, but the published number only means something once you know what scope sits behind it.

Then ask who actually does the work, and read reviews from your own town rather than the overall score. A Chigwell review that mentions access through the house and a bill that matched the quote tells you more than any star average. Distance matters too: a local team spends its day on your garden, not on the A127.

Full disclosure: Artificial Grass It is our company and we placed ourselves first for west Essex, which is the area we genuinely serve best. The other three firms were chosen because they are established, based in Essex, and publish reviews, prices, or guarantees you can verify on their own websites, which we link below.

Nobody paid to be listed, we have no commercial relationship with any of them, and the factual claims were taken from their own published websites in July 2026. Where a figure is a company's own claim, we have said so.
