Play Areas & Pet Lawns in Farnham
Children and dogs are hard on a lawn — real grass quickly turns to mud and bare patches under regular play. Artificial grass gives a clean, safe, hard-wearing surface that stands up to both, all year round. We connect you with a local installer who fits pet- and play-grade grass properly.
What the service includes
- Assessment of the space and how it is used
- A free-draining base built for heavy use
- A shockpad layer under play areas for a softer surface
- Hard-wearing, pet- or play-grade artificial grass
- Antimicrobial infill for pet lawns where appropriate
- Secure edgings and a clean, even finish
Why it suits pets and play
Pet-grade artificial grass drains freely, so it does not hold water or turn to mud, and waste can be cleared and the area rinsed. For children, a shockpad under the grass gives a softer, more forgiving surface than a worn lawn or hard ground, and there is no mud tracked into the house. It is clean, safe and usable in all weathers.
Considerations
- Drainage — essential for pet lawns, built into a proper base
- Shockpad — recommended under children's play areas
- Grade — a denser, shorter pile wears best under heavy use
Local knowledge
Family gardens across Farnham, Godalming and Haslemere often have a lawn that has lost the battle with children and dogs. A properly installed pet- and play-grade artificial lawn ends the mud, and the installer will advise on the right grade and infill for how your garden is used.
Frequently asked questions
Is artificial grass safe for children?
Yes — quality artificial grass is non-toxic and, laid over a shockpad, provides a soft, even, mud-free surface for play. It is a popular choice for family gardens and play areas.
Is it hygienic for dogs?
Yes. Pet-grade artificial grass drains freely, and waste can be picked up and the area rinsed clean. The installer can recommend an antimicrobial infill for pet lawns.
