Artificial Turf
Artificial Turf is one of the fastest ways to turn a patchy, boggy, dog-destroyed lawn into something that actually looks good year-round. M&R Property & Paving Services installs premium artificial grass across Staines, Bedfont and Feltham — and the single biggest driver of how it looks six months later is the base underneath, not the grass on top.
Choosing the right pile height and density
Short pile (20-25mm) is hard-wearing, good for dogs and children but reads a bit sports-pitch. Mid pile (30-35mm) is the sweet spot for most family gardens — looks like a well-maintained lawn, holds up to foot traffic. Long pile (40mm+) is the lushest option but flattens under furniture. We bring sample cuts to the quote visit so you can compare in your actual garden light rather than on a showroom floor.
Base preparation is where most installs fail
A cheap artificial turf install drops grass straight onto old soil — within months it develops lumps, hollows and drainage puddles. We excavate 75-100mm, lay a permeable compacted MOT base, top with granite dust screeded flat, install a weed membrane, and fix the turf with adhesive at the seams and ground pins at the edges. The turf is then brushed and a sand infill added so it stands up.
Drainage, pets and infill choices
Properly installed turf is permeable and drains faster than most lawns. For dog owners we use zeolite-infused infill that neutralises urine smells. For households with children, a shockpad underlay adds impact absorbency. We cover all of this during the quote visit rather than bolting it on at extra cost later.
Designed alongside the rest of the garden
Artificial turf looks best when it is framed by a clean edge — a porcelain patio, block paving, or a wider landscaping scheme. We design the whole back garden together so the turf reads as intentional rather than dropped in.

What our customers say
“Great job by Mark and team - everything professional from the initial visit, to a clear written quote and then a great job - everyone who came to the site was courteous and good communication throughout - thank you M&R for a top job !”
“Was recommended Mark and his team, and didn’t disappoint. Reached out for them to redo front wall. Communication was great, the guys that did the work were spot on, did a great job, on time and kept the space tidy throughout. Would definitely use again. Before and after pic below.”
“I would highly recommend M & R Paving. They provided an excellent service, offering helpful advice and taking the time to explain the best options for my driveway and garden. They also corrected mistakes left by previous contractors, and I really appreciated their care and attention to detail. As well as doing a wonderful job on the driveway, they enhanced the garden with porcelain tiles and laid new turf, transforming an uninviting space into a lovely garden that we can now enjoy. Once the work was completed, they left the site spotless. After seven months of difficulties with previous builders, it was such a relief to see the work completed to a high standard. I’m delighted with the results. Thank you for all your hard work!”
