Artificial Grass Chelmsford

Transforming Gardens Across Chelmsford

We supply and install artificial grass throughout Chelmsford and the surrounding areas. Whether you have a small back garden that gets no sun, a large family lawn that takes a battering from children and dogs, or a commercial space that needs to look presentable year-round - we can help.

Fake Grass Essex is a family-run business with over 10 years of experience installing artificial grass across Essex. We are part of the Herringbone Driveways family, a company that has been trading in this area since 1996. That means local knowledge, genuine experience and a track record you can actually verify.

We cover all of Chelmsford - from the city centre and Moulsham through to Writtle, Broomfield, Springfield, Great Baddow, Galleywood and the surrounding villages. No job is too large or too small.

Unlike some companies, we never ask for a deposit. You pay once the job is complete and you are satisfied with the result.

Why Artificial Grass?

The Practical Reasons Chelmsford Homeowners Switch

Artificial grass is not for everyone - but for a lot of Chelmsford gardens, it makes real sense. Here is why people call us.

  • No more muddy footprints. Chelmsford clay soil and wet Essex winters make real grass a mess from October to April. Artificial grass drains freely and stays clean whatever the weather.
  • Shaded gardens. Many Chelmsford homes - particularly Victorian terraces and houses with north-facing gardens - struggle to grow decent grass. Artificial grass does not need sunlight.
  • No mowing, feeding or scarifying. Once it is down, the maintenance is minimal. A brush over every few weeks and an occasional rinse is all it needs.
  • Safe for children and pets. Our grass is pet and child safe - no chemicals, no sharp edges, and no mud tracked inside.
  • Looks good every day of the year. No yellow patches in summer, no bare worn strips, no moss. Just a consistent, green lawn.
  • Long-term value. When you factor in the time, equipment and products spent on lawn maintenance, artificial grass pays for itself over a few years.
Who We Work With

Chelmsford Homes, Schools & Businesses

We install across all types of property in and around Chelmsford.

  • Residential gardens - from small patio areas to full rear garden replacements across Chelmsford and the CM postcode.
  • Schools and nurseries - artificial grass is low maintenance, hard-wearing and safe for children's play areas. We work with schools across the Chelmsford area.
  • Commercial and office spaces - whether it is a courtyard, rooftop, balcony or communal garden, we install artificial grass for businesses across Chelmsford.
  • Garden landscaping projects - we often work alongside our sister company Herringbone Driveways on full garden transformations, combining artificial grass with patios, fencing and groundwork.

FAQs

Common Questions About Artificial Grass in Chelmsford

If your question is not here, give us a call or send us a message - we are happy to help. You can also see all our FAQs here.

The cost depends on the size of the area, the grass product you choose and the amount of groundwork required. Every garden is different, which is why we always carry out a free site survey before quoting. We give you a fully itemised, fixed-price quote after the visit - so you know exactly what you are paying and why.
Yes - we cover the full CM postcode area. That includes Chelmsford city centre, Moulsham, Springfield, Great Baddow, Galleywood, Writtle, Broomfield, Danbury, Boreham and all surrounding villages. If you are unsure whether we cover your specific location, just call us on 01708 706 001.
Most residential garden installations in the Chelmsford area take one day. Larger gardens or those requiring more extensive groundwork may take two days. We will give you a clear timeline when we quote, so you know what to expect.
Yes. All our artificial grass products have a perforated backing that allows water to drain freely. We also install a correctly prepared sub-base as part of every job - this is what ensures proper drainage long-term and is one of the most important parts of the installation. Done properly, artificial grass handles Essex rainfall far better than a natural lawn on clay soil.
All the grass we install in Chelmsford is pet and child safe. There are no harmful chemicals, no sharp edges and no mud to track indoors. We also have specific products designed for households with dogs - including the Essex Pooch Plus, which has enhanced drainage and a hardwearing fibre. You can find more information on our pet and child safe artificial grass page.
Yes. If you prefer to install the grass yourself, we offer a supply only service with delivery across Essex including Chelmsford. You get the same premium grass at competitive pricing - just without the installation team. Most customers find the installation more involved than they expect, so we always recommend getting a quote for the full service before deciding.
Maintenance is minimal. A brush over with a stiff brush every couple of weeks keeps the pile upright, and an occasional rinse with a hose removes any dust or debris. If you have pets, a quick clean after use is good practice. For a full guide, see our artificial grass maintenance page.
Absolutely. We offer free samples of the grasses in our range, posted directly to your home. This lets you compare pile heights, colours and textures before making any decision. You can order free samples here - there is no obligation to buy.
