Fake Grass Ongar

Artificial Grass Specialists Serving Ongar & the Ongar Parish

If you're searching for fake grass in Ongar or artificial grass installation across the wider parish, you've found the right team. Fake Grass Essex supplies and installs premium artificial grass throughout Chipping Ongar, out to Greensted, Shelley, Marden Ash and High Ongar.

Ongar - whose name literally means grassland - is a genuinely rural market town, set among open farmland between Epping Forest and the villages of West Essex. The historic High Street, lined with listed timber-framed buildings, sits close to the earthworks of a Norman motte and bailey castle, and the town was once the end of the London Underground Central Line - now preserved as the heritage Epping Ongar Railway rather than a working commuter service. That means Ongar households tend to rely on the car or bus for the daily commute rather than a station on the doorstep, and gardens across the parish range from compact High Street plots to substantial properties backing directly onto open fields.

Fake Grass Essex is a family-run business with over 10 years of installation experience and more than 25 years of trading in Essex through our sister company, Herringbone Driveways. We understand what a genuinely rural market town garden in Ongar needs, and how to work sensitively around listed buildings and historic town centre features.

We never ask for a deposit. You pay once the work is complete and you're completely satisfied with the result.

Why Artificial Grass?

Why Fake Grass Makes Sense in a Market Town Like Ongar

Ongar's identity as a small, genuinely rural market town - surrounded by open farmland rather than suburban development - creates a specific set of conditions for a lawn. Here's what actually matters here.

  • Open farmland surroundings. Much of Ongar parish is bordered by working agricultural land, which means heavier clay ground and more mud tracked in from field-edge walks than a typical Essex suburb sees.
  • Historic High Street conservation area. Ongar's town centre is lined with listed timber-framed buildings close to the Norman castle earthworks. We plan groundworks carefully around existing features on properties in this part of town.
  • No direct rail commute. With the old Central Line branch now a heritage railway rather than a working service, households commuting from Ongar typically rely on the car or bus to Epping or Brentwood - meaning less spare time for garden upkeep during the week.
  • Larger plots in the surrounding villages. Properties in Greensted, Shelley and Marden Ash tend to have more generous gardens than the town centre, often backing directly onto fields or paddocks.
  • Safe for children and pets. Our grass is pet and child safe - no chemicals, no sharp edges, and no muddy mess dragged in from country walks.
  • Looks presentable all year. No waterlogged clay after a wet Essex winter, no bare patches worn into a well-used family lawn. A fake grass lawn in Ongar looks the same in November as it does in June.
Who We Work With

Market Town Homes, Rural Properties & Village Gardens Across Ongar

We install fake grass across all types of property in Ongar and the surrounding parish - from High Street cottages to larger homes bordering open farmland.

  • Historic town centre homes - listed and period properties around Ongar High Street, where we work carefully within conservation area requirements.
  • Rural and farmland-bordering properties - homes in Greensted, Shelley, Marden Ash and High Ongar with larger gardens adjoining agricultural land.
  • Car-dependent commuter households - without a station in town, many Ongar families drive to Epping or catch the bus, and want a garden that stays low-maintenance through a busy week on the road.
  • Schools and nurseries - safe, all-weather artificial grass play surfaces installed for schools across Ongar and Shelley. Hard-wearing, mud-free and usable every single day.
  • High Street businesses - cafes, guest houses and shops along Ongar's historic High Street, which sees a steady flow of visitors to the Epping Ongar Railway and Greensted Church.

Market town specification note: On properties within the Ongar High Street conservation area or close to the castle earthworks, we assess any listed features and existing landscaping as part of the free site survey and plan groundworks accordingly.

FAQs

Common Questions About Fake Grass in Ongar

Have a question we haven't covered here? Get in touch and we'll answer it directly. You can also browse all our FAQs here.

It can affect the planning of groundworks rather than the grass itself. Properties within the historic High Street conservation area, close to the Norman castle earthworks, may have listed features or existing landscaping we work around carefully. This is assessed during your free site survey, and in the vast majority of cases artificial grass installation goes ahead without any issue.
We cover Chipping Ongar and the surrounding villages, including Greensted, Shelley, Marden Ash and High Ongar, across the CM5 postcode area. Call us on 01708 706 001 to confirm coverage for your specific address.
Yes, and it's one of the strongest reasons to consider it around Ongar. Properties bordering working farmland see far more mud and heavy clay ground than a typical Essex suburb. A properly built sub-base drains freely and keeps the finished lawn clean and usable, whatever's happening on the field next door.
Cost depends on the size of your garden, the product you choose and the groundwork involved. Larger rural gardens around Ongar and its surrounding villages can naturally cost more than a smaller town centre plot simply due to area. We always carry out a free site survey first and provide a fully itemised, fixed-price written quote afterwards.
All the products we install are fully pet and child safe. There are no harmful chemicals and no sharp edges. For homes with dogs, particularly in Ongar's rural, farmland-bordering properties, we recommend the Essex Pooch Plus. More information is available on our pet and child safe artificial grass page.
Most standard residential installations are completed in a single day. Larger rural properties in Greensted, Shelley or High Ongar may take longer depending on total area and groundwork required - we always confirm a clear timeline at the quoting stage.
Yes. Ongar's High Street sees a steady flow of visitors to attractions such as the Epping Ongar Railway and Greensted Church, and we regularly work on frontages and courtyard spaces for local cafes, guest houses and independent shops.
Yes. We offer a supply only service with delivery across Essex including Ongar and the surrounding villages. You receive the same premium grass at a competitive price, without the installation team.
Yes. Coverage extends across the whole Ongar parish, including Greensted, Shelley, Marden Ash and High Ongar, not just the town centre itself.
Brush the pile upright with a stiff broom every couple of weeks, and rinse off any heavier mud or dust blown in from adjacent fields during ploughing or harvest season. Full guidance is in our artificial grass maintenance guide.
