Transform your Ashburton garden with low-maintenance artificial grass that looks good year round. It gives you a green, even lawn without mowing, mud or bare patches, ideal for town gardens, patios and small yards, including artificial grass for dogs and pets.
Our family run team, based in Newton Abbot and covering Devon, carries out every install with in-house staff. You get a free, no-obligation site survey from a qualified surveyor and a tailored quote, backed by a 10 year guarantee on most products.
Artificial grass from Outdoor Home Improvements is designed for the kinds of homes you find across the South West: period cottages with small lawns, modern new builds with low-maintenance borders, and barn conversions with tidy outdoor spaces. We assess each Ashburton site on its own merits, checking levels, drainage and access so the finished lawn sits flat, drains well and feels natural underfoot.
We install UV-stable yarns and robust backing systems so colour and structure stay consistent through sun and wet weather. For sites where rainwater management matters, we provide permeable options that help surface water drain away, and we prepare the sub-base to reduce frost heave and sinking. Every project is fitted by our own team, not subcontractors, and you’ll meet a qualified surveyor rather than a pressure salesperson during the free site visit. That way you get a practical design, an honest quote, and workmanship covered for most products for 10 years.
Properly installed artificial grass can give you many years of service. The exact life depends on usage, choice of product and maintenance, but we cover most products and workmanship with a 10 year guarantee to give you confidence.
Regular care such as brushing and clearing debris helps keep fibres upright and looking new, and our qualified surveyor will recommend the right product for how you plan to use the lawn.
Yes. Artificial grass works well in small town gardens, terraces and on modest slopes. We prepare the base so the lawn sits level and drains correctly, and we can build discreet retaining edges or tapered bases where needed.
Your free site survey will identify any levelling or drainage work required, and we include those considerations in the tailored quote so there are no surprises.
Drainage is a key part of a successful artificial lawn. We offer permeable solutions and prepare a compacted sub-base to encourage surface water to move away rather than pool on the surface.
If you have particular concerns about run-off or garden drainage, our surveyor will inspect the site and recommend the best approach for Ashburton conditions, so the finished lawn performs well in wet weather.
Times vary with size and site complexity, but most domestic installs for a standard garden are completed in one to three days. Larger projects or those requiring significant groundwork take longer and we’ll give a clear timescale in your quote.
We carry out all work with our own team, which keeps the schedule tidy and the quality consistent from start to finish.
Yes. We use non-toxic, UV-stable materials with options that have soft underfoot cushioning and non-slip surfaces. The finished surface is easy to keep clean and is suitable for children and pets.
For mobility needs, we can advise on pile height and base preparation so prams and wheelchairs roll smoothly. Discuss any specific requirements during the free site survey and we’ll tailor the solution.
When we visit your Ashburton property the survey is practical and focused. A qualified surveyor checks access, levels and existing surfaces, then discusses how you want to use the space. That informs a tailored design covering edge details, transitions to patios or paths and any groundwork needed to create a stable, well-draining base.
Base preparation matters. We remove unsuitable material, lay a compacted, graded sub-base and, where needed, incorporate a permeable layer to encourage rainwater to move away. The grass itself is selected for durability and appearance: yarns chosen for UV stability so colour holds up, backing systems that aid drainage, and pile heights suited to how the lawn will be used. Seams are glued and pinned with care so joins are neat and long lasting.
You’ll never get a standard one-size-fits-all fit from us. Because all installation is carried out by our own in-house team, you get consistent workmanship from survey through to completion. That continuity means less disruption and a better finish, and it’s backed by our 10 year guarantee on most products and workmanship. If you have a period cottage garden, a narrow town plot or a contemporary courtyard in Ashburton, we’ll plan the install to suit the space and the way you live in it.
We also install artificial grass in nearby Newton Abbot, and if you’re planning wider garden work alongside your new lawn, our Ashburton landscaping team can help too.

You’ll avoid mowing, trimming and the muddy patches that come with heavy use. For families that matters: children play more freely, dogs dry off faster and you don’t worry about bare spots forming under footfall.
Care is straightforward. Regularly remove leaves and debris, brush fibres back into place if they flatten, and rinse areas used by pets. For stubborn dirt we recommend a gentle wash with water and a mild detergent. Here are a few simple steps that keep a lawn looking its best:
We also work for commercial and school sites, so if you need a lawn for a community space or business setting you can rely on our experience with larger installs. Notable commercial clients include Clevedon Hall, Moretonhampstead Swimming Pool and Lidl, which shows we handle both domestic and commercial briefs with the same in-house team. You can see more of this work in our case studies, including this artificial grass installation in Bodmin.
