RHS Award Winning Garden Design & Landscaping Services In Hampshire.
Artificial Grass in Winchester
Winchester gardens have two conditions that defeat real lawns: dense shade under mature trees, and thin soil over chalk that dries out and burns off every summer. Helyers of Hampshire install artificial grass across Winchester and its villages for exactly those situations.
Artificial Grass on Chalk and Under Trees
Thin chalky soil holds very little water, so lawns here go brown early and recover late. Add the shade and root competition from mature trees in older Winchester gardens and there are plenty of spots where grass will simply never thrive. Artificial grass gives those areas a permanent green surface.
What Our Installation Includes
See our main artificial lawn service page for more detail.
- Full ground preparation – turf and topsoil removed, levels corrected, sub-base laid and compacted
- Drainage – permeable membrane and free-draining base so water goes away, not into the pile
- Premium grasses – a range of pile heights and colours, from realistic soft lawn to hard-wearing play grade
- Pet-friendly systems – free-draining build-up that rinses clean
- Edging – timber, composite or paved edges so the lawn keeps a crisp line
- Joins and seams – glued and taped so they stay invisible
Why Choose Helyers
RHS award-winning craftsmanship and 20+ years of working with Winchester’s chalk ground, mature gardens and awkward levels.

Common Questions
Can it go under a large tree?
Yes – it is one of the best solutions for deep shade and root-filled ground where turf will not establish.
Will tree roots be a problem?
We work around significant roots rather than cutting them, and build the base to suit.
Does it work on sloping ground?
Yes – we can install on a slope, or terrace the area first if you would rather have a level lawn.
Will it look out of place on a period property?
Not if the specification is right – we use natural-looking pile heights and colours, with a proper edge detail.
