Artificial grass in Brighton
Ruffells Artificial Grass and Landscaping is based in Brighton. If you want a new artificial lawn in the city, or landscaping to go with it, Adam Ruffells will come and look at the garden on a free, no-obligation survey.

Gardens, ground and drainage in Brighton
Brighton gardens change a great deal in a short distance. Closer to the seafront and in the older terraced streets, plots are often small, with tight side access, steps or a basement yard. Further from the sea, towards the downs, gardens are usually a bit larger and more likely to slope.
The bedrock around Brighton is chalk. That usually means free-draining ground, but water still needs a proper route once you add a patio or a compacted lawn base, especially on a slope or where a neighbouring garden already sheds water towards you. Near the sea, salt-laden winds are worth thinking about when you choose grass, fencing and fittings — that is something we can talk through on the survey.
Access matters as much as the soil. Narrow twittens, shared alleyways and limited parking are common in parts of the city, and they affect how materials are brought in and how long a job takes. That is one reason every price is confirmed after a visit, not from a photograph alone.
What we can do here
Landscaping services in Brighton
Our main work in Brighton is artificial grass — we supply and fit the Ruffells Range, which comes with a 10-year warranty, and all works are guaranteed. In tighter city plots a smaller lawn is often paired with a patio, sleeper edging or raised beds, so the whole space is easier to use. Drainage and proper groundwork still apply on a small yard. You can also read about these services on the main services list.
Patios
Patios and paths that sit neatly with a new lawn, with falls so water runs away from the house — useful in tight Brighton plots where most of the garden may be paved.
Fencing
Replacement or new fencing to close in a terrace garden or finish a landscaping job, bearing in mind wind and, near the front, salt air.
Decking
Timber or composite decking, including raised platforms that step down to an artificial lawn where the garden changes level.
Sleepers and retaining walls
Sleeper walls and retained edges for sloping streets that rise away from the sea, or to hold a raised lawn in a smaller garden.
Raised beds
Raised beds to get planting up off a paved yard, or to make use of a narrow side return.
Garden drainage
A plan for where rain goes once a lawn base or patio is down, especially on a slope or in a fully paved courtyard.
Getting to you in Brighton
Brighton is our base, so we cover the whole city, from the seafront terraces up to the estates on the edge of the downs. Much of central Brighton is in a controlled parking zone, so on the survey we ask about parking, where a skip or bulk bags could go, and how materials will get to the garden.
We work Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm. We work from home, so we do not publish a street address; the survey is at your property.
Guide to costs in Brighton
The guide is the same across our area, because the work is priced from the garden itself, not the town name. As a guide, artificial grass typically costs £55–£65 per m² installed. Ground prep, access, drainage, levels and grass choice all affect the final figure, which is confirmed after a free, no-obligation survey. There is no minimum charge. Other work is quoted at the survey.
Nearby areas we also cover
From Brighton we also regularly cover Hove, Kemptown, Ovingdean, Woodingdean, Portslade. The full list is below. If you are close to these places and not sure, just get in touch.
Questions about artificial grass in Brighton

How much does artificial grass cost in Brighton?
As a guide, typically £55–£65 per m² installed. The exact price for a Brighton garden is confirmed after a free survey, because ground prep, access, drainage, levels and grass choice all affect the figure.
Can you work in small Brighton terraces or basement yards?
Yes. Many city gardens have tight side access, steps or a basement yard. We plan how materials and waste will move on the survey, and we will say if a particular layout is too tight.
Does chalk or sea air change the installation in Brighton?
Chalk usually drains freely, but a compacted lawn base or patio still needs a planned route for water. Near the sea we also talk through grass, fencing and fittings because of salt-laden wind.
