Artificial grass
Supply and fit of the Ruffells Range, with a compacted sub-base where the garden needs it, so the lawn stays even on a typical Hove plot. Guide to costs.

Artificial grass in Hove
Ruffells covers Hove as part of the same Brighton-based patch. Adam Ruffells will visit for a free, no-obligation survey if you are thinking about artificial grass, a patio, or other landscaping in the garden.

Gardens, ground and drainage in Hove
Hove sits immediately west of Brighton and has a mix of seafront gardens, tighter streets just behind the front, and wider suburban plots further inland. Along the coast road, salt and wind are a real factor. A few streets back, gardens are usually more sheltered.
Many Hove gardens are a fairly regular rectangle — typical of later Victorian and 1930s housing — which can suit a clean artificial lawn and a patio with a simple fall for drainage. There are also sloping gardens as the land rises away from the sea, where sleeper walls or a retained lawn may be part of the discussion.
Chalk still sits underneath much of Hove, so the ground often drains freely in dry weather. Water still has to go somewhere once the surface is finished, particularly if your garden sits below a neighbour or a bank. We look at that on the survey, together with access and where materials can be brought in.
What we can do here
Landscaping services in Hove
The Ruffells Range of artificial grass is the main work we are asked to do in Hove, with a 10-year warranty on the grass and a guarantee on the works. A rectangular suburban lawn often goes in with a patio or new fencing so the garden is completed in one go. Other landscaping is quoted after the same free survey. You can also read about these services on the main services list.
Patios
New patios and paths with a planned fall, alongside a lawn or on their own, including in the more regular-shaped gardens common inland from the front.
Fencing
Garden fencing to close in a plot or replace tired panels, taking exposure into account on the more open, seaward streets.
Decking
Timber or composite decking, including a raised platform next to an artificial lawn where you want sitting space off the grass.
Sleepers and retaining walls
Retaining sleepers where the garden rises away from the sea, or to hold a change of level between a patio and a lawn.
Raised beds
Raised planting beds, often in sleepers, along a boundary or beside a new lawn.
Garden drainage
Falls and outlets for rain once a lawn or patio is down, especially if the plot sits below a neighbouring garden.
Getting to you in Hove
Hove is a short run west of Brighton along the seafront or the Old Shoreham Road. Central Hove has permit parking, so we check on the survey where the van, a skip and deliveries can go, and whether materials will come through a side return or the house.
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 Hove
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.

Do you cover seafront and inland Hove gardens?
Yes, from the coast road back to the more suburban streets. Along the front, salt and wind are a real factor; a few streets back, gardens are usually more sheltered.
What if my Hove garden slopes away from the sea?
As the land rises inland, sleeper walls or a retained lawn may be needed so the grass can sit level. That is decided at the free survey.
