Real Lawns and Artificial Grass in Cambridge
If you are searching for artificial grass installation in Cambridge, it is worth knowing upfront that ELawnCare works with real grass exclusively. No artificial turf supply or fitting is offered. Lawn renovation from £190 for around 70m², with whole-lawn aeration and overseeding, targeted scarification where needed and topsoil on bare or damaged areas. Grass seed and topsoil are included in the agreed quote. Guide prices depend on lawn condition, access and the work required. Full-lawn scarification, full-lawn topdressing and additional materials are priced separately where needed. Send us a few photos and your approximate lawn size for a confirmed quote.
Many gardens considering artificial grass are actually dealing with a lawn that has been neglected rather than one that cannot support real grass at all, and renewal often solves the problem for less than a full artificial installation would cost.

Why check real grass options first
Lawn renovation from £190 for around 70m², with whole-lawn aeration and overseeding, targeted scarification where needed and topsoil on bare or damaged areas. Grass seed and topsoil are included in the agreed quote. Guide prices depend on lawn condition, access and the work required. Full-lawn scarification, full-lawn topdressing and additional materials are priced separately where needed. Send us a few photos and your approximate lawn size for a confirmed quote. For genuinely bare or badly damaged ground, fresh turf from £9 per m² labour gives an instant, real result.
Real grass also keeps working as a living surface: it drains rainwater into the soil, stays cooler underfoot in summer, and supports insects and soil life that a synthetic surface cannot.
When artificial grass genuinely makes more sense
Deep permanent shade under a dense canopy, or extremely heavy year-round use like a dedicated dog run, are situations where real grass genuinely struggles regardless of care. In those specific cases, a specialist artificial grass installer is the right call, and ELawnCare is happy to say so rather than push a real-grass solution that would not hold up.

Genuinely bare, badly damaged, or heavily shaded ground is a different situation.
Turfing labour is £9 per m² with turf supplied at cost, typically totalling £12 to £15 per m² installed. Artificial grass typically costs £30 to £60 per m² installed. Real turf costs less upfront but needs ongoing mowing and care.
Deep shade under a dense tree canopy or very heavy year-round dog use are the main cases where real grass struggles regardless of care. In those situations a specialist artificial grass installer is a better fit than a real-grass service.
