Artificial Grass

Benefits of Buying Fake Turf Grass

Low maintenance

It doesn’t get much easier than artificial grass. Once it’s rolled out, you don’t have to worry about much else! If it’s installed properly, artificial turf can last many years and transform your lawn space.

Consistent greenery

Fake grass remains green and vibrant all year round! Unlike natural turf which can be prone to drying out and turning brown, artificial grass won’t discolour and will look even in every season.

Saves on water

Keep on top of your water bills with artificial turf, saving you money on watering your garden. Even in the heights of summer, you won’t need to water your lawn to keep it looking luscious.

Cost effective

Artificial turf is a low maintenance alternative to the real thing which can save you money on having to plug in the lawn mower or the grass trimmer. You can also free up space in your garden by not having to store these bulky items!

FAQs

Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Almost all fake grass is children & pet friendly, but it’s always worth double checking first.

Can artificial turf be installed over existing grass?

Installing artificial grass over an existing lawn can lead to an uneven appearance. Remove any grass and sprinkle weed killer a week or 2 before laying your fake grass down. Break up the soil with a fork or a tiller before using a rake to flatten, then layer some sand or a purpose-built membrane to aid with drainage.

Does rain drain through artificial grass?

Most artificial grass is made to let water drain through, and laying it on top of well-draining soil or a layer of sand will make sure it doesn’t become waterlogged.

What do you put under artificial grass?

A gravel base or crushed stones make an excellent foundation for artificial grass, ensuring proper drainage to prevent puddles.

Can I lay artificial grass on concrete?

Yes, you can lay artificial grass on concrete, but for a smooth installation, ensuring the surface is clean and debris-free is essential.

Do you need underlay for artificial grass?

Although you can skip the underlay, it can significantly improve the appearance of your lawn by smoothing out lumps and bumps.

How long does artificial grass last?

On average, artificial grass can last 8-10 years with regular upkeep, but with proper maintenance, it can last up to 15-20 years, even with heavy use from kids and pets.
