The Benefits of Artificial Grass

Why choose artificial grass for your garden, office or putting green? As you can imagine you’ve come to right place to find out! Here are some of the many benefits of synthetic turf products, also know as artificial grass or fake grass.

Lush Green Grass, All Year Round

Artificial grass looks great whatever the time of year – not just in the summer months. Choose the pile height, shade and thickness that is going to be perfect for you every day of the year.

Safe for Dogs and Pets

Our dog-friendly artificial grass is completely safe for pets. Our high quality artificial turf is non-toxic and manufactured with a polyurethane (PU) so does not absorb pet urine and keeps any pet smells to a minimum.

Great for Families and Play

Artificial grass is soft enough for children and dogs to play on and durable enough to withstand football, running and all kinds of rough and tumble. Fake grass is not just for outside, it can be great in the house for nurseries and play rooms. You could also play golf in your garage by installing an artificial grass putting green.

Easy to Install

Synthetic grass is incredibly easy to install if you’re comfortable with everyday DIY tasks . We’ve even written a very handy guide on How to Install Artificial Grass. And if you don’t fancy that we can recommend a professional to lay artificial grass for you.

Easy to Clean

Fake grass is amazingly easy to clean. You can use an artificial grass rake to get rid leaves and debris in autumn and a hose down every now and again is usually all you need to keep your grass looking as good as new.

Environmentally Friendly

Unlike real grass, with artificial turf you won’t need to water your lawn, use pesticides or use a lawn mower. Our Eco grass is an 100% recyclable artificial grass.

Hard-wearing and Durable

Our high-quality artificial grass will last many years with minimal maintenance, unaffected by rain, snow or sun! Our artificial grass comes with either a seven or ten year guarantee. Artificial grass can be used with garden furniture, swings and trampolines.

Low Maintenance

Artificial grass is a low maintenance alternative to natural grass. The best artificial grass has a smooth quality realistic finish and tough polyurethane (PU) backing that is both water-resistant and allows for hassle-free drainage. This all adds up to an artificial lawn that you can take the time to enjoy rather than fret about mowing, feeding or pulling up weeds!

Artificial Grass Can be Used Anywhere

You can use artificial grass for expansive luscious lawns or for small spaces such as balconies, your patio or terrace. You don’t need to worry about drainage or sunshine.

On Trend

Artificial grass is the choice of many landscapers and garden designers simply because of the huge range of artificial grass you can find, with a variety of colours, shades, thickness and pile height. Gardens can be brought to life with the vibrant greens of an artificial lawn.

Long Term Savings

The durability and long-lasting nature of artificial grass makes it both affordable and a sound investment over time. You won’t need to spend money on pesticides or replacing real grass that has succumbed to the elements. The initial cost will give you a lawn that will be looking great long into the future.

Perfect for Events

Artificial grass is perfect for exhibitions and events as it is hard-wearing enough to stand up to regular footfall and adds class to trade stands , shopping centres and festivals. Artificial grass can give your customers a high quality experience they won’t forget.

How Do I Install Artificial Grass?

You’ll want to check out our full guide to artificial grass installation, but here’s a quick guide to process we recommend.

1. Clear the existing surface
   Digging out the existing lawn or surface is essential.
2. Compact the ground so you have a level surface
   A level surface without lumps is key to the success of artificial turf installation.
3. Place the grass edging
   Placing down a wooden frame will allow the turf to drain even better.
4. Lay a base of sharp sand or stone
   The sand or stone will need to be firm. It’s important not to lay fake turf on soil.
5. Compact the area again
   Once again, to ensure a level, solid surface.
6. Install the underlay
   Again, this is where we would recommend that you take this action as a weed membrane as it will help help drainage.
7. Lay the artificial grass
   During this part of the process you’ll want to be careful not to disturb the weed membrane.
8. Let the grass settle
   Letting the artificial grass settle will avoid any creases or wrinkles
9. Join any pieces together if necessary
   You’ll need to use high quality tape or glue to do this
10. Trim the edge
    A cut and trim will give you a nice, neat finish.
11. Pin the grass down
    Landscaping pins will be needed to pin the grass down and flat-headed nails for securing the grass to the timber frame.
12. Brush the grass
    The fibres may look a little flat after being rolled up so an artificial grass rake will get them looking their best.
