Our Installation Process
The steps we take to install artificial grass depend on your existing surface. Below is an overview of the typical process:
Step 1: Preparing the Ground
We begin by removing your old lawn and levelling the surface, discarding the existing topsoil and turf.
Step 2: Creating Edging
If necessary, timber battens are installed to create a sturdy edge. These high-quality, weatherproof timbers maintain the shape and secure the grass.
Step 3: Laying the Base
A MOT stone base is spread across the area, and then compacted to form a solid foundation. This base also serves as a drainage system, preventing water buildup.
Step 4: Sand Layer
We apply and compact a layer of sharp sand, ensuring an even surface before laying the grass.
Step 5: Weed Prevention
A weed membrane is then fitted to prevent any unwanted growth.
Step 6: Positioning the Grass
The artificial grass is unrolled and cut to size with precision to fit your space.
Step 7: Joining Larger Areas
For larger areas, we use specialist tape and adhesive to seamlessly join the grass pieces.
Step 8: Securing the Grass
We secure the grass with pegs and pins, and if timber edging is in place, we staple the grass to it.
Step 9: Final Touches
After installation, the grass is brushed to remove any flat spots, and we clear away all offcuts and waste.
Step 10: Completion
Once finished, we provide a care and maintenance guide, along with a 5-year guarantee for peace of mind.
