What Are the Benefits of Installing an Artificial Lawn?
Artificial lawn offers several advantages:
- Low Maintenance: No mowing, watering, or fertilising.
- Weather-Resistant: Stays green and usable year-round, regardless of the weather.
- Pet and Child Friendly: Durable and safe for heavy use by children and pets.
- Eco-Friendly Options: Reduces water consumption and eliminates the need for harmful chemicals.
- Cost-Effective: Saves money on lawn care over time.
How Long Does Artificial Lawn Installation Take?
On average, a small lawn of 20m² can be installed in 1 to 2 days.
Medium-sized areas of 50m² typically take 2 to 3 days, while larger installations of 100m² or more can take up to 5 days.
Groundwork, such as removing old turf or levelling, may add extra time to the project.
The installation time depends on the size of the lawn and the preparation required.
What Types of Artificial Grass Are Best for Lawns?
Standard lawn grass is ideal for residential gardens, offering a natural and realistic appearance.
Luxury grass provides a thicker, more premium finish for high-end landscaping projects.
For families, playground grass is softer and cushioned to enhance safety for children.
Pet-friendly grass is designed to withstand pet activity, featuring durable, non-toxic materials and easy cleaning capabilities.
If you’re seeking durability for high-traffic areas, nylon or polyethylene-based grass is recommended due to its resilience.
How Is an Artificial Lawn Installed?
First, the area is measured and prepared by removing any existing grass, weeds, or debris.
Groundwork is then carried out, including excavation, levelling, and laying a weed membrane to prevent weed growth.
A sub-base, typically made of crushed aggregate, is added and compacted to create a stable foundation.
The artificial grass is then rolled out, cut to size, and secured in place using adhesive and stakes.
For a professional finish, the fibres are brushed upright, and sand infill may be added if required. A final inspection ensures quality and durability.
Is Artificial Grass Safe for Children and Pets?
Artificial grass is completely safe for children and pets.
It is made from non-toxic materials and does not contain harmful chemicals, ensuring a safe play environment.
The soft, cushioned surface minimises the risk of injuries during play, making it a popular choice for families with young children.
For pet owners, artificial grass is highly durable and resistant to pet activity, including digging and staining.
It also drains efficiently, making it easy to clean up after pets using water and mild detergent.
How Long Does Artificial Grass Last?
High-quality artificial grass can last 10 to 15 years or more with proper installation and maintenance.
The lifespan depends on the quality of the materials, the amount of foot traffic, and how well it is maintained.
Durable options like polyethene and nylon grass are particularly suited for areas with high usage, while regular brushing and occasional cleaning can help prolong its life.
How Do Artificial Lawns Compare to Natural Grass?
Artificial lawns require significantly less maintenance, eliminating the need for mowing, watering, or fertilising.
Artificial grass is also more durable, standing up to heavy foot traffic and extreme weather without losing its appearance.
Although the upfront cost is higher, artificial lawns save money over time due to reduced maintenance expenses.
Natural grass provides ecological benefits such as supporting biodiversity and offering a cooling effect, which artificial grass cannot replicate.
What Maintenance Does an Artificial Lawn Require?
Regular brushing helps keep the fibres upright and removes debris.
Occasional washing with a hose is recommended to clean dirt and pet mess.
Weed control may be necessary along the edges, and inspections should be conducted periodically to ensure that the seams and edges remain securely adhered.
Can Artificial Lawns Be Installed on Any Surface?
Artificial lawns can be installed on a variety of surfaces, including soil, concrete, decking, and paving. However, the preparation process varies depending on the surface type.
For soil, the ground must be excavated, levelled, and stabilised with a sub-base.
Concrete and paving installations may require additional cushioning layers to ensure a smooth, comfortable finish.
How Can Artificial Lawns Enhance Your Outdoor Space?
Artificial lawns enhance outdoor spaces by providing a neat, green, and low-maintenance surface that looks beautiful year-round.
They are particularly useful in areas where natural grass struggles to grow or requires frequent upkeep.
Artificial lawns create functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces for entertaining, relaxing, or playing, transforming gardens, patios, balconies, and even commercial landscapes into welcoming environments.
