Q. How long does artificial grass last? A. All of our grass comes with a standard manufacturer's guarantee of 5yrs but you can expect the grass to last for 15 - 25yrs, depending on use. Q. Does it matter what size my garden is? A. No, artificial grass comes in 4mtr wide rolls by any length and can be joined together with almost invisible seams. Q. What maintenance would the lawn require? A. Artificial grass is so appealing due to it being completely maintenance free. Q. Does artificial grass fade in the sun? A. No, the material that artificial grass is made from is UV stable, therefore it will not fade or discolour in sunlight. Q. Will I get weeds growing through the artificial grass? A. No, before the grass is laid we put down a geotextile membrane to prevent anything from growing underneath your new lawn. Q. Why do you need to put sand and rubber in the grass? A. The sand is used to help the fibres to stay up and to weigh the carpet down. Rubber can be added to the artificial grass to provide extra cushioning. Q. Is the grass safe for small children and animals? A. Yes, it makes an ideal safe surface for play areas and can have additional shock absorbers placed underneath it. It's just like normal grass but without the mud! Q. How is the artificial grass laid? A. Firstly we remove the existing grass, this then prevents the old grass from rotting underneath and causing an uneven base. We then level the area and cover it with a thin layer of sharp sand. The geotextile membrane is placed on top of the sand to prevent any unwanted weeds from growing through. The artificial grass is then laid on top and nailed down. Finally sand and rubber are brushed into the lawn to weigh it down and to give a softer feel underfoot.
