SYNTHETIC TURF

The advantages include saving money and time, especially on lawn maintenance, and it can also improve lifestyle and help with environmental issues.

Low maintenance – generating savings on time and up-keep costs. This applies to homeowners, the elderly for whom maintenance is not practical, second/holiday home owners and also organisations such as local councils who have to maintain roadside verges, city parks and pathways.

No watering – ideal where water is scarce or in hosepipe/sprinkler ban areas.

Better for the environment – no need for pesticides and mowing.

Ideal for areas of heavy usage – no more slippery, muddy areas, no more muddy shoes or muddy dogs’ paws to have to clean up! All-year-round green – aesthetically pleasing to the eye no matter what time of year. No more yellow patches on your lawn and no more weeds staring back at you!

Clean and hygienically safe – no degradation by pets.

Artificial grass is low maintenance, helping you to save on time and money. You will have a beautiful lawn with no need to mow or water the grass, add fertiliser, and your pets won’t damage the grass.

Artificial grass is permeable so the rain water will run straight through it. However it is a good idea to fit a drainage base below the levelling layer. This is discussed further in our installation section.

Generally speaking, a mild detergent is the best thing to use. Products that are acidic in nature (ie. pH less than 3) or have oxidising properties (like bleach or peroxide) should be avoided.

This depends on the use you make of the lawn. It is worth considering that artificial grass used on football pitches is usually expected to last for over 10 years.

Very little indeed. You need to remove any debris which falls onto the grass and smooth any infill you may have. A leaf rake or garden broom will remove debris like fallen leaves, help realign the fibres and will smooth this at the same time. As the artificial grass is permeable, rain water will run through the infill and clean it at the same time. (Recommended wash the artificial grass with water every 6-12 months)

Your pets should be fine. Pets tend to treat artificial grass just like normal grass except they can’t dig it up! Any droppings are easy for you to remove or wash away. If the grass will receive very heavy use from pets, as it would in a kennels, we can recommend disinfectant which will help remove smells and kill bacteria. However, this action is rarely needed for normal domestic use.
