Question:
What is usually involved with laying a new Artificial Grass lawn?

Answer:    
Quite a lot, but our team perform these installations regularly so they know what they are doing. Once initial observations have been considered e.g. drainage, grass selection and access etc. here is a brief rundown of what may be involved:

• Removal of existing lawn, gravel or paving using a turf cutter, concrete breaker or maybe a mini digger.
• Dispose of the above in a skip or ‘muckaway’ service.
• Level area and install tanalised timbers to the surrounds.
• Import into the area the MOT Type 1 to be used as a sub-base.        
• Mechanically compact with a ‘wacker plate’
• Apply a blinding layer of limestone dust and compact.
• Apply a heavy duty Geotextile Membrane to prevent weed growth.
• Roll out the Artificial Grass onto the area and carefully cut ensuring it is attached to the timbers securely and correctly and the grass is applied at the correct tension.
• Any joins must be knitted together carefully and competently.
• Apply Silica Sand to the entire surface at 2-3kgs per square metre
