Artificial grass is an alternative option to a natural lawn. It requires very little maintenance because you won’t need to mow it or handle mud in the winter. Today, artificial grass is comprised of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They've generally been utilised in industrial conditions, however they are becoming increasingly common in people’s properties. You are able to lay artificial grass on practically any surface, irrespective of whether it is flat or sloping. It's safe for children and pets, plus it drains like genuine grass so you won’t end up with puddles. It’s environmentally friendly as you won’t need to water it and there is no need to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get as much as 20 years out of your artificial grass without any maintenance and hassle. It will not fade or flatten after some time, and it'll retain its colour right till the end of its life. If you require a local pro to lay artificial grass for you, simply fill in the form and we’ll put you in contact with as much as 4 contractors who will provide you with a totally free, no obligation quote.

Beckenham is a district inside the London Borough of Bromley. It borders Beckenham Place Park and Bellingham in the London Borough of Lewisham. It is 13.5 km south east of Charing Cross.
Beckenham had been a little village within the borough in Kent with most land serving as private parkland until the railway was constructed in 1857. Just after that, an entrepreneurial family started constructing villas which triggered the population to rise massively from just 2,000 to 26,000 between 1850 and 1900. Since 1900, housing has been constructed at a steadier pace, meaning the populace is starting to even out. In the 2011 census, the population stood at 56,668.
The district is served by three key railway stations as well as six more within the post town. There's also two Croydon Tramlink stations to the west of the district. Transport for London buses serve the Beckenham area to link it with other towns such as Bromley, Catford, Croydon and Crystal Palace.
Beckenham is identified for its several chapels. St George’s Church is the principal parish church and stands at the centre of the district. It goes back to about 1100, but was majorly rebuilt in the end of the 19th century. It consists of a 13th century lynch gate that is thought to be among the oldest of its sort in England.

Laying artificial grass is a popular project – it’s a great way to create a smart, low-maintenance garden. There are plenty of professionals around who are experts at installing artificial grass, but it’s possible to DIY too if you’re feeling confident.
Lots of homeowners choose to replace their existing turf with artificial grass, so lay it on soil. To do this, start by clearing the area of any greenery or turf. Then remove any extra soil to a depth of about 40mm. You might want to leave the centre of your area slightly higher than the edges for a more natural look.
Next, you need to add a weed membrane and a sharp sand sub-base. It doesn’t really matter which one of these you do first, but you might find it easier to lay the weed membrane first and then use the sand to weigh it down, to a depth of about 35mm. Use a rake and plank to make the sand level, and compact it with a plank and heavy hammer. It doesn’t need to be completely flat – gentle slopes are fine. The weed membrane should overlap joints by 300mm.
After you’ve done this, you can lay your grass. Roll it out, trim it to size and fasten it in place. Make sure the ends of the grass rolls are staggered so they don’t end in a line. Lay the artificial grass with the pile (the strands) leaning towards the house so it looks nice and full when you’re looking out from the house. If you’ve decided to use edging boards, you can nail the grass into the tops of the boards. Or, if you haven’t, use ground pins to anchor it into the soil. Brush the grass and you’re done!
On a hot summer’s day, we often seek our garden lawn as a cooling place to sit and get some relief from the sun. However, since artificial grass is made from plastic, lots of people ask whether it gets hot, or whether it stays like natural grass. The answer is, it’s somewhere in between.
Of course, we all know to stay in the shade in midday sun and this is when your artificial grass will be at its hottest. Unless it is an extremely hot say and your lawn is in direct sunlight, you should still be able to walk on your artificial grass. The best thing to do is test it using the back of your hand before anyone walks over it with bare feet or children go to play on it.
In the shade, artificial grass should always maintain a cool temperature, although it will never have that refreshing feel of cold grass on a hot day. It will also cool down extremely quickly as the day goes on, so if your grass does get too hot it shouldn’t be unusable for too long.
Artificial grass has to meet high safety standards and most are UV stabilised, which means that they can withstand high temperatures without melting or getting extremely hot. It’s worth remembering that hot countries like Dubai use artificial grass, so the occasional hot day in a British summer should be enough for artificial grass to handle!
