Artificial grass is an alternative solution to a natural lawn. It needs very little maintenance as you will not need to mow it or deal with mud in the winter. These days, artificial grass is composed of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They've commonly been utilised in commercial conditions, but they are becoming a lot more preferred in people’s properties. It is possible to lay artificial grass on virtually any surface, regardless of whether it's flat or sloping. It is safe for young children and pets, plus it drains like real grass so you will not end up with puddles. It is environmentally friendly as you won’t have to water it and there is no reason to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get up to 20 years out of your artificial grass without any maintenance and hassle. It won’t fade or flatten after some time, and it will retain its colour right until the end of its life. In the event you require a local pro to lay artificial grass for you, just fill in the form and we’ll place you in contact with as much as four contractors who will give you a cost-free, no obligation quote.

Boscastle is a town and fishing port on the north coast of Cornwall, England, UK, in the civil parish of Forrabury and also Minster (where the 2011 Census population was consisted of). It is 14 miles (23 km) south of Bude and also 5 miles (8 km) northeast of Tintagel. The harbour is a natural inlet shielded by 2 rock harbour walls integrated in 1584 by Sir Richard Grenville and is the only significant harbour for 20 miles (32 km) along the coastline. The town expands up the valleys of the River Valency and also River Jordan. Heavy rainfall on 16 August 2004 created extensive damage to the village. Boscastle lies within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The South West Coast Path goes through the town. The village, with its attractive harbour, is a popular traveler destination. Among the destinations are the Museum of Witchcraft, Uncle Paul's Emporium, the Boscastle ceramic store, as well as access to the South West Coast Path. Much of the land in and around Boscastle is owned by the National Trust, consisting of both sides of the harbour, Forrabury Stitches, high over the Boscastle as well as divided into ancient "stitchmeal" growing stories, and also huge locations of the Valency Valley, recognized for its links to Thomas Hardy. The former harbour stables (part of the National Trust estate) are now a hostel run by YHA, prominent with walkers. The National Trust runs a shop at the harbour, and a visitor centre in the Old Smithy.

Laying artificial grass on concrete needs a slightly different approach to if you’re installing it over soil. The good news is that it’s much less labour intensive, as you don’t need to do any digging or levelling.
Ideally, your concrete base should be in good condition, and have an adequate fall on it to provide efficient drainage. If it doesn’t, you might have to do some repair work or drill some drainage holes first.
When you’re ready to start, begin by cleaning your concrete base. Use a jet wash or a hose and brush to dislodge and disperse any dirt or plant growth. Once it’s clean, leave it to dry completely.
Then, you need to fit an underlay - usually it’s made of foam. This will provide padding to make your artificial grass softer and more comfortable to walk on. It will also help to level out any slopes on uneven parts on the concrete. Make sure it’s a good-quality underlay that’s permeable – if it’s not, you could end up with damp artificial grass and nasty smells as it will hold moisture. Roll out the underlay and cut it to shape, taping any separate sections together.
Next, use an adhesive to secure the underlay to your concrete. Make sure you leave gaps in the adhesive to allow water to drain off easily. Leave the glue to dry, then you can start laying your grass.
Roll out your grass like you did with your underlay, cutting it to shape and joining any separate sections together with artificial grass tape. Then glue the grass to the underlay. Leave it dry, give the grass a brush, and it’ll be ready to use!
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!
