Artificial grass is an alternative solution to a natural lawn. It requires very little upkeep since you won’t have to mow it or handle mud in the winter. Today, artificial grass consists of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They have generally been made use of in commercial conditions, but are becoming increasingly popular in people’s properties. It is possible to lay artificial grass on virtually any surface, regardless of whether it's flat or sloping. It's 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 need to water it and there's no reason to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get up to 20 years out of your artificial grass without any upkeep and hassle. It will not fade or flatten after some time, and it'll retain its colour right until the end of its life. In case 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 no cost, no obligation quote.
Artificial grass project prices can vary a lot, depending on the product you choose and the amount of it you need. The location of your property and the accessibility of the area youâre planning to cover can make a big difference too. Generally, the average cost of artificial grass projects in the UK is about £4,000. However, itâs a good idea to get several quotes from tradespeople working in your area, so you can determine whatâs a fair price for your project.

Broadstone is a town and suburb of Poole in Dorset, England. It's positioned roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) from Hamworthy railway station and 7 miles (11 kilometres) from Bournemouth International Airport. Since 1840, it has expanded from a modest farm to a suburb. In 1840, 'Broadstone Farm' was established, and a railway line bypassed it in 1847. Its 1st church was established in 1853, which later became the Scout hall. The initial railway station was built in 1872 and named 'New Poole Junction' and, following several name revisions, became "Broadstone" in 1890. Broadstone First School was originally a Dame school, founded in 1871. At the turn of the century, lavender oil began being produced in the town. This came to a stop in 1935 when the factory was destroyed in a fire, but a lot of lavender can still be seen in the area. Much growth of the town has been undertaken, especially with the establishment of the Pine Springs housing estate and also the building of extra schools to service the growth in population. As outlined by the 2011 Census, the town has a permanent resident population of roughly 10,300, which has grown slightly from the about 10,000 inhabitants measured in the 2001 Census. Centred around the main road (the B3074), 'The Broadway' is a thriving hub of shops, churches, schools and housing. The shops include both local and national chain retailers, and also cafes and restaurants. Broadstone is famous for its big recreation fields and heathland park, along with an annual Christmas parade and lights. The 24 acres of Broadstone Heath are some of the original heathland which covered the Poole Basin. For all your home improvements, be certain that you pick reputable specialists in Broadstone to ensure you get a fantastic quality service.

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!
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!
