Artificial grass is an alternative choice to a natural lawn. It requires very little maintenance since you won’t have 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 have frequently been utilised in industrial conditions, but they are becoming increasingly well-known in people’s properties. It is possible to lay artificial grass on practically any surface, regardless of whether it is flat or sloping. It is safe for children and pets, and it also drains like actual grass so you will not 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 up to 20 years out of your artificial grass with no maintenance and hassle. It won’t fade or flatten in time, and it will retain its colour right until the end of its life. Should you want a local pro to lay artificial grass for you, simply fill out the form and we’ll place you in contact with up to four contractors who will provide you with a free of charge, no obligation quote.

Broxbourne is a commuter town in the Broxbourne borough of Hertfordshire in the East of England with a population of 13,300 in the 2001 Census. The town's sister city is Sutera, in Sicily. The word Broxbourne is believed to find its origins in the Old English words brocc and burna meaning Badger stream. The Manor of Broxbourne is described inside the Domesday Book, which mentions Broxbourne Mill. The area was exploited for its gravel and sand extraction during 20th century. This stopped when the raw materials ran out at the end of the 1960s leaving lots of water filled lakes. Lots of the lakes became part of the Lee Valley Regional Park. While urbanised by industrial and commercial manufacturing, the whole area retains a great deal of its rural character and is enjoyed by individuals commuting to London. The New River which passes by way of the centre of the town, was constructed in the early seventeenth century. Broxbourne railway station was built in 1840. A terracotta works was opened soon afterwards by James Pulham and Son, who specialised in making artificial rock garden features; some of their work is preserved within the gardens at Sandringham House and Buckingham Palace. There are 600 companies within the borough, with warehousing and distribution sectors being especially well represented. The employers with over 250 personnel include: Fitzpatrick PLC in Hoddesdon (civil engineers); J Sainsbury, also in Hoddesdon; Marks & Spencer; Turnford Retailers and Merck Sharp & Dohme in Hoddesdon involved with pharmaceutical research.

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!
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!
