How to join artificial grass?

If you’re covering a larger area with artificial grass, you may need to join sections together. You can do this using self-adhesive joining tape, or joining tape and a separate adhesive. Steps to join artificial grass Unroll your two pieces of artificial grass, ensuring that the pile is running in the same direction. Fold over each piece by about 300m. To get the perfect seam, cut at least 3 tufts back, ensuring that you don’t trim any grass blades. Either remove the backing on your self-adhesive tape and unroll it down the centre of the join, or roll it out ensuring that the shiny side is down then fix at either end with adhesive. Fold over the grass onto the tape and bring each piece together, ensuring there’s a 2-3mm gap at the seam. Where the pile runs over the edge of the seam, fold over the artificial grass. Apply a small amount of adhesive under the edge of the first section of grass with a mastic gun, then add some to the front edge to stick the second piece. Bring the seam together, ensuring that you don’t get any grass blades stuck. Place a plank with some heavy objects on over the join to ensure that it dries securely. It’s not that difficult to join artificial grass, but if you have any doubt leave it to the professionals. Get in touch with a few artificial grass companies who will be able to tell you how much it will cost to lay artificial turf for you.

Artificial Grass in Chesham

Artificial grass is an alternative solution to a natural lawn. It calls for very little upkeep since you will not have to mow it or handle mud in the winter. Nowadays, artificial grass is composed of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They have typically been made use of in industrial situations, however they are becoming increasingly common in people’s houses. You can lay artificial grass on practically any surface, regardless of whether it is flat or sloping. It's safe for children and pets, and it drains like genuine grass so you will not end up with puddles. It’s environmentally friendly as you won’t have to water it and there's no need to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get as much as 20 years out of your artificial grass without any upkeep and hassle. It won’t fade or flatten in time, and it will retain its colour right until the end of its life. In the event you want a local pro to lay artificial grass for you, just fill in the form and we’ll place you in touch with as much as four contractors who will give you a cost-free, no obligation quote.

Chesham

Chesham is a market town in the Chiltern Hills within the county of Buckinghamshire. It's located 11 miles south east of the county town of Aylesbury. Chesham is also a civil parish having a town council within the Chiltern district. Situated inside the Chess Valley, it's surrounded by farmland, as well as being bordered on Amersham and Chesham Bois. The earliest records of Chesham as a settlement that have been discovered go back to the second half of the 10th century, although archaeological proof of people in this region from 8000 BC has been uncovered. The town is most broadly recognised for its 'four Bs'. This consists of boots, beer, brushes and Baptists. The prosperity of Chesham increased significantly across the 18th and 19th centuries because of the improvement of the manufacturing market. Employment inside the town today is offered primarily by independent companies engaged in light industry, technology and the professional services. Having a population of 20343, a number of shops, workshops and cottages may be located along the high street to meet customer demands of the residents. With regards to other towns in south Buckinghamshire, there's a small quantity of detached and owner-occupied homes, with a larger proportion of social rental accommodation. The continued increase in reputation of Chesham as a residential place since the second half of the twentieth century has meant that restrictions on housing development has been put in place within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Increasingly, residents in employment are commuters, utilising the convenient train links or vehicle, and several are home-based utilising technology to earn money. For all your property upgrades, ensure that that you use trustworthy professionals in Chesham to ensure that you get the top quality.

It’s not that difficult to join artificial grass, but if you have any doubt leave it to the professionals. Get in touch with a few artificial grass companies who will be able to tell you how much it will cost to lay artificial turf for you.

How much artificial grass costs depends on the quality of grass you choose, how big the area to be covered is, and whether you choose to have it installed or do it yourself. On average, you should expect to pay between £25 and £70 per m² to have artificial grass installed by a professional. That means a 30m² artificial lawn would cost between £750 and £2,100. So what will affect how much artificial grass costs? The quality of the artificial grass The quality of the artificial turf makes a big difference to the price. The lower end of the price range might not be quite right for a garden, since they often look extremely fake, and won’t last as long. Somewhere in the middle of the range should give you a good, long-lasting look without breaking the bank. Quality of the sub-base If you’re laying artificial grass on an existing lawn, this will need to be dug up to level out the area and add a weed-resistant membrane, creating what's called a sub-base. On average, the materials will cost £247 to make a sub-base. Whether you’ll need waste removal If you’re digging up the existing lawn or removing paving slabs to create a new sub-base, you might need a skip. A typical 4-yard skip will set you back around £220. Whether you’re doing DIY If you fancy having a go at laying your own artificial grass, you’ll of course save on labour costs. You’ll need to weigh up the benefits of DIY against the risks that the finish might not look as good or the grass might not last as long. But if you choose an average-quality artificial grass at £15 per m², 30m² of artificial grass will cost £450 not including the underlay as well as joining tape and adhesive.

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!

Choosing artificial grass instead of natural turf can save you a lot of time on garden maintenance. However, even artificial grass needs the odd clean every now and then to ensure it stays looking good and lasts a long time, so here are some top tips. Regular maintenance There are several ways to keep your grass in good condition. Try brushing your grass with a broom or plastic rake regularly to dislodge any dirt or debris. You could also use a leaf blower to remove any leaves, or a low-pressure hose to get rid of wetter dirt. Hopefully the weed membrane under the artificial grass will do its job, but if you do get any weeds you can use a water-based moss and weed killer – make sure the maximum pH is 8. When the weeds have died off, remove them as you would with any leaves or debris. Cleaning stains on your artificial grass If you spill a drink on your artificial grass, grab a paper towel and dab at it rather than rubbing it, as this will just work the stain into your grass. Rinse it with some water if necessary. If you notice a stain that’s been there for a while, mix a teaspoon of detergent with a pint of water in a bucket. Using a soft cloth or sponge, rub the solution onto the stain until it’s gone, and rinse with clean water. If the stain is sticky, water might not be enough to get rid of it. Try using a toothbrush to brush away the residue.
