Artificial turf frequently asked questions

Help & Advice

 

  • Why are Trulawn different?

    The key factors that differentiate Trulawn are:

    - The quality of our installation - we always add an aggregates sub-base.

    - We include skip hire/removal of waste within our pricing structure.

    - We are installers and not simply resellers of artificial grass and as such have an in-depth knowledge and passion for our product.

  • Is Maintenance necessary?

    A key advantage of our artificial grass is that it is virtually maintenance free. All we recommend you do is keep debris, leaves and pet mess off the synthetic surface – simply brush or blow these off. Then enjoy the long lifetime of your new artificial lawn.

  • Where can I use your artificial grass products?

    Lawns, balconies, patios, inside conservatories, children’s play areas, roof top terraces and swimming pools are probably the most popular applications. Our artificial turf products are also used at exhibitions and corporate events.

  • Tell me about installation

    We have an in-house team of specialist installers or we offer an easy to use self installation guide.

  • Can it be installed on any surface?

    Yes. We can lay the astro turf onto most surfaces. Turf, soil, concrete , tarmac, balconies, decked areas , paving, roof terraces and sloping areas.

  • What kind of base do you use?

    Trulawn always lay a sub-base which consists of a type 1 limestone aggregate. Limestone is the most porous type of aggregate and combined with a layer of sharp sand will ensure a stable and free draining base. The aggregate base is especially important if play equipment or trampolines are being used.

  • What about drainage?

    Water simply drains straight through as the synthetic grass has a holed backing.

  • Does the product fade from the sun?

    No, during the manufacturing process the grass is UV stabilized which will ensure that fading does not occur. All our products have an 8 year no fade guarantee.

  • How long will the product last for?

    The surface should last 15 years in areas of average volume of traffic and use. To ensure this keep the surface clear of debris.
