Help & Advice

 
  • 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?

    Each job is different and the determining factor is the quality of drainage. The majority of the time we lay onto a base of sand or in cases when the drainage is not good we will lay a firmer sub–base using additional aggregate.

  • 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.

  • 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.
