One of the key considerations about whether it is the right time to install artificial grass is often budget, but aside from money, is there an ideal time to have it installed? If you’re unsure about when to make the change, we’ve got some advice to help you out. Here are some of the other main factors that help people choose what time of year to have their artificial grass installed…
When the ground is softer
Spring and Autumn are great times to install artificial grass from a practical perspective. The ground is softer during these periods which makes it easier to excavate and remove the soil. It’s also easier to roll out and fit the grass when the air is warmer. The grass can warm up and is more flexible after being rolled up in transit and in storage.
Outside of peak times
Everyone wants to have the perfect lawn for Summer, so peak installation starts in Spring and runs all the way through to late Summer. If you want your lawn done sooner rather than later, it’s best to get your enquiry in as early as possible. Or if you’re not in a rush, the turnaround between initial enquiry and installation is much shorter in the Autumn/Winter months.
In anticipation of future problems
Does your lawn struggle during a particular season? If you know it’s going to have problems at a specific time of the year then essentially you have a countdown by which to solve it! Install your artificial grass before your own lawn becomes tricky to use, then you know you’re not going to have a hassle in the future.
Whenever you want to use it
Artificial grass solves a lot of problems for people with hard to manage lawns. It can have a transformative effect on a garden, so much so, that you might find yourself using it much more than before. If you’d like to be able to use your lawn all year round then the ideal time to fix it is whenever you want!
