Frequently Asked Questions:
Do you lay artificial grass on soil?
Soil is not a great foundation for your artificial grass. To ensure a stable, long-lasting installation, the soil needs to be properly prepared. To do this, our installation team will remove the top layer of vegetation, level the ground, and install a sub-base made of crushed rock or gravel.
What goes under artificial grass?
We want to ensure your artificial grass is even and stable. To help us do this, we install a sub-base before adding your selected artificial grass product. This creates a solid foundation for your grass, ensuring excellent stability, strength and drainage.
When should I lay my artificial grass?
Artificial grass can be laid anytime of the year!
