Questions about artificial grass



There are many types of base which you can use. An acceptable hard base would be Tarmac, Asphalt or Concrete and it's generally better if it is porous.

 If you wish to install on top of concrete then you need to be careful that the edges of any slabs do not show through. You could cover the concrete with a layer of sand, or even better install a rubber shock pad between the concrete and the artificial grass.

This type of cover, sand or shock pad, is also needed when you overlay where 2 different materials are joined. One final point is that if the surface is impermeable. Concrete, then a slight slope to aid run off is advised. Alternatively sub surface drainage can be installed.

We are here to tell you that an artificial turf lawn, done right, will give you healthy looking, green grass without the costly and tiresome maintenance of golf green. So say goodbye to watering, mowing, fading, edging, fertilizing, chemicals, pet damage, pests, and allergies. Not to mention, its eco-friendly, helping you save on water.

The correct type of landscape lawn combined with highly skilled seaming techniques will ensure invisible seams. The pile height is descriptive of the length of turf and the density is the number of yarns per square inch. Both are critical components of quality. You have to see and touch them to appreciate the difference.

There is no advantage to a rubberized infill for most residential applications, although it is cheaper and easier to work with for the installer--we simply refuse to cut corners. The newest generation of residential synthetic turf provides its own cushioning and there is minimal need for infill. We use a clean, specialty sand-like material, which means no bits of rubber are tracked into your home. Rubber infill is best suited for use on athletic fields.
