Artificial grass installation is a great investment for your outside spaces. When done right, it can be a hard-wearing and maintenance free alternative to real turf.
No mowing, no mud, and a luscious green lawn all-year-round.
In an attempt to save money, some people choose to forego professional artificial grass installation. Instead, they buy the grass online and install it themselves. Unfortunately, this is where things often start to go wrong.
We’ve seen grass with ripples caused by stretching. We’ve been to fix grass that is curling up at the corners. Other problems include weeds poking through and grass with the texture of an old, worn doormat!
With professional artificial grass installation by a reputable company, these issues very rarely exist.
First up, inferior quality artificial grass tends to flatten and stretch, causing ripples and lifting at the borders. And there’s no magic cure for a bad product. There is always a danger with buying online as it’s impossible to know the quality you’re getting.
But a reputable company tries and tests the products they use, to ensure a good quality lawn when they’re finished.
It’s likely they’ll provide a range of different piles (grass length) and shades of green to suit various budgets. A good installer will ask lots of questions about how you use your garden and recommend the best option to suit your needs.
Artificial grass installation is all about the base. It’s much more important than the quality of the grass. In fact, even the most luxurious artificial grass will fail if it’s placed on top of uneven, unprepared soil.
At The Home Improvement Project, our artificial grass installation starts with digging out the current garden to remove old grass, weeds and any large stones.
Then, we create a new firm, flat base to make sure your new grass stays in place.
The last bit of preparation is to cover the base in waterproof material to prevent water logging and to minimise the risk of weed penetration.
The result is a natural-looking, beautiful lawn that will last for years to come.
When installing artificial grass, you should think about future plans for your garden. The last thing you want to do is pull the grass back up later to make way for a new patio!
When you choose The Home Improvement Project, you have the freedom to completely renovate your garden by combining artificial grass installation with one of our other services. Perhaps a resin boundbarbecue area or path?
