When you have completed the preparation stage such as measuring simply how much artificial grass you may need, installing appropriate drainage (if possible) and removing the natural grass layer, you may be in a position to install your artificial grass lawn. This article outlines the steps it is best to follow to assist you to finish the job right, from laying the base, connecting joints and preventing weed growth.
Lay Gravel Base then Sharp Sand
If required, use treated timber/timber stakes to put inside an area frame. We recommend 4 X 2 inches of tantalised treated timber for heavy clay soil areas and poorly draining areas and two X 2 inches of tantalised timber once and for all draining areas. Screw these timbers into the stakes leaving the stakes on the inside of the perimeter. Should the Artificial Grass meet a concrete path, wall or decking, position the timber flush along with the surface height and also by using 10mm temporary fillet, pack the timber next to the wall leaving the room to enable you to tuck the Artificial Grass involving the timber and the adjoining material for a later stage.
Position the stakes with the inner perimeter timber edging and hammer in to the ground ensuring the stakes are slightly much less than the timber edging. Next screw the timber stake on the timber edging.
With heavy clay soils we recommend laying a crushed stone surface of up to 3 inches. This will not be necessary for the majority of areas and simply required if you have a higher water table where ground holds water for an extended period of your energy after it rains. Next compact the floor with a vibrating plate that may be hired from an equipment hire company. Ensure that the perimeter is compacted and underneath the timber edging by 1 inch. Infill the perimeter with sharp sand and level by using a rake. Guarantee the sand is level to # 1 of your timber edging and compact again.
Forever drainage areas spread a layer of sharp sand to blind across the soil. Next compact the earth using a vibrating plate that could be hired from an equipment hire company. Make sure the perimeter is compacted and level with the timber edging.
Should you put more operate in during this period, your Artificial Grass Lawn will appear better therefore.
Weed Control Layer
Apply the weed control geo textile membrane and cut as necessary. Tack using small 1 inch galvanised clout nails to the timber edging. This weed control geo textile membrane prevents any chance for weed growth with the drainage board drainage holes.
Roll out Artificial Grass
Lay the Artificial Grass in the desired direction working away at the carpet but not in the levelled base. Guarantee the carpet is positioned to minimise cuts, joints and waste overlaying the timber edging by no less than 4 inches. In the event the artificial grass meets a path or edge, and for those who have laid the timber edging correctly as previously described, then this artificial grass may be wedged between. If joining, please ensure that the artificial grass is laid together with the pile running during the same direction on every piece. Lay the carpet over the sand compared to dragging it across the base material. To assist stop wrinkles or creasing you should allow 2 to 3 hours to settle before continuing with jointing and adhesive. Cut grass to shape with a sharp Dolphin or Stanley knife or scissors.
