the artificial grass is correctly installed it will drain efficiently.

[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”What sort of base is recommended for my artificial lawn?”]
We routinely recommend a good drainage system of crushed hardcore followed
by a layer of crushed sand however, if the area already has good drainage a
suitable quantity of crushed sand would suffice. Artificial grass can be installed
over concrete but we recommend EverLawn® Shock Pad Underlay if you want to
play on the grass area.

germinating weeds and biodegradable matter that decompose resulting in soil
formation.

domestic use. Heavy use in one concentrated area may have an adverse affect.

you DIY?”]

a DIY enthusiast, in good physical health, using appropriate tools (see our
installation page).

[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”Does it fade in the sun?”]
Fading will not occur. EverLawn® artificial grass has a ten year UV
manufacturer’s warranty. The initial ‘New sheen’ appearance will disappear
following a few days of rain.
[/vc_toggle]
[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”Does the grass have a directional pile?”]
Only on landscape products and when first unrolled. This is created by the
manufacturing process but, unlike other products, brushing with a stiff broom
against the pile will lift the fibers. Walking on it thereafter will mix the fibers
together giving the appearance of a natural lawn.
[/vc_toggle]
[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”Can I barbeque on it?”]
Not recommended. Hot materials will damage the turf. Areas of turf can be
replaced however prevention is the easier option than to repair.

[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”What if I damaged an area do I have to have all the lawn replaced?”]
Damaged areas can be replaced with new artificial grass. Request or save an off
cut to ensure the same shade of colour.
[/vc_toggle]
[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”How do I fix the artificial grass down?”]
After the excavation a treated timber template is applied to the desired shape.
The artificial grass overlap of 100mm is then fixed to the outer edge of the
treated timber. We do supply EverLawn adhesive which adheres to almost any
surface. For DIY installations almost any material can be used to anchor it down
but the grass must be secured at distances no greater than 500mm. Please see
our DIY section on our home page.

[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”How easy is it to cut and shape artificial grass?”]
The use of a sharp Stanley knife is essential and, therefore best undertaken with
caution. Cutting the underside is easy to cut any shape required.
[/vc_toggle]
[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”Will weeds grow on the artificial grass?”]
Weeds cannot grow through. Should anchorage occur on the surface area weeds
are easily removed. Prevention is by means of removing biodegradable matter
which would otherwise decompose to form a soil base.
[/vc_toggle]
[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”Do I need to worry about insects?”]
An artificial grass surface will eliminate 99% of insects. Those you do find will
most likely be non- resident and merely passing through.
[/vc_toggle]
[vc_toggle open=”false” title=”Can I plant any plants into the artificial grass after it has been fitted?”]
Yes, but your plant will need enough depth and width to expand their roots into
nutritional soil. The grass can be cut to the desired shape and the depth needed
for growth must be excavated and then filled with the recommended soil and
potting mixture.

matting first.
