Artificial Lawn Products For Gardens

No more mowing and the end of mud when you install a new artificial lawn! Is this the whole picture or will you be buying into an expensive weed and drainage problem? There are indeed some disadvantages to synthetic grass. These include high supply and installation costs compared with real turf in addition to some sanitary issues you must be aware of.

As the popularity of synthetic grass is growing, it appears this is indeed a practical solution to a perfect lawn. See the websites of our recommended suppliers for examples of artificial lawn installations.

Synthetic Grass Maintenance

Your lawn should require no attention for up to ten years if you have a sand infill synthetic grass. Occasional cleaning may be required but this occurs naturally when it rains. If pets use the artificial lawn then you should consult the pets section which discusses sanitation.

Please see the sports grass section if you are interested in how to keep your grass in good condition for sports use.

Weeds and drainage

Artificial lawn products are designed so water will pass through the base. Flooding should therefore not be a problem but it may be necessary to landscape your garden prior to astro turf installation. Landscaping would be a requirement if the ground is not reasonably flat.

A membrane prevents weeds from interfering with your synthetic grass. The weed membrane is laid during the installation process and is a standard feature of any artificial lawn.
