How the experts install real grass?
The type of turf you choose mainly depends on your preference, and on your garden’s climate conditions. Real turf is very toddler-friendly and is mostly preferred by families with children. It has many benefits, some of which are the ability to purify the air and to absorb noise and air pollution. This is the general approach of how to install real turf:
- Clear the area. The professional landscapers always start with area clearance. They will remove every unwanted object, such as rocks, plants, pavement, deckings, old turf and vegetation.
- Add and level the soil. If there isn’t enough soil in the area that will be turfed, they will add such and level it with a compactor or lawn roller.
- Apply a layer of topsoil. A layer of topsoil is going to be applied on top of the levelled area. This is a mixture of compost and soil. If needed the experts will add some fertiliser, too.
- Lay the turf rolls. The turves are slightly overlapped, so that they can join together.
- Edge the lawn.The new lawn will be properly edged so that the turf doesn’t invade flowerbeds or other garden features.
- Receive a detailed maintenance plan for your new lawn.
Depending on the soil, season, and weather conditions in the garden, your new turf may need more extensive watering. After a month the watering should be cut down to once or twice a week so that the grass' root system can establish deeper. After that comes grass cutting that should be done on the highest setting of the mower.
How we install artificial grass
Artificial grass is very appropriate for people who don’t have the physical ability to mow, weed and take general care of their lawns. It is also a great low-maintenance solution for rental properties. Or for people who travel a lot during the year, but want to have a nice-looking garden when they come back home in London. This is how the installation process goes:
- The artificial turf laying also starts with site clearance. All unwanted vegetation, rocks and other objects will be removed.
- The area will then be levelled properly, by digging out or adding soil, and compacting it afterwards.
- A layer of heavy duty anti-weed membrane will be installed to block weeds from growing through the fake turf.
- A frame of joist will be installed for stability, after which it will be filled with sharp sand.
- The artificial turf will be installed with adhesive, which can differ depending on the type of fake turf used. The adhesive is used to keep the lawn at its place. The experts may also need to brush silica sand on top of the artificial turf, but they will advise you on that during the survey.
Artificial turf can be laid on all kinds of surfaces. It is perfect for balconies, rooftop gardens, cafes, offices, playgrounds and for domestic properties. It is very pet-friendly and doesn’t get damaged by the pets.
Just like real turf, artificial grass also has different varieties. The surveyor will advise you which one is best for your property during the viewing.
