Installing artificial grass requires expertise, precision, and attention to detail. At Lawnify, we handle every step of the process to ensure a flawless finish, creating a durable, low-maintenance lawn that looks and feels just like real grass. Here’s an in-depth look at how we install artificial grass:
1. Preparing the Edges
The process begins with inspecting and securing the edges of the area. Whether you prefer a sharp, formal border or a softer, curved look, we carefully prepare and install edging details to create a clean, professional finish.
2. Clearing the Area
We remove any existing grass, soil, or debris to a depth that allows for a fully porous artificial grass installation. This step is crucial for ensuring proper drainage and a stable foundation for your new lawn.
3. Installing the Weed Barrier
A high-quality geotextile membrane is laid across the area to prevent weed growth and promote efficient water drainage. This ensures your artificial lawn stays neat and low-maintenance.
4. Preparing the Base
A layer of aggregate is laid, compacted, and levelled using specialised equipment. This forms a strong, durable base that supports the artificial grass and ensures a perfectly even surface.
5. Optional Pet-Friendly Treatment
For pet owners, we can apply an odour-reducing treatment at this stage. This helps keep your artificial grass hygienic and fresh, making it ideal for families with furry friends.
6. Laying and Joining the Grass
The artificial grass is carefully rolled out and trimmed to fit the area. Using commercial-grade joints and adhesives, we ensure each section is seamlessly joined, creating a smooth and durable surface.
7. Sand Infill and Brushing
A layer of specialist sand is applied using a drop spreader to provide stability and weight to the grass. The surface is then mechanically brushed to lift the fibres and enhance the grass’s natural appearance.
8. Final Clean-Up
Once the installation is complete, our team cleans the area, leaving you with a pristine, ready-to-use artificial lawn.
The Result
The end result is a stunning, hassle-free lawn that stays lush and green all year round, with minimal upkeep required. Whether it’s a family garden, a play area for kids, or a pet-friendly space, Lawnify ensures every installation is tailored to your needs.
