The Base Makes the Lawn

Most problems with artificial grass come from a poor base. We dig out the old lawn, lay a weed membrane and add a compacted layer of crushed stone. A fine layer of sharp sand or grit goes on top. This gives a flat, firm surface that lets rain drain straight through.

A Lawn for Shade, Pets and Children

Real grass struggles in deep shade, under trees and where dogs or children wear it down. Artificial grass handles all of these. It does not turn to mud in winter or go brown in summer. Pet waste can be cleared and the area rinsed, and the base below lets it drain away.

Neat Joins and Firm Edges

Rolls of artificial grass are joined with tape and glue underneath, with the pile running the same way so the joins are hard to spot. The edges are fixed down against a firm border, such as timber or paving. Kiln dried sand is often brushed in to help the fibres stand up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does artificial grass installation take in Alton?

Most artificial grass installations in Alton take one to three days. A small back lawn can often be done in a day. Larger gardens, awkward shapes or lots of digging out add time. The weather has less effect than with real turf, but very wet ground can slow down the base work.

How long does artificial grass last in a Hampshire garden?

Good quality artificial grass usually lasts 10 to 15 years in a Hampshire garden. How long it lasts depends on the quality of the grass, how well the base was built and how much use it gets. Brushing it now and then and clearing fallen leaves helps it keep looking good for longer.

Is artificial grass good for dogs in Alton?

Yes, artificial grass works well for dog owners in Alton. It does not get muddy patches or yellow spots. Solid waste can be picked up and the area hosed down. A good drainage base under the grass lets urine wash through, which helps stop smells building up on warm days.
