How to Install Fake Grass on a Slope

 Do the preparation as per a standard installation. Don’t lay the weed control material yet. Install the timber edging paying special attention to creating a sound supporting edge at the top of the slope.


Spread type 1 sub-base across the slope to a depth of 2 to 3-inches and press it down by hand. Be careful not to push it all down the slope. Apply a coating of granite dust to a depth of 1-inch.


Tamp the sub-base and granite dust down with a piece of heavy timber. Don’t use a Wacker plate on a slope. Fit the weed control membrane on top of the sub-base to help bind the aggregates.


Install the synthetic grass as normal nailing it to the edges.

Why good drainage is essential for synthetic grass:

 Prevents water buildup: Efficient drainage prevents water from accumulating on the surface, which can cause problems like waterlogged areas, puddling, and flooding. Reduces maintenance: Proper drainage reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance of the synthetic turf. Standing water can create an environment for mold, algae, and bacteria growth, which would require more extensive cleaning. Increases longevity: Synthetic grass that has excellent drainage can last longer because it’s less susceptible to damage caused by water exposure. Waterlogged turf can deteriorate over time, reducing its overall lifespan. Enhances usability: A well-drained synthetic grass surface remains usable even after heavy rain, making it suitable for various activities and sports in different weather conditions. Eco-friendly: Proper drainage ensures that rainwater is effectively absorbed into the soil or directed towards appropriate drainage systems rather than becoming runoff, which could carry...

Types Of Artificial Grass Infill

 What is artificial grass infill? Synthetic turf infill is a material used to provide stability, support, and certain playing characteristics to artificial grass installations. It is typically spread over the turf’s backing and in between the grass fibers to create a stable surface. Different types of infill materials are available, each with its specific uses and benefits.

Here are the key advantages of using artificial turf in such areas

 1. Water Conservation: Artificial turf doesn’t require watering, unlike natural grass. This is the most significant advantage in drought-prone regions, as it directly helps conserve significant amounts of water that would otherwise be used for irrigation. 2. Reduced Maintenance Water Needs: Artificial turf needs minimal maintenance water compared to natural grass. While occasional rinsing might be required to clean the turf, it’s far less water-intensive than regular watering of a grass lawn. 3. Year-Round Green Appearance: Artificial turf maintains a lush green appearance regardless of the season or weather conditions. Natural grass often turns brown during droughts or water restrictions, leading to an unsightly appearance. 4. No Need for Fertilizers and Pesticides: Natural grass requires fertilizers and pesticides to stay healthy. Artificial turf eliminates the need for these chemicals, which can potentially contaminate water sources during runoff. 5. Consistent Water Bill Savin...
