Artificial grass is a great alternative choice to a natural lawn. It demands very little upkeep since you will not have to mow it or cope with mud in the winter. Today, artificial grass consists of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They have commonly been applied in industrial situations, however they are becoming more and more well-liked in people’s homes. It is possible to lay artificial grass on practically any surface, whether it is flat or sloping. It is safe for children and pets, and it drains like actual grass so you will not end up with puddles. It’s environmentally friendly as you won’t have to water it and there's no need to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get up to 20 years out of your artificial grass without any upkeep and hassle. It won’t fade or flatten after some time, and it will retain its colour right until the end of its life.

Barking is a town and district within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. It is 14.2 km east of Charing Cross and is among the 35 key centres named in the London Plan. Historically, it was a fishing settlement in Essex and an ancient parish. Then it shifted to market gardening and industrial development to the south, adjacent to the River Thames.
Barking quickly developed into a bigger town and its rail station opened in 1854. It has been served by the London Underground since 1908. Throughout the 20th century, when there was significant suburban growth of London, Barking expanded and increased in population. This was primarily due to the building of the London County Council estate at Becontree inside the 1920s. Barking became a municipal borough in 1931 and part of Greater London in 1965.
The town centre is a significant retail and commercial district which is presently in plans for regeneration. There are former industrial lands towards the south which are currently being redeveloped as Barking Riverside, which aims to regenerate the Thames riverside area of East London by way of new homes, jobs and services. It is made up of 350 acres of brownfield land, and development began in 2008. It's anticipated to be finished by about 2025. 10,000 houses are going to be built, which are expected to house 25,000 people. The developers will also deliver new transport links, such as East London Transit plus an extension of the Docklands Light Railway at Barking Riverside DLR station.

Instantly found an installer who came out and gave fantastic advice
Laying artificial grass is a popular project – it’s a great way to create a smart, low-maintenance garden. There are plenty of professionals around who are experts at installing artificial grass, but it’s possible to DIY too if you’re feeling confident.
Lots of homeowners choose to replace their existing turf with artificial grass, so lay it on soil. To do this, start by clearing the area of any greenery or turf. Then remove any extra soil to a depth of about 40mm. You might want to leave the centre of your area slightly higher than the edges for a more natural look.
Next, you need to add a weed membrane and a sharp sand sub-base. It doesn’t really matter which one of these you do first, but you might find it easier to lay the weed membrane first and then use the sand to weigh it down, to a depth of about 35mm. Use a rake and plank to make the sand level, and compact it with a plank and heavy hammer. It doesn’t need to be completely flat – gentle slopes are fine. The weed membrane should overlap joints by 300mm.
After you’ve done this, you can lay your grass. Roll it out, trim it to size and fasten it in place. Make sure the ends of the grass rolls are staggered so they don’t end in a line. Lay the artificial grass with the pile (the strands) leaning towards the house so it looks nice and full when you’re looking out from the house. If you’ve decided to use edging boards, you can nail the grass into the tops of the boards. Or, if you haven’t, use ground pins to anchor it into the soil. Brush the grass and you’re done!
Laying artificial grass on concrete needs a slightly different approach to if you’re installing it over soil. The good news is that it’s much less labour intensive, as you don’t need to do any digging or levelling.
Ideally, your concrete base should be in good condition, and have an adequate fall on it to provide efficient drainage. If it doesn’t, you might have to do some repair work or drill some drainage holes first.
When you’re ready to start, begin by cleaning your concrete base. Use a jet wash or a hose and brush to dislodge and disperse any dirt or plant growth. Once it’s clean, leave it to dry completely.
Then, you need to fit an underlay - usually it’s made of foam. This will provide padding to make your artificial grass softer and more comfortable to walk on. It will also help to level out any slopes on uneven parts on the concrete. Make sure it’s a good-quality underlay that’s permeable – if it’s not, you could end up with damp artificial grass and nasty smells as it will hold moisture. Roll out the underlay and cut it to shape, taping any separate sections together.
Next, use an adhesive to secure the underlay to your concrete. Make sure you leave gaps in the adhesive to allow water to drain off easily. Leave the glue to dry, then you can start laying your grass.
Roll out your grass like you did with your underlay, cutting it to shape and joining any separate sections together with artificial grass tape. Then glue the grass to the underlay. Leave it dry, give the grass a brush, and it’ll be ready to use!
