Artificial grass is an alternative choice to a natural lawn. It requires very little maintenance because you won’t have to mow it or handle mud in the winter. Today, artificial grass is made up of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They have commonly been used in commercial conditions, however they are becoming increasingly preferred in people’s residences. You can lay artificial grass on practically any surface, regardless of whether it is flat or sloping. It's safe for children and pets, and it also drains like genuine grass so you will not end up with puddles. It is environmentally friendly as you will not need to water it and there's no reason to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get up to 20 years out of your artificial grass with no maintenance and hassle. It will not fade or flatten as time passes, and it will retain its colour right until the end of its life.

Buxton is a spa town in Derbyshire. It's on the border of the county boundary, with Cheshire towards the west and Staffordshire to the south, Buxton is often known as 'The Gateway to the Peak District National Park'. Traditionally a municipal borough, Buxton joined with other localities in 1974 to establish the local government district and borough of High Peak in the county of Derbyshire. Being 300 metres above sea level, Buxton is often referred to as England's highest market town. This height means that the town is usually cooler than nearby areas, with the daytime temperature being about 2 degrees C lower than the temperature in Manchester. Situated on the River Wye and overlooked by Axe Edge Moor, Buxton is historically a spa town as a result of the geothermal spring that rises at a constant temperature of 28 degrees C. The water from the spring flows to St. Ann's Well by way of a pipe system which is positioned opposite the Crescent in close proximity to the centre of Buxton. Buxton gained a lot of popularity after the spa was recommended by Erasmus Darwin to Josiah Wedgwood in the later half of the 19th century. The water from the geothermal spring is also bottled and sold on an international scale by Buxton Mineral Water Company. According to the 2011 Census, the population of the town is about 22,115. The town has witnessed continued growth since the coming of the railway in 1863. There is also a relatively prominent student population, with the Devonshire Campus of the University of Derby being in one of Buxton's historic buildings.

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!
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!
