Artificial grass is a great alternative solution to a natural lawn. It demands very little maintenance because you won’t need to mow it or handle mud in the winter. Nowadays, artificial grass consists of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They've commonly been used in commercial conditions, but are becoming a lot more well-liked in people’s properties. You can lay artificial grass on virtually any surface, regardless of whether it's flat or sloping. It's safe for young children and pets, plus it drains like real grass so you won’t end up with puddles. It is environmentally friendly as you won’t need to water it and there's no need to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get as much as 20 years out of your artificial grass without any maintenance and hassle. It will not fade or flatten as time passes, and it will retain its colour right till the end of its life. In the event you need a local pro to lay artificial grass for you, simply fill in the form and we’ll put you in contact with as much as four contractors who will give you a cost-free, no obligation quote.

Colyton is a town in Devon, England. It lies within the East Devon neighborhood authority area. It is 3 miles (4.8 kilometres) from Seaton and 6 miles (9.7 kilometres) from Axminster. Its population in 1991 was 2,783, reducing to 2,105 at the 2011 Census. Colyton is a major part of the Coly Valley electoral ward. The ward population at the above census was 4,493. Colyton first looked like an old village around 700 AD and also functions in the Domesday Book as 'Culitone'. The 3rd code of regulation of King Edmund I was released at Colyton in about 945. This helped to support feudal culture, by stating clearly its four columns: kingship, lordship, family members, and area. It became an essential agricultural centre and market town with a corn mill, saw mill, iron shop and an oak bark tannery that is still operating. Situated 0.5 miles (0.8 kilometres) to the north of the community was Colcombe Castle, currently destroyed, a former seat of the Courtenay household, Earls of Devon. Following the attainder of the Marquis of Exeter the Courtenay lands escheated to the Crown, as well as those within Colyton were offered back for £1,000 to different citizens of Colyton church, as listed in an action transcribed in the Letters as well as Documents of Henry VIII dated 6 January 1547, summed up as "John Clarke and also others. Grant in totally free socage, based on rental fees and so on (specified), for l,000 l, of the following lands (extents offered) in the parish of Colyton, which are parcels of Colyton chateau, Devon, and also belonged to Henry Marquis of Exeter, attainted". This was the beginning of the Feoffees of Colyton, who continued to keep in typical numerous residential or commercial properties in the parish. The town has actually been referred to as "one of the most rebellious community in Devon" as a result of the number of its citizens who joined the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685.

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!
