What kind of base do you use to install Artificial Grass

One of the main reasons to buy artificial grass is to save yourself from muddy messes. Art Grass always lay an aggregate sub-base when installing to ensure easy and free draining. After the existing lawn is removed to a depth of between 60mm and 80mm, a stabilisation geo-textile is laid to prevent any materials migrating into the ground. A sub-base consisting of type 1 limestone is then installed to a depth of between 40mm and 60mm. Limestone is a porous type of aggregate, which allows for reliable drainage. Then a layer of grano dust is installed to a depth of between 15mm and 25mm. Both of these layers are compacted individually and smoothed off at an even and consistent level ensuring a stable draining base for years to come.

Can artificial grass be laid on a playground?

Artificial grass can be laid on almost any surface that is flat, and in good condition. We provide soft, child-friendly Artificial Grass playground surface. If you would like to convert an area of hard playground with artificial grass without taking up the existing surface, then we can provide a lay only solution. In these cases artificial grass is often installed with a shock pad layer underneath. This provides a softer feel underfoot which is closer to the feel of natural earth. We can also provide Rubber Edging around the perimeter of the grass to reduce trip hazards from crossing from one surface to another.
