Is it possible to simply place artificial grass directly on top of soil?

Regrettably, placing artificial grass directly on soil is not a recommended practice. While some sources may suggest it's acceptable, it's generally not advisable. Certain types of soil may have poor drainage characteristics, necessitating some level of excavation before installing artificial grass. Although laying artificial grass may appear straightforward, especially in smaller areas, simply placing it on soil can lead to problems down the line. Proper preparation is essential, including ensuring the area is level and incorporating a layer of chat gravel for optimal results.

Pet owners may wonder about handling their dogs' waste on artificial grass. Fortunately, some artificial grass products are designed with pets in mind. Urine and feces can be easily cleaned by hosing down the surface, alleviating any concerns associated with pet messes.

Is drainage necessary for artificial grass?

Effective drainage is crucial for artificial grass. Proper drainage prevents water from pooling on the surface, which can attract pests and foster harmful bacteria. The installation of a chat gravel sub-base beneath your artificial grass guarantees a reliable drainage system for your new lawn.

What keeps artificial grass in place?

Artificial grass is typically secured in place by one of three methods: laying it down, stapling it, or nailing it to a sublayer. The choice depends on the specific type of artificial grass you select, and our installers will determine the most suitable option for your needs. In cases where artificial grass is merely laid down, its weight alone is usually sufficient to keep it in place and prevent it from being blown away. However, for added stability, it can be further secured by stapling or nailing it down.
