Where Can I Use Artificial Grass?

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern artificial grass is primarily crafted from UV-stabilised polyethylene for the soft, realistic green blades and polypropylene or nylon for the curly "thatch" layer that adds cushioning. These fibres are stitched into a heavy-duty backing made of woven fabric and finished with a durable latex or polyurethane coating. This construction is specifically designed to withstand the heavy rainfall and fluctuating temperatures we experience across the UK and Ireland without fading or rotting.
A high-quality artificial lawn typically lasts between 15 and 20 years, depending on the level of foot traffic and how well it is maintained. Our products are engineered with UV-stabilised materials to ensure the blades don't become brittle or discoloured under the sun, and the durable backing is built to withstand the damp UK and Irish climate. While the grass is incredibly low-maintenance, occasionally brushing the pile and removing organic debris will help extend its lifespan and keep it looking plush for two decades.
Yes, artificial grass is perfectly safe for pets and is a popular choice for dog owners across the UK and Ireland. It is manufactured using non-toxic, lead-free materials that are gentle on paws and tough enough to withstand digging or heavy play. Unlike natural turf, it won't become a muddy bog in the winter, and pet waste can be easily rinsed away through the integrated drainage system. For the best results with dogs, we recommend a polyurethane-backed grass, as it doesn't absorb liquids or odours, keeping your garden fresh and hygienic year-round.
Cleaning artificial grass is simple and far less demanding than maintaining a natural lawn. For general upkeep, simply use a stiff brush or plastic rake to remove leaves and organic debris, which prevents moss growth and keeps the blades upright. For spillages or pet mess, a quick rinse with a garden hose or a bucket of soapy water is usually all that’s required to keep the surface fresh. In the damp UK and Irish climate, an occasional spray with a specialist artificial grass cleaner can also help prevent algae and ensure your garden remains a hygienic, mud-free zone throughout the year.
Like any outdoor surface, artificial grass can absorb heat and feel warm underfoot during a spell of direct, intense sunshine. However, because our climate in the UK and Ireland is generally temperate, it rarely reaches uncomfortable temperatures for long. On those occasional scorching days, you can quickly cool the lawn down with a light spray from a garden hose or by using a sand infill, which helps regulate the temperature. Because the fibres are UV-stabilised, the heat won't cause the grass to melt or lose its vibrant green colour.
Absolutely. Modern artificial grass is a far cry from the bright green "plastic" look of the past. High-quality turf now features "multi-tone" technology, blending various shades of emerald, lime, and olive green to mimic the natural variations of a healthy lawn. To ensure total realism, we include a "thatch" layer—a mix of curly brown and tan fibres at the base—which gives the grass depth and that authentic, springy feel. When installed correctly, it provides a lush, perfectly manicured look that stays green and vibrant regardless of the unpredictable weather across the UK and Ireland.
Yes, it is entirely possible to install artificial grass as a DIY project if you are handy with basic tools and have the time to prepare the ground. The most critical part of the process is the base preparation—removing the existing sod and creating a solid, free-draining foundation of crushed stone and grit sand to prevent sinking or puddling. While many homeowners in the UK and Ireland successfully tackle small, square areas themselves, we often recommend professional installation for larger or irregular-shaped gardens. This ensures the seams are invisible, the drainage is perfect for our wet climate, and the edges are securely pinned for a flawless, long-lasting finish.
