Looking to transform your outdoor area but not quite sure what is possible? With SmartGrass, you’re only limited by your ideas, because our professional installers can turn almost any surface into a picture-perfect space.
The key to installing SmartGrass is to create a solid base to work with, and from there, the options are almost limitless! Replace your existing lawn, turn concrete into grass, upgrade your decking or timber areas, or cover up your old pavers or brick paths.
We’re going to run through exactly why SmartGrass is the smart choice, and what is possible with a little ingenuity and the right team behind you.
Laying SmartGrass on soil is the most common way to use our premium artificial grass, and the best way to add new life to your property. The key to laying SmartGrass is to prepare your soil first (proper preparation prevents poor performance after all!). By compacting the ground and adding a layer of crushed rock for drainage, you’ll end up with the best long-term result.
The further you dig down into your existing lawn or soil (to a depth of 100mm is ideal), the better chance you have of establishing a solid base for your new lawn.
By upgrading to SmartGrass, not only will you have an eye-catching lawn all year round, but you’ll save yourself all the hard work involved with maintaining it. No need to mow, fertilise, weed, or water your lawn just to keep up with the weather!
Laying artificial grass over concrete is just as easy as replacing an existing lawn, because you already have a solid base to start with. The key to converting concrete to artificial grass is by making sure it’s cleaned, patched (if there are any cracks), and that you have proper drainage (such as our specifically designed drainage mat).
This sweet little upgrade adds new life to duller zones and can transform outdoor spaces into multi-purpose areas. Picture your al fresco entertaining area or patio being your new putting green, or your kids and pets being able to run around freely, enjoying the new lawn. It’s all possible with SmartGrass.
Laying SmartGrass over timber is one of the more creative ways to use artificial grass. Much like laying SmartGrass over concrete or soil, the key is to make sure your base is solid and drainage is working correctly. This is vital when laying grass over timber, as excess moisture can quickly damage the timber and cause rotting. Installing drainage if required, such as our drainage mat, and cleaning the surface before beginning will start you off on the right foot.
Not only is this a unique way to use SmartGrass, but it can also add a new purpose to areas and even some handy benefits, such as reducing slipping risk when it rains. If you’re ready to create a stunning new grassed area, get in contact with our team for some advice on how best to transform your timber decking into the perfect lawn.
We love thinking outside the box, and we’re happy to help you find a solution for any surface you have, whether it’s gravel, asphalt, paved or brick paths, or large terraces, and butanol balconies. As long as the surfaces are prepared properly with a solid base and good drainage, we can transform your area into a beautiful artificial lawn.
It’s one thing to tell you what’s possible, and another thing to actually walk you through how your property can be upgraded and transformed with artificial grass. Our team is on hand to help you see exactly what is possible when you choose a premium product from a professional team. Just give us a call or send us a message!
