forum41 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hello there, just a quick question. I'm thinking about getting Astro Turf in my garden. If I bought it off the Internet, would a regular gardener be able to lay it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springer Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 A number of my customers are beginning to ask for astro turf and we lay it. The surface underneath needs to be prepared well. We take off the top surface, using a digger if we can, then compact the solid ground underneath. We would then put in the grass perimeter - generally wood with stakes. We then fill in with compacted aggregate, then sand. Finally the grass - this needs seaming and pinning. Its rather like preparing the ground for laying a drive. I prefer real grass but can see why more customers are wanting us to take up the grass and lay the artificial type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forum41 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Many thanks for your reply. I am just in the initial stages of thinking about it, weighing up cost & low maintenance against having to drag myself into the garden every couple of weeks to maintain it (I have a lovely garden, but I hate gardening)! Depending on cost, I would probably be looking to get it done in the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz7 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi we are thinking of having artificial lawn and have received some samples which look good and aren't a bad price but the fitting was a bit steep. Does anyone know anyone that installs this but for a reasonable price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
