The first step of the process is understanding the design options. Working in close collaboration with our clients, we aim to ensure that your vision of the lawn you want is fulfilled to the maximum. The first thing to take a look at is drainage as some installation modifications may be necessary. Next the design takes the soil condition and irrigation into account. Our team is concerned with preventing future damage by considering existing design elements when we lay your lawn with new artificial grass. Then we take measurements and draw up our first draft of a complete design. We need to take things into account like the grass blade direction and any joints when laying artificial turf, which may be required depending on the size of the chosen area. The edging you want will also need to be considered. The most common in back gardens is to use sleepers especially when you have a straight edge as this creates a natural flower bed border. Where you have a natural edge such as decking, wall or patio the grass will be installed flush to the edge. Hopefully you can see how decisions on these different factors can influence the final cost option, especially if you want us to supply extra items such as sleepers or other forms of edge finishing which don't currently exist.

Ground Preparation before laying artificial turf

The next step of the installation process is ground preparation. This is the part where we deal with any electrical lines or irrigation channels that may be in the way under the surface of the plot where we will install your lawn. We then remove the sod and any other material that needs to be taken from the surface area and properly dispose of it. The next step is to prepare the base. Proper base preparation is crucial to the long term outlook of your artificial lawn, so our technicians at Artificial Grass Sheffield make sure to pay particularly close attention to it. Depending in the soil base additional aggregate may be required to assist with efficient drainage and any additional base layers will need to be taken into account when deciding on the type and level of grass edging. A weed membrane is then fitted on top of the aggregate follow by a layer of sand. The sand is carefully levelled off to provide a flat base on which to install the artificial turf itself.

Where fake grass is being fitted over a solid base such as decking or concrete once we first check the base for a smooth, clean finish and then use an artificial grass underlay before fitting the synthetic grass.

If you are having artificial turf installed for a play area then we will also be fitting shock absorbing pads before the final grass layer.

The next step of installation is actually laying synthetic grass, whilst this is normally green we can also install different colours which provide a more suitable artificial grass for schools. Before we unroll the synthetic grass mats that will be the basis of your lawn, we make sure not to drag them across the base ground we’ve just laboured to prepare, and position them all have the grain facing in the same direction. We then cut the rolls properly and carefully curve over the edges and secure the fake grass, Where there is a joint we use an adhesive strip to keep the two separate rolls together as close as possible to minimise any visibility of a join. Next comes the part where we attach the artificial turf to the border of the project area up to the edging. After it is put in place, we test the irrigation and electrical systems to make sure everything had been done correctly. As installation can be weather dependent, there may be instances where the weather inhibits us from completing the job in the timeframe given. On the occasions this may happen as we are local across Sheffield so being near to you we'll be able to finish your job as soon as the weather allows again rather than leaving your lawn half finished to start on other jobs.

Finish off your artificial grass installation - infill and cleanup

Once everything has been fitted and tested we take away any excess turf - unless you want to keep it. For some grasses we will infill. This is where we fill in the fake grass with sand to get that structure we really want. We keep repeating this process all over the project area until it has taken the form that we intend. After infill is complete, we just gently water the area to settle the material. Infill can be adjusted after it dries. We then clean up, which is done in a professional and environmentally responsible manner. Removing all waste and materials is part of the job. Your artificial lawn will be sparkling clean when we've finished.
