How to replace natural turf with artificial grass in UAE

Follow these steps to ensure a lush-looking lawn, no more degradation or muddy paws-all year round!

1. Measure your area

Work out the width and length of the area you want to cover with artificial grass, considering any joins you may need to have.

2. Gather your tools and equipment

Gather the materials that you will need to install your artificial turf. These will include your geotextile weed killer, a turf cutter, a Stanley knife and accessories, such as tape and glue.

3. Remove the existing surface

This can be done by hand if it is a relatively small area being fitted with artificial grass. For larger areas, use a turf cutter. However, it must be taken into account to never build your base on top soil!

4. Compact the ground

Confidently compact the ground by using a vibrating plate or roller. These can usually be hired from equipment hire centres for inexpensive prices.

5. Place grass edging down (optional)

Should you desire to use timber or other edging, place this down now. Ensure that edging is not higher than the final grass line, to allow the water to run-off the turf.

6. Lay your sand or stone base

Place down a minimum of 40mm of sharp and compacted sand or stone. If the sand is too dry, add a little wet sand.

7. Compact the ground again

Confidently compact the ground by using a vibrating plate or roller. These can usually be hired from equipment hire centres for inexpensive prices.

8. Roll out your underlay and grass

Roll out your artificial grass. Remember, your grass has a directional pile, so it will all need to face the same way if you have any joins.

We recommend laying the grass with the pile leaning towards your house or main area so that it looks more natural.

If you are installing a performance pad, put this down in between the underlay and grass layer.

9. Let the grass settle

It is advisable to now let your fake grass settle for a minimum of three hours and if possible, overnight. This will stop the grass from wrinkling or creasing.

10. Join any pieces together (if required)

In order to compose the joins of your grass, use our high-quality outdoor tape and glue, following the instructions on the products. Lay the tape (shiny side down) and apply the adhesive, before pulling the grass edges together and applying some weight to them. This can be achieved with plant pots, stones or other heavy materials.

11. Trim the edges

After the settling process is complete, cut and trim the artificial grass, using a sharp Stanley knife, ensuring the grass is cut neatly around the edges.

12. Pin it down

When fitting our artificial turf, pin it down using landscaping pins. Should you be using a timber frame, you will need to utilise flat-headed galvanised nails.

13. Brush the grass up and relax!

Finally, the fiber may be relatively flat from being rolled up, so be sure to brush against the pile to bring the fibers of the artificial grass upright. Then sit back and enjoy your artificial grass lawn!

How to lay artificial grass on concrete or paving slabs

The use of artificial grass UAE on existing hard surfaces is becoming more popular. Follow this guide for fitting perfect artificial grass on concrete.

1. Measure your area

Work out the width and length of the area you want to cover with artificial grass, considering any joins you may need to have.

2. Clear the area

When installing and laying artificial grass on concrete, ensure that the concrete area has been brushed and cleaned down thoroughly. It is important that all debris is removed, in order to assess whether the surface is level enough to lay the artificial grass on the concrete surface.

3. Roll out your Performance Pad

When laying artificial grass on concrete, we recommend using one of our Performance Pads – particularly for larger areas as this will cushion the area. Roll this out onto the area to be covered and join with glue and tape.

4. Lay your turf

Roll out your turf onto the area you wish to cover. It is best practice to leave around 50mm of grass on either side of this to trim off. Leave your fake turf to settle for around three hours, which will prevent any wrinkling or creasing.

We recommend laying the grass with the pile leaning towards your house or main area so that it looks more natural.

5. Make your joins

Should you need to make any joins, use our quality tape and glue-which come with simple instructions. If you are fitting artificial grass on a wooden surface, such as decking, a combination of adhesive and carpet tacks will easily fix your turf down.

6. Trim the edges

After leaving to settle, cut your turf using a sharp Stanley knife-and make sure you take particular care to leave a perfect edge!

7. Secure your grass

When coming to secure your artificial turf in Dubai / Abu Dhabi / UAE, you have two main options. You can dot and dab adhesive to the solid base and to the back of the grass. Alternatively, for a more decorative look, you can loose-lay your grass and weigh down with garden accessories, such as furniture or plant pots.
