Artificial grass in Cork
Artificial grass sits flat when the old turf comes out and a compacted base goes in.
What comes out, and what goes in
Artificial grass is mostly ground work. The grass itself goes down last.
OutThe old lawn
- The old grass and its roots
- Soil, down to the right depth
- Weeds and stones
InThe new one
- A compacted, level base
- A layer to keep weeds down
- The grass, rolled out the same way
- Joins and edges fixed
How much grass does your lawn take?
Artificial grass mostly comes in 4 m wide rolls. Put in the lawn's length and width and you get the area, how many strips it takes laid the thriftier way, and how many joins that means.

Rough guide for a rectangle. Rolls also come in other widths, and curves change it. Corners, cuts and the ground change the real count.

Artificial grass questions
Does artificial grass drain?
Rain goes through small holes in the backing, so the base under it has to drain too. That is why the base matters so much.
Is it OK for dogs?
Many people with dogs have it. Ask John about drainage and which grass he recommends for a garden with pets.
Can it go on concrete or an old patio?
Sometimes, with the right underlay. Ask John whether your surface suits.
Which grass should I choose?
Grasses differ in pile height, colour and feel. Ask John which he recommends for how the lawn is used.
How much does artificial grass cost?
It depends on the area, the grass you choose and the ground work needed. See what sets the price of an artificial lawn, or send John the measurements.
