The Easygrasse installation process

Our professional contractors make the installation process look so easy! 

  • Step 1: Preparation of surfaces: They’ll start by removing all the existing grass or turf. 
  • Step 2: They’ll remove existing weeds and spray weed killer on the area at least 2 weeks before laying the Easygrasse. To prevent weeds from regrowing in the area, a weed barrier is placed along the prepared area. 
  • Step 3: The next part involves choosing a base material such as gravel, rock or even decomposed granite. 
  • Step 4: The contractor will moisten and compact the chosen base and finalise the sand overlay. 
  • Step 5: Allow the base to dry and roll out the Easygrasse lawn type you’ve chosen. Each strip of turf is laid out over the prepared base. 
  • Step 6: Once the base is covered, it’s a good idea to give the artificial grass area about 24 hours to set in place. This is to ensure the adhesives used have time to set properly.

Places that we install an artificial lawn

Benefits of artificial grass

Many people prefer artificial grass over natural grass because of the many benefits that go along with it. Installing Easygrasse has many benefits that make having a beautiful lawn so much easier. The top benefits of artificial grass include:

  • Zero maintenance: The biggest drawcard is the minimal maintenance. There’s no moving, watering and weeding required. 
  • Grows in shady spots: We all hate those patches in the natural grass where shade prevents it from growing. You won’t have that problem with Easygrasse!
  • Safe for everyone: Children and pets can easily play on Easygrasse without fear of inhaling pesticides or fertilizers. It’s completely safe to play and lie on. 
  • Cleaner: Another huge benefit of synthetic grass installation is that it’s cleaner. No matter how wildly your children and pets are playing on Easygrasse products, there’ll be no grass stains on clothes or shoes. 
  • No need for fertilizers: Easygrasse turf remains lush and green without the need to add fertilizer or synthetic chemicals to keep it green. It’s completely toxin-free. 
  • Fits anywhere: Artificial grass is perfect for recreational areas such as sports courts and fields. It’s the ideal way to spruce up your outdoor living area without hours of maintenance!
  • No need for watering: Aside from the occasional rinse off for dust and odours, there’s no need to water your Easygrasse product. That means you’ll not only save on your water bill but you’ll have luscious green grass all year round, even in the driest times of the year. 
  • No bare spots: On normal grass high traffic areas often have pathways or bare spots. Since artificial grass is extremely resilient, you won’t have any bare spots no matter how often the kids run or play in a certain area.
  • Cheaper: If you take into account the costs you’ll save on maintenance over an extended period, the artificial grass installation cost will seem minimal!

FAQ

How long does the installation take?

In general, the installation of a synthetic grass area takes between 2 to 3 weeks. Factors that determine this include weather conditions, base construction and ground conditions. If there’s fencing involved, an average of 8 weeks could be added to the overall time. Laying artificial turf may look easy, but it’s best left to the experts for superior results! 

Is the installation safe?

Artificial grass installation is safer than you might think! Since artificial turf is generally made from polypropylene, polyethene or polyamide yarn, it’s very safe to install! 

How long does artificial grass last?

How long your artificial lawn lasts depends entirely on how it’s used and on the fake grass installation process that was followed. It’s important to be upfront with your installer about what you intend to use the grass for. This will ensure that you get the right type and base installed. Based on your requirements, the installer will provide you with a standard guarantee. 

Can I use the grassed area immediately?

We recommend giving the grass at least 24 hours before being used. This allows for any adhesives used to set properly. The last thing you want is for the newly laid Easygrasse to move out of place when you walk on it because the adhesive is still wet! 

What type of artificial grass is best?

Choosing the type of artificial grass depends on what you want to do on it. If you’ll need it for different sports, a shock pad might have to be included to lessen potential damage. For sports courts, astroturf installation is a much better option. 

On what surfaces can I install artificial grass?

Artificial lawn installation can be done on just about any surface. The only requirement is a solid, level base that’s weed-free and compacted. This then forms the base for the artificial lawn. If you’re looking to add artificial grass to an outdoor entertainment area, the turf can also be laid on any type of hard floor. 

How do I maintain my artificial lawn?

The good news is, maintenance of artificial grass is very minimal! Simply remove leaves and debris. There’s no need to mow, water or rake your new artificial lawn.
