Transforming Your Outdoor Space: How Luux Landscapes Expertly Installs Artificial Grass

When it comes to transforming your outdoor space into a lush, green oasis, few solutions match the beauty and convenience of artificial grass. At Luux Landscapes, we are leaders for artificial grass in Essex and we pride ourselves on using the latest, most effective methods to ensure a flawless finish every time. Our team of experts is dedicated to delivering and installing top-quality synthetic grass products from market-leading brands, tailored to your specific needs. Here’s a detailed look at our comprehensive installation process.

Step 1: Removing Existing Grass

The first step in our artificial grass installation process involves the removal of any existing grass. Our team uses a specialised turf cutter to efficiently and effectively remove the old grass. This machine ensures that the grass is cut at the right depth, making it easier to lay the new surface.

Step 2: Installing a Treated Timber Frame

Once the old grass is removed, we install a treated timber frame around the perimeter of the area. This frame serves multiple purposes: it provides a solid edge for the artificial grass, prevents the new surface from shifting over time, and offers a neat, defined boundary for your new lawn. The timber we use is treated to withstand the elements, ensuring longevity and durability.

Step 3: Laying Weed Membrane

To prevent weed growth and ensure a clean, maintenance-free surface, we lay a high-quality weed membrane onto the area. This membrane acts as a barrier, stopping any weeds from penetrating through to the surface of your artificial grass, thus maintaining its pristine appearance.

Step 4: Filling with Type One Crushed Concrete

Next, we fill the timber frame with 50mm of type one crushed concrete. This layer forms the foundation of your new lawn, providing a stable and durable base. We then compact the crushed concrete using a wacker plate. This step is crucial as it ensures that the base is firm and level, ready to support the layers above.

Step 5: Adding and Compacting Grano Dust

On top of the compacted crushed concrete, we add 20-25 mm of 6mm grano dust. Grano dust is finer than crushed concrete and provides a smooth, level surface for the artificial grass to lie on. Just like with the crushed concrete, we compact the grano dust to ensure it is firm and even. This step ensures that the artificial grass will sit perfectly, without any bumps or uneven areas.

Step 6: Installing the Artificial Grass

With the preparation complete, it’s time to install the artificial grass. We carefully roll out the synthetic turf over the prepared area, making sure it fits perfectly within the timber frame. If there is a need for seams (when two pieces of grass need to be joined), we use specialised grass glue to secure the edges together. This ensures that the join is strong and virtually invisible, maintaining the seamless appearance of your new lawn.

Step 7: Final Brushing and Completion

The final step in our installation process is to brush up the artificial grass. This involves using a special brush to lift the blades of the grass, giving it a natural, upright appearance. This step also helps to distribute any infill material (if used) evenly across the surface. Once the brushing is complete, your new garden is ready to enjoy!
