What if  Weed Grows Under My Fake Grass?

You must be worried that weeds might grow under your artificial grass and ruin its look. Weed does grow under the turf if you do not properly clean the base before installing the grass roll on the soil. It is important you get rid of weeds and plants before laying your imitation grass on the soil.

We recommend you install a geotextile membrane under the topsoil. The membrane is permeable to air and water but impermeable to light. This will prevent weed growth or any seeds from sprouting into plants.

What Edging System Shall I use?

An edging system is a really important step in the flawless installation of artificial grass. It secures the sub-base and holds the grass in its place. Different edging methods are meant for different bases.

If you are installing your turf on soil, use galvanized U-shaped or straight spiral nails around the perimeter of the lawn. The nails are hammered into the soil, fixing the turf edges.

How to Make the Grass Look Seamless?

There might be a chance that your landscaping area requires more than one grass roll or piece. In that case, it’s natural to be concerned about visible seams in your lawn. Visible joins in the lawn give a very unnatural and unprofessional look, and nobody wants that.

We do not want that for your lawn either! That’s why we advise that you take extra care while joining the two pieces. Make sure the edges are smooth and even. Carefully check the seams from up and down and align them such that both pieces have the same pile direction. Now join them using a strong seam tape.

Infill or No Infill?

To some, adding infill to the grass seems like an extra step. Infill, especially sand infill, does not come cheap, which is why some people tend to skip it. If you are tight on the budget or aiming for indoor installation, you can certainly pass it over.

Tiger Lily Garden strongly advocates using rubber or sand-infill on your grass for that extra oomph. Your lawn will not only look natural and luxuriant but also last longer.

What Is the Best Thing to Put Under Artificial Grass?

The best thing to put under artificial grass is crushed granite dust. This is called a sub-base. A sub-base allows efficient water permeability and prevents weeds and plant seeds from sprouting. Granite dust is costly but gets the job well done. However, if you are looking for a cheaper alternative, go for sharp sand but it deteriorates the grass over time.

How Do You Get Artificial Grass to Stay in Place?

The edges of your lawn are secured for the artificial grass to stay in place. Either grass nails, sod staples, or an adhesive is used for edging. For laying turf on the soil, grass nails and staples are commonly used, while for imitation grass installed on concrete, it is wise to use an industrial-grade adhesive. After edging, sand infill is added to give the grass an additional weight to stay in place.

What Do You Put Under Artificial Grass on Soil?

You have to put a geotextile membrane on soil under artificial grass. The geotextile membrane is like a polypropylene barrier that halts sunlight to pass through it, suppressing weed growth under the grass. It also prevents the underlying soil from becoming compacted. Compact soil means poor drainage. The underlying geotextile membrane allows proper drainage of water.

How Do You Stop Weeds Coming Through Artificial Grass?

A geotextile paper is laid under the artificial grass roll to stop weeds from coming through. It is an efficient weed barrier as it only allows air and water to pass through, but does not allow light. This prevents weeds from emerging from the dormant seeds in the soil.

Can You Spray Roundup on Artificial Grass?

Yes, you can spray Roundup on artificial grass. Roundup is a broad-spectrum herbicide and kills all the plants that come in its contact, including weeds. Luckily, it does not damage the color or material of artificial grass. Therefore, it is safe to use Roundup on artificial grass as an effective weed killer.

Can You Pour Boiling Water on Artificial Grass?

Yes, you can pour boiling water on Tiger Lily Garden’s artificial grass to prevent weed growth. Boiling water will destroy all plants including weeds, by disrupting the root system of the plant. This ensures that the plant will not grow back. If you are not sure of the quality of your grass, use a weed killer or geotextile membrane to prevent weeds as boiling water can damage your imitation grass.

Can You Lay Artificial Grass Without Edging?

Yes, you can lay artificial grass without edging, but the perimeter of the grass roll will not be secured. The turf will not stay in its position and have ridges. This will reduce the durability and life span of your synthetic turf. An appropriate edging system gives a natural, finished look to the grass.

Do You Need to Put Sand on Artificial Grass?

Yes, if you are installing artificial grass outdoors, we strongly suggest you put sand on it. There are many reasons to add sand infill to your turf.

1. It increases the life span of your fake lawn grass.
2. It adds weight to your grass so it stays in place.
3. Sand infill reflects sunlight and dissipates heat, keeping the grass cooler.
4. With sand infill, the grass fibers do not lie flat but rather stand in an upright position.
5. Sand absorbs water and lets it seep through it, thus improving water drainage of the turf.
