Frequently Asked Questions
How to install artificial grass?
To install Melbourne artificial grass on soil, we recommend following these steps:
- Prepare the foundation: Use a shovel to remove existing grass, roots, mulch, pine needles, and other obstacles that could affect the desired surface. Dig out the existing soil up to 6-7 cm deep.
- Assemble a weed barrier: A durable barrier prevents the weed growth on your Melbourne synthetic grass. Roll out the weed barrier across the foundation and cut according to the prescribed dimensions. Overlap each section of fabric along the perimeter, securing the barrier with 15-cm galvanised nails or landscape anchors every several metres.
- Lay the aggregate: Lay a 5- to 10-cm aggregate layer composed of gravel or crushed stone. If you’re unsure about the appropriate material for your Melbourne artificial turf, consult a trusted contractor in your area.
- Level, smooth, and compact the aggregate: Use a rake to level the aggregate. Use the fork side to spread it evenly and the flat side to smooth it.
- Cut the grass: Place the Melbourne fake turf over the aggregate carefully. Do not drag the synthetic grass over the surface. For optimal results, ask a friend or family member to help you lay the fake grass. Use a sharp utility knife to cut the grass according to your preferred shape, cutting it slightly larger than the installation area to ensure complete surface coverage.
- Seam and secure the edges: Using multiple rolls of Melbourne fake grass requires seaming them together. Lay two rolls at the seams, edge to edge. Lift the edges of the turf and place seaming cloth (artificial grass tape) along the same to fuse the two sections together. Use a hammer to secure the seam with landscape anchors or 15-cm galvanised nails. Use the recommended adhesive to connect the seams.
- Secure the turf: Secure and flatten the turf with 15-cm galvanised nails or landscape anchors around the perimeter. Trim overlapping grass over the edges with a utility knife.
- Spread and brush the infill: Spread infill over the artificial grass’s surface. Use a soft-bristled broom to make the infill seep into the grass fibres, ensuring a fresh, clean look. Work in the same direction to ensure a consistent appearance.
How to clean artificial grass?
Follow these steps to clean artificial grass:
- Remove debris, such as dead leaves, branches, and rubbish. Use a hard-bristled broom, an electric scrubber, a leaf blower, or a vacuum cleaner for this task. Do not use metal rakes, as they can damage artificial grass fibres.
- Rinse the surface thoroughly with a garden hose to remove stubborn dust and dirt.
- For thorough cleaning, use a combination of water and soap or white vinegar. Scrub the surface with a soft-bristle brush, scrubbing it along the direction of the bristles to prevent damage. Next, use a stiff-bristled brush and brush against the direction of the grass to strengthen it and refresh the turf’s appearance. Alternatively, natural rainfall can clean your artificial grass, relieving you of occasional cleaning.
Where to buy silica sand for artificial grass?
We don’t recommend silica sand for modern, dense synthetic turf due to compaction, shock absorption, and maintenance issues.
How much is artificial grass?
Artificial grass in Australia normally costs $18 per square metre.
Can I lay artificial grass on soil?
You can lay artificial grass on soil. However, we recommend replacing the soil with compacted crusher dust to improve drainage.
How long does artificial grass last?
Ezy Decking’s premium artificial grass has a seven-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Does artificial grass get hot?
Artificial grass can get hot, especially during the summer months. However, they cool down easily when doused with cold water. We recommend purchasing denser synthetic turf that stays cooler underneath, ensuring optimal comfort year-round.
Does artificial grass smell when dogs pee?
Dog urine contains ammonia and bacteria, which can develop a strong odour on artificial grass. Good drainage, regular cleaning, and rubber or coated sand infill help minimise odour absorption. Our premium artificial grass sanitiser dissolves dog urine crystals and washes them through the turf.
Can artificial grass be laid on concrete?
You can lay artificial grass on concrete provided you assemble a drainage slope that allows the turf to drain rainwater efficiently.
Can dogs dig through artificial grass?
Dogs usually cannot dig through artificial grass, especially with a premium turf, sturdy foundation, secure edges, and rubber or coated sand infill.
However, they can dig through poorly installed synthetic turf with a soft-sub base. For this reason, follow your manufacturer’s guidelines carefully when installing artificial grass. A reputable installer ensures efficient assembly for outdoor areas with dogs.
Can you park a car on artificial grass?
Parking on artificial turf is okay. Although the vehicle’s weight will flatten the blades, they will spring back to life in warmer temperatures.
Can you put a fire pit on artificial grass?
We don’t recommend installing a fire pit near artificial grass, as sparks or embers can melt the turf. Ensure you place the fire pit appropriately 1 m to 2 m from the synthetic turf to prevent heat damage. We recommend using a fireproof mat or heat shield under the fire pit to protect your artificial grass.
Can you put artificial grass around a pool?
You can install artificial grass around a swimming pool. However, the turf can become very hot in warm climates. We recommend using sprinklers or misting systems to keep the artificial grass cool during summer.
Can you put artificial grass on decking?
We don’t recommend installing artificial grass on decking, as it can cause drainage issues, retain too much heat, and destabilise the turf due to the absence of a sturdy base. The turf can also rot without adequate moisture and air flow.
Can you put planters on artificial grass?
You can place planters on artificial grass. However, we recommend using lightweight planters on raised bases, rotating them occasionally to prevent flattening the turf.
Can you put tent pegs in artificial grass?
Tent pegs can leave big holes in artificial grass. Ezy Decking’s turf pegs or nails allow you to pitch a tent on synthetic turf without damaging it.
Can you see joins in artificial grass?
Joins are often visible on artificial turf. We recommend minimising them to maximise long-term visual appeal. Our extensive range of synthetic turf, ranging from 2 m to 5 m wide, has no joins, making it appealing to many homeowners from Melbourne and surrounding neighbourhoods.
Can you trim artificial grass?
You can trim artificial grass from the backing side using a sharp Stanley knife.
Can you vacuum artificial grass?
You can only vacuum dry artificial grass. Please follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for vacuuming, preferably with a garden-specific vacuum cleaner.
Do weeds grow through artificial grass?
Weeds can grow along the synthetic turf joins without joining tape. We recommend using Geofabric underneath artificial grass to prevent weed growth and ensure peace of mind.
