How to lay artificial grass on concrete or paving slabs

The use of artificial grass on existing hard surfaces is becoming more popular. Follow this guide for fitting perfect artificial grass on concrete.
1.Assess height and length
As per installing fake grass on a soil base, work out the height and length that the artificial grass layer will sit at.

2. Clear the area
When installing and laying artificial grass on concrete, ensure that the concrete area has been brushed and cleaned down thoroughly. It is important that all debris is removed, in order to assess whether the surface is level enough to lay the artificial grass on the concrete surface.

3. Roll out your Performance Pad
When laying artificial grass on concrete, we recommend using one of our 5mm or 10mm Performance Pads – particularly for larger areas as this will cushion the area. Roll this out onto the area to be covered and join with glue and tape.

4. Lay your turf
Roll out your turf onto the clean area you wish to cover. It is best practice to leave around 50mm of grass on either side of this to trim off. Leave your fake turf to settle for around three hours, which will prevent any wrinkling or creasing.

5. Cut your grass to size
After leaving to settle, cut your turf using a sharp Stanley knife-and make sure you take particular care to leave a perfect edge!

6. Make your joins
Should you need to make any joins, use our quality tape and glue-which come with simple instructions. If you are fitting artificial grass on a wooden surface, such as decking, a combination of adhesive and carpet tacks will easily fix your turf down.

7. Secure your grass

When coming to secure your artificial turf, you have two main options. You can dot and dab adhesive to the solid base and to the back of the grass. Alternatively, for a more decorative look, you can loose-lay your grass and weigh down with garden accessories, such as furniture or plant pots.
