Artificial Grass Installation

Site survey and Planning are the two essential elements that can simplify the process of artificial grass Crawley installation. The advancement in the technology allows the experts to analyze and measure the landscape dimension, contours, and the objects (trees, plants, shrubs, and other structural elements) in your garden accurately. They can estimate the grass roll-size (length and width) and the number of rolls required to cover the landscape. They can also determine the equipment and tools to install the grass evenly with the drainage, weed resistance, soft and flexible texture, safety, and easy to maintain features.

Site Mapping

The site mapping process helps the experts mark the dimension of the artificial grass Crawley installation. They spray the marker paint or use the nail and cord to draw the boundaries.

Site Preparation

Removal of existing surface soil and excavating to a depth of 10 centimeters marks the initial base preparation. The sod cutter tool helps in the removal of topsoil and other obstacles like stones, soil lumps, etc. The landscape rake helps in the evening the base surface. The compactor can assist in packing the base soil and strengthen the loosely bound soil layers.

Watering allows the soil to bond further. The experts wait for 2-3 hours after watering to ensure surface evenness and soil compactness.

Gravel Filling

Filling the base to a height of 5-6 centimeters with the gravel (sand, crushed limestone, concrete, fiberglass or the other porous but string materials) creates the foundation. By using the compacting and the grading tools, the experts can prepare the top surface for the artificial grass Crawley installation.

Grass Installation

Standard size grass rolls are installed in parallel lines along the length of the landscape. The experts skillfully cut and shape the turf around the natural and the structural objects. This procedure enhances the aesthetic appearance of the installation.

Joining and gluing of the adjacent rolls with each other can be reinforced with the U-pegs or the nails. Their height will be sufficient to pass through the grass rolls and bind them firmly with the base.

Edging

Edging is the process by which the corners and the sides are sealed and protected from the external environmental impact. Some of the most commonly used edging objects are the wooden planks, concrete blocks, and the metal frames. The edges are installed on the four sides of the grass rolls to the depth equivalent to the grass roll thickness. The experts wrap the corners and grass roll sides and bind them to the base using the nails.

Infill Pouring

The acrylic-coated sand or rubber crumbs (1.3 Pounds/square-foot) are poured into the artificial grass Crawley and brushed in. The Gentle use of the tamper can settle the infill material and compact the grains firmly with each other. Spraying the weed blockers can help in preventing the growth of the weeds. Watering the grass can also help in increasing the compactness of the infill material. Now the artificial grass Crawley is ready for use by your family and the pets.

Latest Artificial Grass Technology

The manufacturing of the artificial grass Crawley is a technically advanced process, which involves extrusion of the synthetic yarn, the weaving of the backing fabric, and the tufting of the two with each other. Advancement in technology has brought many changes to the machine configuration and the processing methods.

Raw Materials

The raw materials used the process are polyethylene, PP, SEBS, and other forms of the thermoplastic elastomeric materials. SEBS is the latest technology product, which has inbuilt properties of elasticity, tensile strength, endurance, resistance to load, anti-infectious ingredients, and slip-free features. It is also resistant to climatic conditions, warping, breaking, and shocks. The shock absorption ratio of the material is much higher than the others.

Extrusion

The machines extrude artificial grass yarn into textured filaments of a specific denier. The accurate control of the dimension, color mixing, elongation factors, and overall quality consistency is the key to the making of high-tech artificial grass Crawley.

Grass Blade Shaping

The latest hardware and software technology allows the experts to shape the grass blade according to the specific customer requirements. The critical parameters are resistance to bending, breaking, and deformation. The structural stability is determined by the material and the shape of the blade. C, U, W, V, S, M, omega, and the other configurations have different sets of characteristics.

The W-shaped fiber is highly elastic and flexible. It can withstand heavy foot traffic and maintain its shape. Similarly, the omega has the high softness and natural texture of endurance for foot traffic. The other configurations have light/heat emission, absorption, preservation, color retention and variation, and high thermo-mechanical properties. The latest technology in the artificial grass Crawley systems has helped to improve the durability and aesthetic features.

Weaving/Molding

The weaving/molding process creates the synthetic plastic or rubber backing. By using the recycled materials, it is possible to reduce the emissions to the near-zero levels.

Tufting

The latest technology tufting machine has a configuration of 2 /4/6 meters width, with a gauge size ranging from 4/16” to 5/8”. The new system allows the experts to adjust the parameters like the pile height, density, number of stitches/inch, and custom gauge sizes.

Artificial Grass and Animals

The artificial grass Crawley has the highest drainage capacity which removes the liquid waste faster. The highly washable surface and the opaque infill material make it easy to eradicate the solid wastes from the grass.

The artificial grass Crawley is entirely free from every type of allergens and dangerous elements. Your pet skin remains free from all kinds of problems. The warmth of the grass keeps the pets comfortable.

Artificial Turf Maintenance and Lifespan

The maintenance procedures for the artificial grass Crawley are sophisticated and straightforward. You have to follow the procedures for the brushing, weeding, washing, snow removal, infill replacement, and the other maintenance tasks. They help enhance the lifespan of the artificial grass Crawley by many years. The DIY methods can contribute to a certain extent in the maintenance. But the professional care by the artificial grass Crawley contractors can increase the quality and durability beyond the scope of DIY procedures.

Crawley weather

December to February is the winter in Crawley. The average temperature is between 6⁰C and 7.4⁰C. Average rainfall is 70mm. The spring season is from March to May when the temperature varies between 9.3⁰C and 15.4⁰C. The average rainfall is 60mm. The summer is between June and August. The average temperature is between 18⁰C and 21⁰C. Average rainfall is 61mm. The autumn is between September and November. Average temperature is between 9⁰C and 18⁰C. Average rainfall is 80mm.

The artificial grass Crawley extrusion and tufting procedures make it resistant to heat, cold, humidity, and the rains. You may choose to install the grass during any month, except perhaps during November and December, when the rains are heavy. Once the grass is installed and configured, the durability factors make it long lasting for many decades with the minimum maintenance procedures.
