ARTIFICIAL GRASS
Ultimate Grass products all have a
‘thatch’ effect - a beige/brown curled
pile that sits below the green strands
and creating the impression of cut
grass within the product – it’s more
realistic and increases the density.
Polypropylene (PP) or
Polyethylene (PE)
All our artificial grass (together with
most competitor products) are made
from a mixture of Polypropylene
(PP) and Polyethylene (PE). Both
are synthetic materials (plastics)
and, while similar, they do possess
slightly different properties.
Polypropylene is generally a
harder wearing product but
doesn’t feel quite as soft to touch
as Polyethylene. The mix of the
plastics in each product is some
indication of how soft they feel
and how hardwearing they may be.
For example, a product with more
Polyethylene in it is likely to feel
slightly softer to touch but may be
slightly more prone to wear.

Cost Caring for Artificial Grass
Like with many types of products,
there are various options at
different price points, with prices
starting at £9.95 per m². Ultimate
Grass sells five ranges within its
three artificial grass collections to
suit everyone’s needs and budgets.
Each range has width options – 2m
or 4m – and a choice of grass length. There are online care guides for top
tips on maintaining artificial grass,
but to show how easy it is follow
these simple steps:
• Brush the grass regularly in the
opposite direction of the artificial
fibre
• Regularly remove leaves and
debris using a leaf blower, stiff
brush or plastic rake
• Trim hedges and trees often to
limit the amount of leaves falling
onto the lawn
• Apply weed killer twice a year to
the whole area to prevent weeds
growing and to kill any stray ones
• Use an artificial turf spray to
clean away any urine from your
pets
Pre-cut or bespoke
Artificial grass can be bought
easily online by square meter and
in a choice of two widths (www.
ultimategrass.co.uk) or in pre-cut
sizes, like buying a rug! (www.

Creating a striped lawn
Homeowners looking for a stripe can
easily achieve this by how they lay
the grass.
