In an age of Covid-19 and lockdowns where we are spending more time at home than ever before , artificial grass has never been so popular . It ’ s easy to see why . It ’ s low maintenance , long-lasting , and durable . Who wouldn ’ t want to wave goodbye to the lawnmower ? And weeds !
And yet , although artificial grass is hassle-free , installing it can be quite the opposite …
Fixing the perimeter of an artificial lawn is one of the most important parts of an artificial lawn installation . Traditional methods are dated , flawed , and improvised . When the lawn perimeter is nailed , screwed , or stapled every 10cm , just 10 % of the lawn is fixed , leaving 90 % unfixed . Not to mention leaving visible fixing marks on the lawn surface . When the lawn perimeter is glued on to a cement haunch , ghosting lines are visible through the lawn almost immediately or certainly once the compacted aggregate has settled .
