An important part of any project is the budget, and this is exactly why we take great care in providing quality artificial grass products at reasonable prices. However, if you’re buying artificial grass on a strict budget, then we have a few recommendations for you.

The Whitby is a top seller in the Namgrass product range, and for good reason. With a 32mm pile height and a luxury feel underfoot, Whitby holds a strong likeness to real turf, and what’s more, it’s designed with budget in mind at only £15.99 per m2.

At just £8.99 per m2, The Namgrass Aura is a low-cost, yet versatile artificial grass that’s suitable for all manner of projects. Its short pile height and 4-colour mixture of fibres means that it looks great almost anywhere.

We’d be the first to tell you about the myriad of uses for artificial grass – its flexibility and easy maintenance is one of the bigger reasons why people opt for artificial grass installations in the first place.

Manufactured from light green yarn, the Namgrass Comfort product is made to revitalise your outdoor space for all-year-round use. It also comes in 3 different pre-cut sizes, making it perfect for patios, decking, balconies – anything DIY really! If practicality is high up on your agenda, the Aura is a great pick. With its short pile consisting of both straight and curled fibres across four colours, this artificial grass product is an affordable option for your project, whether it’s a balcony, roof terrace, or children’s play area.

The Namgrass Elise is a medium pile height and high-density synthetic grass product that’s perfect for all situations – family and commercial events, hospitality venues, and any other high-traffic spaces where you need luxury softness without sacrificing durability and versatility. If golf is your game, look no further than the Play-Putt. This unique and high-quality artificial grass provides the perfect surface for recreating the golf green at home, work, or anywhere else! Its short, dense pile and good variety of colour options makes this ideal for commercial and private artificial grass installations.

While some of our quality artificial grass products lend themselves especially to specific applications, we understand that sometimes you’re just after a little of everything, something adaptable – a jack of all…garden projects. If this sounds like you, then look no further.

The Namgrass Vision has a vibrant green, medium pile for easy artificial grass maintenance, despite its stunning natural looking aesthetic. This makes the Vision perfect for garden parties and play – the best of both worlds. Serenity has a luscious looking 37mm pile height and is one of our most realistic-looking products. Its super-soft fibres and hard wearing thatch make it perfect for family gardens.

We strive to ensure that all of our products are made to stand the test of time, but if you’re looking for hard-wearing, durable synthetic grass, we’ve got you covered. The Namgrass Elise’s high density makes for an extremely hard-wearing and durable artificial grass in any scenario, while our Kirkstall product is a great choice for those who like to keep active, using their garden for sports and fitness. With a neat and short pile, it’s perfect for exercise and pets.

The Namgrass Play is exactly what it sounds like. With a very short pile height, Play is an ideal artificial grass for sports, ball games, and heavy footfall, thanks to its durable, high density fibres. It’s also easy to maintain and clean, making it a perfect artificial grass for schools.

Arguably the most important thing about an artificial lawn is how it looks and feels, so read on for a couple of our recommendations for a synthetic grass garden with that luxury look and feel.

Downton is a long pile height product, with a deep curled thatch and rich multitioned fibres. This all works together to provide a super-soft luxury feel, while still remaining relatively affordable. If you’re striving for the ultra-realistic look, then look no further than Serenity. With its long and luxurious pile, it looks very real and natural, while also remaining hardwearing for those situations where you just don’t want to compromise – perfect for a luxury garden.

Easy artificial grass maintenance is always a high priority to us, and the entire Namgrass range reflects this, but if you have a pet and want to minimise this maintenance, look no further than Barking.

PU backing makes Barking less absorbent than our traditional latex grasses, and the ‘W’ shaped yarn makes for great durability. If you’re buying artificial grass as a dog owner, you’d be barking mad not to take a look at this one…

Fitting artificial grass to hard surfaces like balconies and patios is generally quite straightforward and simple– in fact, laying synthetic grass in this way is actually very similar to fitting carpet, but here’s a rundown of the key things to consider, and steps you should take:

1. Assess and prepare your surface for artificial grass installation
2. Clear the area of any dust and debris
3. Install your artificial grass underlay and level the area
4. Join your synthetic grass sections using artificial grass joining tape, and spot glue to secure
5. Secure the grass by spot gluing the perimeter
6. Enjoy your stunning new artificial grass area in all of its luscious green glory!

We wouldn’t disagree that a garden patio area can certainly be beautiful in its own right, but perhaps it’s time to bring the area to life in a new way, or maybe you just fancy a change. In that case, synthetic grass could just be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

Who said that grass belongs on the ground? One of the many benefits of artificial grass is that it’s easy to install almost anywhere, from your cottage garden, right up to your 10th story terrace balcony (and higher). It’ll even go on the roof if you want it to!

Firstly, just like when laying artificial grass on decking, it’s important to check on the quality of the surface you’re planning to use as a subfloor for your artificial grass installation. Make sure to clear any dust and debris as best you can, and check that the area is good for drainage.

Before fitting artificial grass, it really helps to have an underlay in place as this will result in a much softer grass surface once the installation is complete. A 10mm shock pad should do the job in most cases, but there are thicker varieties if needed. If the patio or paving area is particularly uneven (like many are), it may be worth applying a self-levelling compound to flatten out the surface before installing your artificial grass underlay.

Now that we’re ready for the artificial grass installation, let’s get to work. If you’re pretty handy and have some DIY skills, you can absolutely do this yourself at home, but there’s no shortage of fantastic Namgrass-verified installers that can help you achieve the perfect artificial grass fitting. First, lay out the synthetic, and carefully cut the pieces to size with a stanley knife. We always recommend leaving the grass to settle for an hour or so. Since you’re laying artificial grass on concrete or a similar hard surface, screws aren’t really an option– so spot gluing is the way forward.

Make sure you’ve done all of your cutting before even touching the artificial grass glue. Once this is done, the next step is to connect the synthetic grass sections using artificial grass joining tape.

Once this is done, secure the perimeter of the artificial grass patio or balcony using your artificial grass glue. We suggest staying off the synthetic grass for a few hours while the adhesive settles and dries. Congratulations– you’re now free to enjoy your beautiful new artificial grass garden area.

Are you considering artificial grass for your patio or balcony? As we said earlier, all of our products at Namgrass are high-quality artificial grass options, and most of them would suit a patio or balcony area perfectly. That said, if you expect the area to get a lot of footfall, we’d recommend a shorter pile height grass, such as our Namgrass Aura, or Kirkstall, but if you’d prefer the longer-grass aesthetic, we have plenty of other fantastic artificial grass products available.

Firstly, and most importantly, you may be wondering if laying artificial grass on decking is even possible? Well as specialist suppliers of artificial grass in the UK, we’re happy to say that it absolutely is! In fact, it’s very straightforward, and actually surprisingly similar to laying carpet on a wooden floor. This artificial grass installation guide will take you through all of the necessary steps so you know how to lay artificial grass on decking, the right way.

The first thing you’ll want to do is check the quality and condition of your decking. If you’re considering laying artificial grass on decking, the decking must be in good condition, and not rotting or particularly uneven– these issues will make the artificial grass installation difficult, and may lead to further problems later down the line. We’d suggest that you carry out the necessary repairs or replacement before installing artificial grass on decking. Alternatively, you could dig out the area and install your synthetic grass in an open area instead.

Next up, it’s time to clear the area and get ready to install your synthetic grass. Remove anything from the decking area that will obstruct or cause difficulty when it comes to the artificial grass installation. Clear any extra debris and clean the decking with a pressurised hose if you have one– if not, a scrubbing brush will do the trick! After this step, it’s time to apply damp proofing treatment, however this is not always necessary. You’ll now want to leave 48 hours for your decking to dry, so if you haven’t already chosen your artificial grass, why not use this as a time to have a browse and find the perfect synthetic grass product for you.

Now you’re ready to begin the artificial grass installation process, and there are a few things to consider here. Your two choices in terms of artificial grass underlay are marine plywood, and foam shock pads. The benefit of the marine ply is that it will create a very even surface, but you may have to drill drainage holes, while quality shock pads have good drainage, and also create a soft, cushioned surface for your synthetic grass.

Once the underlay is in place, it’s finally time to lay down your artificial grass. We’d suggest leaving the synthetic grass for an hour or so to settle. Afterwards, it’s time to secure the corners, and there are a couple of different ways to do this– spot gluing, and simply using screws. Both of these are very viable options for fitting artificial grass on decking, but one advantage of nails is that if the time comes that you want to remove the synthetic grass from the decking, it is easier to do so, with a lower risk of damaging the decking.

So there you have it – the steps to follow so that you know how to install artificial grass on decking. The only thing to do now is decide which artificial grass product you’d like for your decking makeover! If the decking will be a popular spot for people to spend their time, then we’d recommend a shorter pile height, however at Namgrass, we pride ourselves on supplying versatile and high quality artificial grass products, almost all of which would be perfect to install on decking. Why not order some samples and see for yourself?

• Laying artificial grass on decking is easy, and can completely change the look of your garden
• You don’t have to worry about drainage because the water will drain however it drains normally
• Namgrass supplies quality artificial grass in the UK that’s durable and practically maintenance free!

Laying artificial grass on decking is actually very similar to attaching carpet to a wooden floor. Taking care to follow these steps will ensure that your artificial grass installation is a breeze:

• Clear the area of debris and furniture
• Clean the decking with a pressurised hose or a scrubbing brush
• Apply a damp-proofing treatment (optional)
• Allow to dry for 48 hours
• Apply marine plywood or a shock pad over the decking. This helps to smooth the surface if you have deep grooves in the decking
• Lay the grass out for at least an hour so it can settle
• Secure the corners by spot gluing or using screws

Make sure that your decking is in good condition before starting. If your decking is rotten or particularly uneven, then it may not be the best candidate for artificial grass installation. You may need to replace or repair your decking. Alternatively, you could dig out the entire area instead, and install the artificial grass on the cleared area. If you’re worried about drainage, you can drill through both the ply and the decking to add extra holes.

Laying artificial grass on paving slabs is very similar to installing synthetic grass on decking. The only difference is that you can’t screw into your patio, and should use glue. As above, you could remove the patio completely and instead use timber edging to secure the turf for your new artificial lawn installation.

As artificial grass suppliers, we often hear the question “can you put artificial grass on decking?” The answer is, you absolutely can! In fact, synthetic grass is actually very easy to install on decking, and will completely change the look of the area. Installing artificial grass on decking is very similar to laying carpet on a wooden floor – just make sure the decking is in good, strong condition if you’re considering this for your garden.

Usually when you think of grass or an artificial grass garden, you picture an open space with turf laid on the floor – but what if we told you it didn’t have to be this way? There are many synthetic grass products that lend themselves well to an artificial grass roof project. Whether it’s a summerhouse roof or for a garden shed, an artificial grass roof will do wonders for your garden. If you’re considering installing an artificial grass roof, you can learn more with our helpful guide.

When we say that synthetic grass has many uses, we aren’t just talking about how it looks – there are many functional benefits too! Artificial grass golf greens are a perfect example of this. Whether you’re seeking artificial turf for an indoor practice area, or a full 18-hole mini golf course, an artificial grass golf green will surely provide the flexibility to fit the requirements of your project. In fact, the Namgrass ‘Play-Putt’ is designed specifically for this purpose, and is available in a variety of colours to suit your needs.

If you’re looking into buying artificial grass, you may have questions on your mind such as “is artificial grass good for dogs?” or “is artificial grass pet friendly?” If so, you’ll be pleased to know that another functional benefit of synthetic grass is that it is indeed very pet-friendly. Artificial grass products are often rugged and will withstand wear, while they also won’t discolour when your pet goes to the toilet – artificial grass cleaning is straightforward as well!

We’ve covered some of the key uses and benefits of artificial grass in this blog, but the possibilities really are almost endless! Trust us – as artificial grass suppliers, we see first-hand every day just how amazing and versatile synthetic grass can be. How does an artificial grass patio sound? Or perhaps you’re looking for artificial grass for the balcony – it’s all possible with Namgrass.

It’s no secret that owning a pet can dictate many of your choices when planning and maintaining your ideal lawn. You understandably might be hesitant to spend valuable time and effort on a natural lawn just for the dog to make a mess of the whole thing! Thankfully, Namgrass has your back when it comes to artificial grass maintenance, as all of our products are durable, pet-friendly and won’t discolour like natural grass. Plus, unlike maintaining a lawn it can be a real time-saver too, as cleaning artificial grass is a breeze.

As artificial grass suppliers, we know that parents love to watch the pure excitement kids get from playing out in the garden during summertime, but how can you keep on top of maintaining your lawn without ruining all the fun? Namgrass artificial grass products are great for family fun, and won’t suffer in the summer months like natural grass (say goodbye to that sun-scorched and trampled garden!). A soft, yet durable artificial grass such as our very own ‘Serenity’ product is one of many great options for your family garden.

With all home and garden improvements, when thinking about how to choose artificial grass, cost will likely play an important role in your decision, be that the cost of the product itself, or the artificial grass installation cost. At Namgrass, we want to make buying artificial grass as simple and accessible as possible, so we provide quality artificial grass at a range of price points. Our ‘Whitby’ product for instance, is a fantastic budget-friendly, high quality artificial grass.

Some garden projects can get very experimental, and you may want to lay turf on areas that you might not usually grow grass, such as balconies and decking. This is where synthetic grass really shines– whether you’re fitting artificial grass on roofs, balconies, or even paving, we have the products and accessories for the job.

If you’re researching how to choose artificial grass for your garden, you may have stumbled across the term ‘pile height’. Pile height is simply the height of the synthetic grass fibres, from the bottom, right to the tip. With such a range of products on the market, you may be thinking to yourself, “what’s the best pile height?” or “is 40mm artificial grass too long?” Put simply, pile height is largely determined by your preference, and the garden aesthetics that you’re striving for, with shorter pile heights (up to 30mm) giving more of a ‘freshly cut’ look, while longer grasses (30 – 40mm+) often look more natural. It’s also worth noting that although not a direct correlation, sometimes greater pile height can mean increased artificial grass cost.

Pile density measures how densely packed the grass is, and often correlates with the weight of a product. It’s an important factor to discuss with your artificial grass suppliers when buying artificial grass. High density is a great indicator of a high quality artificial grass product, and results in a green, luscious, and ‘healthy’ looking garden. At Namgrass we have a commitment to producing quality artificial grass, and the Namgrass Elise product is a great example of a high coverage density artificial grass that’s perfect for all manner of uses, from commercial areas to family gardens.

Hopefully this has helped you learn a little more about how to choose artificial grass for your project. There’s a great deal of synthetic grass products out there to help turn your dream garden into a reality, and knowing what to look for when buying artificial grass will certainly help you on your way.

When cleaning artificial grass, there are a few tools and supplies you’ll need before you start:

• A leaf blower, a non-metal flexible lawn rake or a stiff broom
• A hose
• Mild detergent and warm water

Below we’ve outlined the things to consider when cleaning artificial grass, such as best practices and how to take care of your lawn if you have pets, as well as things to try and avoid to ensure your artificial grass stays in top shape.

When carrying out artificial grass maintenance, there are a few easy methods to consider that will keep your garden looking beautiful. Whether it’s a quick brush to get rid of dry debris or a quick splash with the hose, just spot clean the bits that need it, as they need it. A regular check on your synthetic grass makes sure that any build-up of leaves, twigs and dust or dirt doesn’t start to decompose or encourage moss growth – neither of which are good for your lawn! A brush with a stiff broom (or even a garden vacuum!) keeps the pile looking perky, as well as clearing any debris. If there’s anything stubborn or you feel like your lawn needs to be washed down, a blast with the hose works well.

Typically pet-friendly, artificial grass products like ours are perfect for animal lovers– but if you have pets, and they like to use your artificial grass as a toilet, then you’ll have to do some extra cleaning. Namgrass is great for pets because it doesn’t discolour, but you don’t want pet waste to build up. Hose down the area after use, and if there is a lingering smell, use washing up liquid and warm water or a product specifically for cleaning artificial grass.

As you enjoy your garden, you’re bound to spill things. Whether it’s sticky foods as you enjoy the warm weather or an accident while your kids play, cleaning artificial grass is often a simple task. A damp sponge and a bit of water is usually enough to get rid of any spills. If it’s dried on or just a bit stubborn, cleaning artificial grass with vinegar will also work. A half-and-half mix of vinegar and water will usually do the job.

‘Can you clean artificial grass with washing up liquid?’ ‘Do I need to dry my synthetic grass lawn?’ There are plenty of questions you may have surrounding artificial grass maintenance, so we’ve provided a helpful list of a few key things you should avoid when cleaning artificial grass, and why.

• Regarding artificial grass tools, don’t use sharp objects that might cut or tear the artificial grass. If you’re trying to lever something off your grass that’s stuck or dried on, then use a putty knife or something blunt.
• Don’t use harsh chemicals on your grass to remove sticky stuff – this could damage the plastic. Instead, use washing up liquid, half-and-half of vinegar and water or specialist synthetic grass cleaner. This goes for pesticides too! Just use a hose to wash away any critters.
• If you are tempted to use something a bit stronger on a stubborn patch, then try a patch test on the corner of the grass or somewhere that’s not visible to see if the chemicals react with the grass.
• Don’t apply heat to your lawn. It will dry naturally after a hose down.
• Don’t use a domestic vacuum on your artificial grass. This may not work well for the grass or the vacuum, and in fact may damage them both. Use a garden vacuum instead.

Hopefully this guide has helped to answer most of your questions around cleaning artificial grass. All this will keep your lawn looking beautiful all year round, with much less maintenance than a natural lawn.
