Artificial grass install in my garden. Bournemouth & Poole
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 03. 2019
- Not exactly tech related but I did use a THiEYE T5E action cam in time lapse mode to capture the video at 4K.
10 bags of fine sand was liberally spread over the grass a day later. This helps with weighing it down and it also feels better under foot.
If you are in the Bournemouth or Poole area of UK you can check out the installer at...........

#GreatJob. :) People don't realise the work involve with installing artificial grass. Thank you for uploading and sharing. :)
Superb job and looks great.Brilliant video to.well done.
That's a lot of work! nicely done!
Thanks for the video, thumpin music, and of course we know the project isnt complete until the resident doggo does their final inspection lol
Just had this done. The guys who did mine did it different. They put pads down first. Then the turf and raked sand on top.
There is no right way of doing it, only wrong ways😉
@@ricco123tube is the way they did mine the wrong way? Lol
They should prepare the surface as they did with mine.
Not sure what you mean by "pads".
@@ricco123tube they are lawn pads. You can put them directly under the turf. Different thicknesses. Gives it more comfort
Not familiar with that.
As long as it looks good and level, then should be great.
That was a huge amount of work but it turned out looking great.
It was imagine if they had done it right like put a forma in ,kiln dried sand to stabilise the grass to help when it wants to expand and shrink to help with creases, also a stretcher to fit it properly and 3 inches of type one and 1 inch of granite dust because no one uses sharp sand anymore the list goes on.
And yet it still looks brilliant with no issues.
been thinking about this 4 a while and liked your video well done
And I'm local aswell BONUS👍👍
I'd love to do this as a career, excellent job fellas!
Go for it.
Very nice 👍
Why did you not put sand on top after you lay the grass seen other people do that
I did but a day later.
We just had this done but the guys we has made cement edges and glued the grass down. Is that as effective as pegging it down? Thanks
That sounds good to me. The glue should be fine if it's the correct stuff. I'd assume it is.
@@ricco123tube Thanks for your fast response.👍
Great job looks the part 👍
So I can't just lay it over the grass, and use gaffa tape to stop weeds at the side, should be ok, maybe?
U joking??
Just incase you are not, NO!
Nice job
I work as a Landscaper Gardner myself in London, you have done an incredible job on this. Although people always think there is competition and rivalry in Landscaping there is so much work for everybody in this area. It’s great to watch each other doing these jobs and we learn tips that can speed things up aswell as learn different ways. How long did the job take? Also did you use standard metal u pins? Great work.
The job took the guys about 3 hours. Metal u pins were indeed used.
Day later I placed 10 bags of fine sand around the edge and all over.
Hope that helps..?
Cant see it being done in 3hrs,
You are correct. It was 3hrs 15mins.
Great job. Would I have any problems if I didn't use the machine for flattening the sand I don't fancy spending over £1000 for one to use it once?
You can hire one from HSS for about £50 a day.
I've laid astro mate without it,as long as flat a compresses some way all good. I used a sleeper to bang it down
Proper job .
Hi
Looks good
What did you use to pin it down?
I didn't see any wood to nail into, so I'm assuming they just nail into the ground.
Metal u pins into the ground. Very secure.
Good job, music was best part lol
A propah bangin TUNE !! 👆👇🙌
Was there any consideration for proving a ‘fall’ so that the rain can be directed a specific drainage route and what happened to the silver sand over the entirety of the job to hold the grass down and keep it looking upright and fluffy rather than flattened.
Fine sand was added on another day and drainage had already been well and truly proven in this area. There's also four drainage spouts on the lower wall just in case.
Hi, might be a silly question but does it matter if the membrane goes down first then the hardcore on top of the membrane and the grass directly on top of the hardcore?
Yes you should spray weed killer then put down a membrane first
How come you didn't use kiln dried sand after laying the grass? Was this something the client didn't want or just the way you do it?
10 bags were used a day later.
Love it. Hilarious! Would have been great to end it with Leeloo taking her first dump on it. Good idea for a time lapse. Presumably the chaps didn't mind as it's a bit of advertising. Now you said that you were knackered after this but I didn't notice you on there! I'm sure you did a lot of work before and after the video ;-)
What brand grass did you use? Want to do this for my back patio but not looking to go broke
Can't remember the brand now..
It certainly looks good, better than the stuff you see at the supermarket but not overly expensive. £18 psm if memory serves.
What did you hammer into the grass to hold it down and what into loose debris 🤣
Thinking of pulling my old lawn and doing artificial. Could you kindly let me know each product you used.? Would of made this video much better if it came up on screen each step. Good upload though. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks
Its just building aggregate and topped with sharp sand. Layer of weed membrane then lay the grass.
I used 10 bags of kiln sands around the edges and throughout the top of the lawn to weigh it down.
Simples
Didnt see them take one single brew break
Not once.
What would you fellas charge to lay a 5.5m x 4m wide fake grass in Brighton, would like to know..
Отличная альтернатива живому газону.Не надо косить каждые две недели....
Don't know what your comment say's, but I'm going to assume it's good.
Hi could you tell what you were using with the hammer to keep it down please
Metal u pin.
Also 10 bags of fine sand, not seen in video.
Why didn’t you screed the sand to get it level?
Not necessary.
Should do it for block paving though.
Amazing! If you fancy coming down to Kent you can do mine for me 👍
U got a number pal? We do this
It's a future plan but definitely impressive
Just needs ironing
Can u just put membrane over the old grass if flat and then artifical on
Not really, no.
Once the old grass and its root system die off it will then become muddy and also possiblity of standing water.
Hi, very informative video.. very curious I have a back garden slightly smaller and am looking for that exact finish. Does the company service London??!
Thanks
Probably a bit out of their area of work.
Worth asking though.
What was put down one grass was lifted please
Hardcore, sharp sand and then a permeable membrane.
How much did this cost all in? Thinking of getting same done and it’s about the same size? Thanks
1800
Is the weed barrier absolutely necessary ?
I'm gona lay on top of 26 inches of hardcore then the sand - no drainage issues so do I need it ?
Artificial grass has perforated holes for drainage, so the recommendation is to lay a weed barrier.
Not absolutely necessary, but another layer of protection.
Thanks for the video. What kind of aggregate did you use beneath? And the tarp? Thanks again!
Used standard builders fine aggregate and standard permeable weed control membrane.
You want type one - (MOT) 3 inches and 1 inch granite dust don't use sharp sand it's sh.. !
@@ricco123tube doesn't the artificial grass already have membrane on it ? just about to order some ?
Personally i put terram under the sub base and i put a bit more depth of type 1 than these guys did. The membrane underneath the grass is a geotextile membrane if you can budget in using a foam layer instead you wouldn’t regret it .
@@Dan-wo4bx Terram under sub base is what I got taught, MOT type 2 apparently better for drainage also but type 1 is fine.
Great job but just wondering about drainage as I’m looking to get something like this done too?
Artificial Grass that drains through
If you use a membrane and compact the type 1 then cover with granite dust compacted there are small drainage holes on the back of the grass
Great video, I’m about to do the same.
How’s the drainage ? after few days rain can you step on the grass.
How big is the area ? I see you used two bags aggregate.
Where did you get the grass ? Trying to find custom cut to size… fair big mine 😊
Was the base crushed rock and sand? If so, was it a specific type of sand? Looks great!
Hardcore and sharp sand.
Also 10 bags of fine sand on top to finish.
@@ricco123tube can you put the same sharp sand on top of the artificial grass instead of a fine sand?
Watching this now looks so outdated
I don’t know why you put Type1/mot sub base down at all. Under paving slabs sure but artificial turf weighs very little so real does not require type1/mot
Its not the weight thats the issue, its to stop the earth beneath the grass from becoming soaked and moving under foot. Keeps the lawn flat.
What depth that sub base at??
A sub-base (graded to MOT Type 1) underneath the turf promotes proper drainage and provides a solid foundation to lay the artificial grass on top of - and make sure you remember the geotextile membrane underneath to prevent the sub-base sinking into the soil below. Cover the area with a sub-base and compact in two layers to a depth of 70-75mm using a compactor plate.
👍
Dan bit of a contradiction there between your first comment and last
I got a job doing this for a couple off months but I'm not strong 😩
You'll get stronger the more you do it. Plus a good diet helps.
What’s this yalow sand call you are using it
Thanks
Sharp sand
Hello.
I am from Malaysia. I came across to your video and I was impressed with your neat works.
I would like to install the synthetic grass at my backyard too. Here is the problem. There are various selection of the height (mm) of synthetic grass. I am still confusing to select the right one. Can you help and advise?
Hi what gravel and sand did you use
Hardcore gravel and sharp sand.
This looks great, doyou not nail down the edges onto timber edging? I always thought you had to?
Not necessarily needed. Here in the UK the wood would rot within a couple of years because Iit so wet.
@@ricco123tube Yes, can work without timber edging, but saying that timber frame will rot in couple of years?
Added uk wet joke. Always blooming raining here. Wasn't being literal.
Does it not need weed membrane
I wonder if you can get the grass in blue? Blue grass
Probably yes....
สวยจัง
And how do you attach edges to ground 🤔
Ground spikes.
What kind of stone you guys using it?
Thank you
Type 1 sub base
Is it expensive for them to supply & fit fake grass
Always best to get several quotes from established installers.
Did you fix timber around the perimeter so you could nail the grass down?
No. It wasn't necessary. The grass is kept in place with u pins and ten bags of fine sand.
It cannot be lifted without significant effort and in the wet uk timber would soon rot.
@@ricco123tube did you hammer in the u pins all over the grass or just in certain areas?
Around the edges mostly, the 10 bags of fine sand does the job for the rest of the lawn.
Hi Do you remember how much labour cost you. Thank you
It was one price for the lot.
What will happened to the drainage?
The grass and weed control is permeated.
No issues at all.
I don’t like real grass anyway because if you have a garden with real grass In the uk, number 1 it gets muddy and you can’t play, number 2 you have to mow it and water it, number 3 if you have a dog, it gets ruined by the piss. Also don’t complain about silly bad for habitats because there a centillions of trees in the whole world and for your garden it’s just better to get fake grass and let the fields around the world just be real grass. Who agrees
How long did it take them to do this? I.e. how long is the timelapse over?
4 ish hours
Sand is not good the dog wee doesn't drain properly by that i mean the dogs wee will spread across the surface of sand snd after a period of time will really smell. I know this because there is a demonstration video on CZcams by Top Dog Turf explaining what happens wee on a sand substrate and fast drain substrate. Search it and you will see for yourself.
Ummm, well it drains perfectly fine on my lawn and if I pour a bucket of water it drains straight away.
Also, doesn't smell. We do clean the lawn mid summer using eco friendly fragranced dog cleaner solution.
@@ricco123tube Did you take a look at the Top Dog Turf video on your CZcams showing what happens on wee demonstration,Just asking that’s all.
Ah I see, that's not the same as our installation. The sharp sand isn't the base layer and is just a topping to smooth and fill the hardcore. The membrane is a highly porous layer and I doubt any reputable installer will use anything other than this.
Top dog turf is an installer and I imagine their video is about promoting their service by stating some fairly obvious scenarios. It's a sales video.
@@ricco123tube I spoke to the owner of Top Dog Turf they don't install and hardly sell any artificial grass. There main focus is the cleaning products she set the company up approximately 7 years ago and learned all the science needed to create the cleaning solutions. Every company promotes even where you get your cleaning solutions.
@@ricco123tube also the demo was about substrate not artificial grass.
How much that cost?
It depends on the quality of the artificial grass.
1500-2300.
Ricco123tube was that just for material or also labor
2 bulk bags sand 2 subbase tool hire and grass and membrane is not that dear even for the best quality
How much does something like that cost.
£1800. Materials, labour and a large skip.
No weed killer?
Lol, nice but what happens with days with excessive rain or snow?
Its permeated. Goes straight through it.
Ricco123tube but the ground was covered with a heavy black plastic cover and dons see where the water can drain
Its weed control layer. Its all permeated. Water goes straight through both layers.
Replacing one of the worlds most popular plants with plastic grass..... This trend is worrying for the environment.
With a dog it's impossible to keep the lawn healthy. I'd rather a fake lawn that lasts 15-20 years than the huge amount of chemicals I used trying to keep the lawn healthy.
Plastic is everywhere, including the device you used to write the comment. Cobalt in lithium batteries, also used for manufacturing petroleum. Do you drive?
Polypropylene, nylon or polyester carpets, sofas, clothing etc etc.
I have recycled for over 25 years, buy fresh and mostly non processed foods, have solar panels plus solar hot water, haven't used airplane holidays for years, only drive when necessary etc etc, all of which greatly reduces my carbon footprint.
You?
@@ricco123tube 🤣
@Ricco123tube absolutely brilliant response LMAO. currently making a list of materials to do this myself. Looks great what u've done
Amazing job. How much would you charge for the same size of the garden ? thanks !
You can contact the installer listed in the description.
What did u put under the membrane ?
Sub base and sharp sand.
@@ricco123tube thank you bud - i am gonna attempt to do this myself...I'm scared I'm gonna mess it u but why not give it a try
Better to try and fail than not try at all.
Although I'm sure you'll do well.
No sand on top ?
Yes plenty.
no sand on top?
Yes, 12 bags. Done day later.
@@ricco123tube ohhhh k ,ty
Why do you put sand on top a day later?
@@rikardo2891
1. for weight
2.to keep the grass straight ( for a natural look )
Rick K it can go on any time, just weighs the grass down and also keeps the blades upright
what is this job called?
Landscape gardening....?
Hi Could you please give me a call Cheers Phil of Home & Garden Alliance - Thanks
Stay well clear of a Home and Garden mag. Rip off
Why you put the dry sand on top mate any reason ?
Thanks
The kiln sand weighs it down, protects the grass at base and gives it a solid feel under foot.
Thanks very much very kind of you
How much did you pay for this quality ?
Well under 2k
20 mil deeper
Some context would be great.
lol @ 1/2" of subbase.
Um... No.
Not sure you have to do all that...
Please elaborate.
Depends on how you want it to look in a year's time.
The job was done right,
Remove all old turf down to a depth of 4"
Level off.
Crushed stone (30 to dust?) Compacted.
Sand compacted
Weed barrier
Grass carpet (nice to see no joints)
Trimmed and pegged
And kiln dried sand sweep into the base.
Removal of all rubbish and tidy site.
£1800 well spent.
Customer got a good job for a fair price and contractor didn't cut corners with materials or labour.
@@brianiswrong Kind of bogus.....
Should have used the Benny Hill music. This video has put me off having AG. TOO much work. Stick to grass.
Too much work with grass made me move to AG.
