FAQs

When is the best time to lay natural turf in Scotland?

The ideal times for turfing in Scotland are mid-spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to early October). These periods typically offer moderate temperatures and natural rainfall that promote root establishment while minimising stress. However, with proper irrigation and care, we can successfully install turf during other seasons. Summer installation requires more intensive watering, while winter turfing may take longer to establish fully.

How long does it take for newly laid turf to establish?

New turf typically begins rooting within 7-10 days under favourable conditions. The lawn becomes usable for light activity after 2-3 weeks, though full root establishment takes approximately 4-6 weeks during the growing season. During winter, this process may extend to 8-10 weeks. We provide detailed aftercare instructions specific to your installation season to ensure optimal establishment.

How long does artificial grass last?

The premium artificial grass products we install typically last 15-20 years with proper care. Factors affecting longevity include usage intensity, exposure to direct sunlight, and maintenance practices. Our installations include a stable base construction and quality materials that maximise durability. Many products also come with manufacturer warranties of 7-10 years, and we provide maintenance guidance to help extend your artificial lawn's lifespan.

Does artificial grass require any maintenance?

While significantly lower maintenance than natural lawns, artificial grass does benefit from periodic attention. Recommended maintenance includes occasional brushing to keep fibres upright (particularly in high-traffic areas), removing fallen leaves and debris, and rinsing to remove dust or pollen. For households with pets, additional cleaning may be required. We offer maintenance services to keep your artificial lawn in optimal condition, or we can provide you with the appropriate tools and guidance for self-maintenance.

Can you install turf over my existing lawn?

For optimal results, we recommend removing existing lawn before new installation. Laying turf directly over existing grass creates several potential problems, including poor root establishment, uneven surfaces, and drainage issues. Our comprehensive approach includes removing the old lawn, preparing the soil properly, and ensuring correct levels before laying new turf. This method provides the best foundation for a healthy, long-lasting lawn, whether natural or artificial.

Are there any areas where artificial grass isn't suitable?

While modern artificial grass is versatile, it may not be ideal for areas with extremely poor drainage or those surrounding certain acid-loving plants like rhododendrons and azaleas, as the alkaline materials in the base construction could affect soil pH. Steeply sloped areas present installation challenges but can be managed with specialised techniques. During our initial assessment, we'll identify any potential limitations and suggest appropriate solutions or alternatives for your specific garden conditions.
