This might work for a small 4 foot square area like this but anything bigger requires hardcore substrate put down before the sand or after a heavy rain your sand underneath will just sink as you walk on it.
No it won’t because it’s compacted
Very satisfying to watch
Great video, very informative, feel confident I can do it myself now. But how much sand for how much space?
Great video. However bit daft you don't seem to sell some of the things mentioned i.e. the 100x25 timber and the wooden stakes.
Excellent video, right to the point! Thanks
Great straight to the point
Thank you! 🤗
nice work
awesome video. thanks so much for your help.
Probably the easiest method Ive found thank you!
Happy we could help 🥰
@@bandq other than the weed killer spray do you use anything else for weed prevention?
We use a weed control membrane, see 0:38 😊
Great video very informative. Hope you don't mind if I share it with our online shoppers.
We're glad you like it 😊 Sure thing 🌱
Can you lay this over the top on small stones.
Simple idea but a lot of work !
son huynh but after installing, not much maintenance compared to real grass
3/4 hours labour to save you an eternity of mowing and all year round greenness.
Nice
Can I just add granite dust to my settled mud where grass used to be? Instead of installing a type 1 sub layer first?
What size are the wooden stakes
Thanks for information
Nice 👍
Glad you liked it 😊
could you just roll it out on top of grass that does not grow and cut off the edges?
Does rain drain off through the turf and the membrane, or is there a need for allowing a runoff?
Artificial grass has ample drainage holes in it.
Normally a 75mm layer of compacted Type 1 hardcore would be laid under the sand to improve stability and drainage.
How would you compact the sand without that machine?
Hi, you can take small steps using your body weight to compact the sand but this will be quite time consuming. You could also try using a mallet on a plank of wood, however, you will need to use the same force throughout to ensure it stays level. Alternatively, you can saturate the sand with water. Once the water has ran through, it'll be nice and compact. However, as you will be covering it with artificial grass, it may be best to ensure it's dry first. Hope this helps! 🙂
What about drainage?
What timber was used here
Hi there, all details of products used can be found throughout the video. You will find the timber at 0:21 😊 We have used 100mm x 25mm timber in this video.
that timber will not rot at some point?
Hi, wood can be treated to protect against such things 🙂
1:07 OK, let's fill this with sand...
1:35 noooooooooooooooooooo!!! I already spent 24 hrs fillng it with sand...
Why artificial?
Low maintainance
Pretty much no maintenance
For lazy people!
Doesn't waste water, not much maintenance, no need for mower
Why is the sand required?
Hi 👋 Sand is required as it provides stability and protects the turf. We hope this helps 😄
