Artificial grass for nurseries
Children love to play outside but it isn’t always ideal if the surface is rough, uneven or muddy! Artificial grass provides a great alternative for nurseries to use outside. It is soft under foot, hard wearing, durable and easy to clean making it ideal for an environment with lots of young children.
With artificial grass installed at your nursery the amount of time the children can spend outside can be increased due to the reduction of mud and mess, perfect for very young children who explore with their mouths! Artificial grass can be enjoyed year round by the children.
Along with classic green, bushy artificial grass we supply a ‘Schools and Playtime’ range which is made using bright, vivid colours that can be used to create any design you wish! Excite the children’s imaginations with fun shapes and games built into the grass without worrying about it wearing away from use.
Use contrasting colours to create shapes, numbers, letters or board games safe in the knowledge that the pattern will remain as bright and vivid in years to come as it was when it is first installed.
All of our grass is made to the highest quality ensuring it will put up with the excessive use of your nursery, along with being low maintenance.
Bring the children’s imagination to life at your nursery with a fun, beautiful and long lasting pattern or game that will stop muddy feet being brought back inside and lessen your maintenance!
To ensure you can complete your project to the highest standard and to the spec you desire we provide artificial grass in the following fun and exciting colours:
- Lime
- Trendy turquoise
- Brilliant brown
- Purple
- Black
- Pink
Make the most of all of your outside space by transforming previously unusable areas with artificial grass at your nursery. A permanent, soft and fun area for the children to enjoy!

How to lay artificial grass
How to lay artificial grass
Laying and installing your own artificial grass is a great way to save money if you’re on a tight budget! Artificial grass makes a great alternative for a real lawn and requires none of the maintenance!
Forget weeding, mowing and watering and just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your hard work!
Step by step guide to laying artificial grass
Step 1
Remove any existing turf. If the area you are looking to cover is relatively small, then you can do this with a spade. If you are covering your entire back or front garden, you may want to hire a turf cutter to speed the job up and save on effort! Ideally you should dig down to about 40mm.
Step 2
Apply a base layer – Spread out a layer of sharp builder’s sand to a depth of 35mm as a base to the artificial turf.
Step 3
You need to compact and level the sand to make an even surface for laying the grass. Builders planks and a heavy hammer are great tools for levelling off. Don’t get too caught up in making a perfectly level surface, you can leave gentle mounds and slight slopes.
Step 4
Weed prevention! Roll out a weed membrane across the sand ensuring the joints overlap by 300mm.
Step 5
Roll out your new grass! When you lay the grass out, ensure the ends of the rolls are staggered and don’t end in a straight line. When you unroll your grass you’ll notice that the grass has a slight angle to it, lay the grass with the pile leaning towards the house. This helps to give the grass a fuller and more natural look when looking at it from the house. It’s important to make sure the grass rolls are laid in the same direction and that the blades of grass all point the same way. Lay the rolls directly next to each other with no blades caught in-between.
Step 6
Use a craft knife to trim the edges of the grass to get a neat finish
Step 7
After you have rolled out all of the artificial grass, you need to fix the rolls together. You can do this by using jointing tape – make sure it is rough side up – and place it along where the rolls would join. Add adhesive to the tape and place the edges onto the tape, making sure no blades touch the glue.
Step 8
Hide the joints. Once two rolls are joint together, ruffle the grass along the joint to blend them together and disguise the seal.
Step 9
Secure the edges of the grass using ground pins every 20 cms ruffling the grass over the pins to hide them.
Step 10
Give the grass a good brush with a stiff broom to raise the pile and give it a full natural look.

Maintaining your artificial lawn
At Artificial Grass & Turf solutions, it is our belief that the maintenance of your artificial lawn is just as important as when you first install it.
Professional grass cleaning
From our experience we recommend that you should have your lawn professionally cleaned at least once a year. We routinely book these appointments in during January and February to remove the mess, mud and debris that winter brings.
Not only will this extend the life of your lawn, it will also keep it in the best condition it can be, all year round.
Cleaning your artificial grass – DIY Tips
Some maintenance can be done by yourself at home to help extend the life of your artificial grass.
Removing leaves – To avoid leaves rotting down and causing discolouration, it is important to remove them, especially during the autumn months when trees are dropping their leaves. This can be done with a flexible lawn rake, a broom with stiff bristles or a stiff brush.
Raising the pile – Over time your grass may begin laying flat in areas of high use. No need to panic as this is simple to fix! Simply brush the area with a stiff brush to bring the blades back up!
Removing pet waste – Artificial grass is pet friendly, and removing pet waste is simple. Simply use your preferred method of picking up animal waste (plastic bag or poop scoop) and hose down the area. If you wish you can add a mild detergent to give yourself extra peace of mind that the area is now clean and sanitised then you can!
