Reclaim Your Weekends with Artificial Grass

Artificial Grass does not need an underlay; however, it is recommended that it is laid on top of a subbase that generally consists of a soil or type of sand. This will ensure that your Artificial Turf doesn’t develop bumps over time. For more information contact Australian Outdoor Living and we will get one of our friendly sales consultants to help you today.

At Australian Outdoor Living all our artificial lawns are installed on top of a layer of dolomite. Dolomite is a substance that we use to ensure that your lawn stays flatter for longer. We use dolomite due to its durability – if we were to use dirt or regular sand your lawn would develop lumps after a couple of years. The base of dolomite is a standard thickness of 50mm, but customers do have the option to request a thicker layer.

To answer the question… yes dogs do like artificial grass!

Like with us, Artificial Grass has several characteristics that benefit dogs.

Here are just a few benefits that good quality Artificial Lawns have for your dog. Artificial Grass is soft and plush meaning your dogs can roll and lounge around on it without getting scratched or scorched like they would on hard surfaces like concrete. Artificial Grass can also be deterrent to ticks and fleas.

These bugs simply aren’t attracted to Artificial Grass like they are natural grass therefore giving you and your dog one less thing to worry about. It also doesn’t contain any spikes or prickles making it more comfortable for your dog to play around on. Quality Artificial grass is specially designed to drain liquid through it.

The drainage qualities of Artificial Grass also means that when your dog goes to the toilet on the grass you can easily pick it up and hose off your lawn allowing the water to then drain away. Find more about Why your dog will love synthetic grass.

There are plenty of ways to minimise the odours coming out of your artificial grass.

We recommend cleaning up after your dog or cat on a regular basis and regularly rinsing your lawn with a garden hose.

The main problem with this type of smell is that animal urine generally consists of particles that most cleaning products won’t be able to breakdown. Unfortunately, it’s these particles that release the unpleasant odours.

First off, it’s important that any option you go with doesn’t contain harsh or hazardous ingredients. Not only can this damage your artificial lawn, but they can also transfer onto your pet’s paws and cause irritation. Luckily, there are several tried and tested methods of getting unpleasant smells out of artificial lawn.

It is impossible to fully prevent all weeds from growing through your artificial lawn.

Whilst most weeds are removed during the ‘dig out’ portion of the installation, there will always be a stray weed that decides to poke its head through your grass.

We recommend spraying the area with weed killer, available from any local hardware store. Alternatively, you can simply pull them out when they appear.

Our artificial grass is hard to price up over the phone or on the spot. Guesstimates are just that – guesses – and so it can be misleading.

There are many different factors which affect the end figure – the type of lawn you choose, work required and access to name a few – which is why the best, and most accurate, way for us to quote is for us to visit on site and measure up your chosen area.

It is, for this reason, we offer a FREE design, measure and quote.

We will send one of our friendly staff to pop around to your place and help you achieve the result you’re after.
