If you’re searching for a natural-look surface that’s low-maintenance and lasts for years, artificial grass is the perfect choice. However, many of our customers have questions about the installation process before they take the next step. Can artificial grass be installed on concrete? What about an apartment balcony? Can I install artificial grass myself?
We’re answering some of the most common questions to help you feel confident before your installation begins.
How is artificial grass installed?
The Easigrass artificial grass installation process begins by removing the existing surface, preparing a solid sub-base, adding a geotextile weed membrane, and laying and securing the artificial grass. Creating a solid sub-base is probably one of the most important steps as it helps us create a solid foundation for your artificial lawn. This also ensures that water is able to drain effectively, which allows heavy rainfall to drain without pooling on the surface.
Finally, to provide a natural-look finish, we brush the fibres in the opposite direction, creating a finish that’s ready to enjoy!
Can artificial grass be installed on any surface?
Artificial grass can be installed on a range of surfaces, including soil, concrete, decking, and patios. However, it’s important to note that each surface requires its own preparation method. For example, when installing artificial grass on soil, we first remove any existing grass and organic matter. This creates a stable, level foundation that helps prevent an uneven or lumpy finish and ensures nothing will grow between your artificial lawn.
How much does artificial grass cost?
The total cost of artificial grass will depend on various factors, including the size of your garden and the Easigrass artificial grass product you select. Artificial grass is a significant investment. However, the cost is often offset by the long-term benefits of a professional installation, including less maintenance and upkeep costs.

Is professional installation better than DIY?
While installing Easigrass artificial grass yourself might seem like the affordable route, it might cost you in the long run. To ensure a flawless finish that lasts for years to come, we always recommend having artificial grass professionally installed. Our experienced team is not only equipped with the relevant knowledge to handle whatever your garden may throw at us, but we also have the tools needed to ensure seamless finish.
How long does installed artificial grass last?
High-quality artificial grass can last up to a decade, and even longer when it is professionally installed and regularly maintained.
