This is one of the most frequently searched questions around artificial lawns. Though it may surprise some people, the answer is yes and it\u2019s not much more difficult than laying it on any other surface. Laying artificial grass on soil requires removing grass, weeds and other plants in order to prepare the ground for the lawn to be laid. When installing it on concrete, you don\u2019t need to do this as you can just lay it on top of the concrete. However, there are some additional steps to take when laying artificial grass on concrete as opposed to laying it elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is the concrete able to drain water and fluids properly?<\/li><li>Is the surface of your concrete smooth?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, you need to check the state of the concrete \u2013 is it able to drain water and fluids properly? This is to prevent any issues around the drainage of water from the artificial grass as this can damage your artificial turf. If the answer to this question is no, we recommend that you drill holes into the ground (around 16mm in size) so that the water has a suitable place to drain. These holes should then be filled with pea gravel ensuring that the water can run through and be fully absorbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You then need to check the surface of your concrete, is it smooth? Any loose stones or debris could damage your artificial lawn. It is best to brush your concrete to clean it before thinking about installing artificial grass on concrete. This is so your artificial turf can look as high quality as possible as nothing should show \/ stick through your artificial lawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also possible to install artificial grass on an uneven concrete surface, but it requires extra care. You will need to make sure there are no stones, bumps or rocks that could tear the surface of your new artificial lawn. The end result should be similar to that of an artificial grass which has been installed on soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, this isn\u2019t an easy thing to do on your own. We recommend that you get in touch with a professional installation team for best results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope this blog post answers your question around whether artificial grass can be laid on concrete.
