When is the best time to lay artificial grass?

Artificial grass can be layed anytime of the year in the UK

We are often asked when is the best time to lay artificial grass? There is no real right or wrong answer to this question. It depends.

Autumn, Spring, Summer and Winter all have their benefits for fitting artificial grass.

Autumn through winter

When temperatures are starting to drop below 10 degrees, which is the minimum soil temperature needed for grass to grow, and with wet weather more likely your existing grass will not grow and the hard bare soil will turn to mud. If you have pets and kids you will know that this can lead to mud being draped across the carpets and flooring in the house.

Spring

Spring is also good for it is nice to get your garden prepared in advance of the growing season. It will save you all the time and money associated with mowing, feeding, raking, hollow coring your lawn etc and give you more time to concentrate on the garden surrounds. Plus it is always nice to take time to relax in your garden.

Summer

In Summer the grass can turn yellow in a dry spell and it is nice to put down grass to add some green to the garden. If there is no rain up until the end of the grass growing season you can then be left with a patchy lawn throughout the autumn and winter.
