Late autumn is the best time to lay artificial grass
We are often asked when is the best time to lay artificial grass? In our opinion late autumn is one of the best times.
Although you can lay artificial grass anytime of the year (in the UK), with temperatures 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.
Why is autumn the best time to fit artificial grass?
You will see many more benefits to fitting artificial grass in the autumn:
- A mud free outdoor space for the winter. Especially good if you have dogs or kids who use the garden regularly during the winter.
- Good looking useable outdoor space all winter long. Get the outdoor heaters out and some protection from the wind and you could be barbecuing all winter.
- No maintenance – If you are trying to maintain a real grass lawn autumn is the time of the year when there is a lot of hard work. You may have to sow new seeds or re-lay the grass entirely along with fertilizing, raking, aerating etc
- Fix your poor drainage. If your lawn tends to flood we can often help with drainage issues in the lawn by putting in soakways or advising on a suitable course of action before fitting artificial grass.
- Get your grass fitted quicker. Many people like to lay artificial grass during the spring/summer time when they are using it most which means it is harder to get a slot with the better artificial grass installation companies. Take advantage of a quieter time to get yours laid in the autumn without a long wait.
