Artificial Grass for Play Areas Reading

Artificial grass for play areas in Reading is becoming increasingly popular in schools and especially nurseries. Whilst there are other options such as chip bark or rubber mulch both have some degree of mess and hassle associated with it. Sand and crumbs or rubber mulch often come loose and have a tendency to find their way from people to places. Whilst this is fairly minimal with rubber mulch the alternative of wood chippings, whilst cheap, is quite excessive. Not only can small bits of wood be brought into your building but in high winds the wood chips can be blown out of their designated area and become a maintenance headache. After a year or so the wood will start to degrade further and smell, which will generally require a full replacement.

Unless your play area is set up like Fort Knox it is also likely that animals such as foxes or cats could use your play area as their toilet. As well as the unwelcome mess this can make it can also bring some health risks to younger children. An artificial grass play area provides no hiding place for animal fouling which means it provides a safer and more hygienic solution too.

  • Do you supply as well as fit artificial grass for schools?

    Our expertise is supply and fit. We pride ourselves on the qualitty of our artifical grass installation and when issuing guarantees most artificial grass fitters will only provide guarantees on materials they are familiar with and have sourced themselves. If you are trying to get artificial grass on a budget beware as this may be a false economy. Regular artificial grass installers will have good trade rates with their synthetic grass suppliers so should be able to get the materials as a better price than you can get yourself. Whilst there are several online companies which will offer budget grasses a good or bad installation will make the biggest difference to the enjoyment of your artificial grass.

  • Which is the best artificial grass for play areas?

    There isn't one single best artificial grass that will be best for every location, cirumstances, budget and purpose. Also when referring to a play area this could be for young children or playing sports. This is the reason we and other artifical and astro turf provides have a range. The best example of this surrounds the use of artificial grass in a play area. If you are looking at getting a 4G football pitch, which can be used for other sports such as Hockey or tennis then this will have very different attributes to a luxury artifical lawn. Hockey or tennis players would hate trying to play their sport on a 45mm high thick lush, luxury artificial grass - it would be a nightmare for them. 

    Similarly if your play area is for children to use and if you are planning on having raise apparatus such as climbing frames over the artificial grass area than more important than the grass will be the inclusion of additional shock pads being installed under the synthetic grass. Talk to the experts at Artificial Grass Reading and once we know how you intend to use your fake grass we can help you decide on the best artificial grass for you!

  • How much is artificial grass installation for a school in Reading?

    This will depend on what specification of grass you choose, how large the area you want covered, its shape and what is the existing surface it is replacing?

    Generally the larger the area the slightly cheaper the total cost per square meter but ther have to be caveats to this. If the shape of the area you want to cover is an unusal shape or width you may end up with a large amount of artificial grass wastage. Artifical grass comes in rolls and the width of the roll will influence how much wastage you have and wether joining two widths of grass will be required. All grass bought will be yours, so any off cuts can perhaps be utilised in other areas of your garden but for the section in question this will pro rata a higher square mter rate.

    If you have no clue as to what to expect then a good start point would be to use £75 per m2 to give you an indication of what your area could cost for full supply and fit with our most popular grass in a garden scenario.

  • Does your artificial grass fade over time if played on frequently?

    No. All are grasses include a UV protective coating which prevents the grass from fading and should continue to look great well past our standard guarantee period of 10 years regardless of how often it is played on.

  • What do you recommend as edging for artificial grass in a play area?

    This will depend on your specific fitting and location. Whereas wooden sleepers are very popular as an edge for gardens this step may not be the best option for a play area. Sometime it is but if there is an existing wall or fence enclosing a play area we will fit a frame around the area at ground level to which the edges of the grass will be fixed down to. This will allow the grass to go right up to the existing edging, wall or fence.

    The aesthetic finish is a very personal choice so we tend to let you let us know what you would like and if we know it is practical to do we will happliy provide you with your choice of edge finish.
