Artificial Grass MEGATHREAD - No Advertising/Quotes

I have some tired but solid decking which I would like to lay artificial grass on. My concern is that water draining through the grass will have nowhere to go and rot the decking. If i drill holes in the decking for the water to drain that will accelerate the rot. Is there a way around this? Thanks

Pulling back an old thread here.

I'm looking to purchase some artificial grass for a remembrance plot in my garden. Only need it about 2m square. Anybody know where I could purchase some or if anyone has some to sell me

Thanking you for reading

Carpet shop next door to the Dronfield Arms looks like it has samples outside....Dronfield Bottom.....near railway bridge

Thank you for that. Has anybody any idea how much it costs?

Chocki, I got in touch with Hall Seasons Artificial Grass. He's just started up and is very cheap atm as he's wanting to build up a portfolio. He might have some off cuts to sell for you very cheap. https://www.facebook.com/hallseasonsartificialgrass

I'm sure he's got a competition running to win some grass as well, not sure if it's finished or not

It is if you've got a lot of money.

Any one else suffering with the smell of dog wee on their grass tried allsorts 

The sub base is sand not sure if thats the issue.

My sister in law has to regularly disinfect her artificial grass because of her dog weeing on it. The smell can get quite pungent, especially in warmer weather.

The lawn here has been down for some years, is of good quality and was laid by a specialist company. They used a base of something like crushed stone but I cannot remember the name - it had the word 'dust' in it. The drainage is good. It has never had chemicals applied other than spot treatment of weeds and it does not smell of dog urine. You might be right about the sand base causing the problem but like you, I don't know for sure.  Hopefully the heavy rain will improve matters.
