Artificial Grass for Play Areas in Coventry

As the facilities and pupil's ages can differ quite considerably from primary to secondary schools the size, scale and requirements for a play area can vary quite a lot. Artificial grass for play areas for primary schools will often be a replacement for a section of grass and sometimes this will also be underneath some climbing frames or around other existing fixtures and fittings. This won't be an issue as we have installed all sorts of shapes of artificial grass for schools, especially primary schools. We have also installed shades of artificial grass other than green so please do let us know if this is also a consideration for your school.

For secondary schools artificial grass often replaced an existing concreted area which was marked out for a number of sports such as tennis, netball, basketball and football. Understanding what sports will be played will make a big difference is choosing a suitable synthetic grass. Whilst a multi-sport grass is a good all-rounder we have come across schools who have a reputation for excellence in a particular sport and want to focus on providing artificial grass for that sport. Either option is straight forward for us and this will come out during our consultation so we can advice on which will be the most suitable artificial grass for your schools playing area.

Artificial grass for Nurseries in Coventry

More and More nurseries are fitting a section of artificial grass in their outdoor play area. Some artificial grass for nurseries in Coventry is being installed indoors too as it is a very versatile floor finish and can come in some bright, vivid colours other than green which can provide a vibrant fun environment for young children.

When installing artificial grass outdoors we have found that rather than having part concrete and part real grass that installing artificial grass over the whole area provides a much safer and cleaner surface,  that requires minimal maintenance.

Whether  you want the whole area installed with additional padding throughout, or simply extra cushioning in the areas where you have climbing apparatus, to ensure you are covered with an appropriate level of Head Impact Criteria (HIC), it's no issue for us.

We want to ensure you have a safe, fun, flexible, durable and easy to maintain area for your staff and children to enjoy through out the year as much as possible.

Astro turf Sports Pitches in Coventry

For secondary and higher educational establishments when looking for artificial grass it is mostly to install astro turf sports pitches in Coventry.

This clearly isn't only limited to schools and educational establishments as many of our pitch and court installations have been for private organisations such as tennis clubs and 5-a-aside football sports venues. Regardless of which pot you come from our service and materials are ideal.

We specialise in the installation of 4G artificial grass, sometimes referred to as 4G astro turf. Most of the existing astroturf playing surfaces in Coventry and further afield who have an existing astroturf surface are likely to be playing on a 3G pitch. So, what's the difference between 3G and 4G grass? In very simple terms the product development in synthetic grasses has meant the the 4G option no longer requires an in-fill to help it retain its playing qualities and improve its longevity. Sand and more recently small rubber crumbs formed part of the top playing surface. For those of you who have played on these surfaces you will know that when it came time to taking your trainers and socks off there would be a small explosion of sand or small black rubber bits flying out all over the floor. If this was done in a changing room it would mean constant sweeping up and since all this infill would be leaving the playing surface it would need replacing every so often adding to the maintenance required.

All of that if gone with 4G grass - your players will love it and your maintenance and potential down time to top up and infill will be history.

Whether you are looking to install a new synthetic pitch or replace an old 3G surface our Education Approved operating lease facility will mean you can move forward with your upgrade without too much red tape getting in the way.

Please get in contact to find out more about our lease finance plan.

Frequently Asked Artificial Grass Coventry Questions:

  • Do you offer a supply only of artificial grass?

    Yes, we do. As mentioned our grass is superior to many others due to our choice of manufacturer and understanding of what makes up a superior artificial grass but having a great roll of grass does not guarantee you will have an excellent artificial grass lawn. 

    The quality of the installation will have the biggest impact on longevity and enjoyment, or frustration, with your new fake turf. 

    Whilst you may look at saving costs by trying to do parts yourself this could be a false economy. We understand it can be hard to put off an avid DIYer but there will be no guarantee issued and ultimately the buck will stop with you.

    Most artificial grass installers who install larger amounts of grass will have favourable rates with their suppliers so the rate at which they get the same grass as you might be looking to source. Clearly if getting artificial grass down instead of your regular grass is a priority and money is tight, then by all means let us know and we can recommend what may be the most suitable based on your budget.

  • How to select the best artificial grass?

    We can help you with this process. As mentioned earlier what ends up being one person's best artificial grass may not be another's. The primary differentiator should be how the grass will be used i.e. its primary purpose. For example, a nursery, as well as the grass, may want to have a rubberised underlay beneath it to help provide some additional protection should a child fall over on it. This will influence what artificial turf would be best to lay on top. A general multi-sports pitch will want a shorter pile than a football-only pitch to allow a hockey ball to slide along quickly or a tennis ball to bounce up enough. 

    Heavily walked on areas such as a balcony or terrace at a pub would again be better off with a short pile making it easy to clean and not having longer piles look messy by being continuously flattened down. 

    Dog owners would benefit from a mid-height pile making it easy to clean up after their dog. A different artificial grass would be best for one set of circumstances than another but with our range, we have got all the bases covered and can assist you as much as possible regarding the best choice for you and your budget.

  • What is the cost of fitting artificial grass in Coventry?

    For excellent quality, artificial grass to be fully installed using the best procedures, accessory materials, membrane, and proper drainage you would be looking at a £75-80 per m2 cost for an area of at least 30m2. This is when it is being fitted as a replacement for an existing natural lawn where its removal will also be factored into the cost. 

    Price can vary a bit from this depending on exactly which grass you have selected. Other factors which could influence the price following a survey would be the shape of the area being covered. Where you have a garden that has multiple flower beds or trees you want the grass to go around, these irregular curves and circular cut-outs will require many more fittings and more intricate cutting and jointing.

    Much larger areas will, as a general rule will have a lower price per m2 as some economies of scale can come into play.

    For larger astro turf playing surfaces pricing will be following a survey once we know exactly what is required and how the artificial turf will be finished and edged off.

  • Can artificial grass be fitted on top of concrete?

    Yes, it can. 

    The is becoming more common in business environments, commercial and retail premises.

    A number of larger businesses have their own canteens which can open up outside and allow tables and chairs to be set up there - artificial grass is proving a popular addition.

    As more businesses as taking greater ownership of staff welfare having breaks in a more pleasant environment can be achieved by using artificial grass to reduce the amount of barren concrete that staff lookover is popular. Before installation, it is worth checking the drainage just so that the artificial grass doesn't create a marshland!

    The same principles are being taken on board by a number of businesses that have customers - typically there to eat or drink. Where previously outdoor tables and benches rested on concrete, a dull patio, or simply a graveled surface transforming this will artificial grass can completely transform the area and make it much more appealing to customers and elevate your brand image in the process.


  • Will artificial grass fade over time?

    That will depend on the artificial grass you choose.

    Our grasses won't as they have been treated with a coating that provides protection against Ultra Violet light which is the waves of light emitted from the sun which cause items to fade in the sun. This is an aspect that may cause price differences from one grass to another as cheaper grasses may not have this coating. Our artificial grass is guaranteed for 10 years from fading.

  • What artificial grass maintenance do you recommend?

    Whilst maintenance requirements for the grass itself are low, if you want to maintain the aesthetics here are some tips:

    Regularly remove items that have fallen or been blown onto your artificial lawns such as leave and twigs which can degrade and engrain themselves into your turf. Using a brush, soft rake, or leave blower/vacuum should do the trick. If part of your lawn is in a very shaded area and much is allowed to build up moss could grow from it. applying a biodegradable anti- moss treatment will be fine - do not use bleach or other acid-based cleaning products. Other chemicals to keep away are oils, solvents, or fuels as they can damage the blades. Likewise, extreme heat can also damage your grass so cigarettes, barbeques, or fireworks where hot elements could drop onto your grass will cause blades to melt and fuse together. For snow and frost, these will not cause any damage so these can simply be left to melt away naturally.

    Most of the care advise is fairly common sense and if followed you will enjoy your grass for many years

  • Do I need to keep brushing in sand into my artificial grass?

    Adding sand on top of your artificial grass as a final step is something that other artificial grass suppliers and installers may still do. This practice is generally associated with sports pitches and was something that needed to be done on a more regular basis for these astroturf pitches however, our domestic grasses do not, and nor do our 4G artificial turf sports pitches. We provide a no-fill 4G pitch which also means no additional small rubber crumbs need to be added and brushed in either. These practises are generally associated with 2G and 3G artificial grass pitches.
