Decking

Artificial grass for decking can transform your drab, dull outdoor space into a luscious, green and soft area that’s also super low-maintenance.

Our artificial grass is perfect for making the most out of your garden – children and pets love it, too!

Are you looking to transform your outdoor decking area into a green, natural-looking space?

If so, artificial grass for decking could be an ideal solution. It’s much more low-maintenance, and provides a safer surface for children to play on – without the risk of slipping after rain. It’s also perfect for entertaining guests, or just making the most out of your garden any time of the year.

So, if your decking constantly attracts moss, or is starting to look its age, fake grass could be a viable option. And the good news is that it can be installed directly on top of your decking – as long as it’s in relatively good condition first (more about that below).

The addition of a safety shock pad layer makes artificial grass super safe for children to play on, so you won’t have to worry about bumps or falls. It’s also very cost effective, and tends to be slightly cheaper than a typical artificial grass installation, at £45 – £55 + VAT per square meter.

We’ve installed artificial grass on top of decking in many gardens across central Scotland, and it’s amazing how it can completely transform a space.

How is artificial grass for decking typically installed?

First, your chosen artificial grass specialist must ensure that your decking boards are in good condition, level, and completely free of rot. If this is the case, your installation can go ahead. If not, then they may be able to offer some remedial work to get it up to scratch first.

A typical artificial grass installation on decking involves brushing and power blowing the area, before applying a weed barrier. Then, an optional shock pad layer goes on top, before the artificial grass is laid down.

Your artificial grass installer will then apply the final touches, before either tacking or stapling down the perimeter of your grass to ensure it is secure and won’t move.

Because decking is such a hard surface, installing a shock pad layer is recommended. If you’re mainly getting your artificial grass for kids to play on, this extra layer of protection is ideal, as it comes in thicknesses of 10mm, 18mm or 25mm and can achieve a critical fall height of 2.6m.

However, if your pets are going to be using the grass often, it may be best not to include this in your installation, as the extra layer can soak up urine and start to smell. The other option is to remove your decking, and carry out a regular artificial grass installation to solve both issues.
