Full details

This 7mm budget artificial grass from B&Q is ideal for homeowners seeking a consistently green, low-maintenance lawn for gardens, play areas, or pet spaces. Its key benefit is providing a realistic, year-round aesthetic without the need for mowing or watering. A potential consideration is its 7mm pile height, which may feel less luxurious than thicker options.

Does the grass require sand infill?

Will the color fade in the sun?

The artificial grass is UV resistant, which helps to prevent fading from prolonged exposure to sunlight.

What is the pile height of this artificial grass?

Can I cut the grass to fit my specific garden shape?

Yes, the artificial grass can be easily cut with a sharp utility knife to fit complex shapes and sizes during DIY installation.

What happens if it rains heavily?

The grass features a water-permeable backing that allows rainwater to drain through easily, preventing waterlogging.

Troubleshooting

Grass blades not staying upright

Brush the grass against the pile direction to lift the blades. Ensure the sub-base is firm and well-compacted.

Water pooling on the surface

Check that the sub-base is adequately sloped for drainage and that the permeable backing is not obstructed. Ensure no debris is blocking drainage channels.

Uneven appearance after installation

Allow the grass to relax in the sun before cutting. Trim carefully from the back. If necessary, use a stiff brush to lift flattened areas.

Stains on the grass

Rinse the affected area immediately with water. For stubborn stains, use a recommended artificial grass cleaner and follow product instructions.

Weeds appearing through the grass

Ensure a high-quality weed membrane was installed correctly beneath the aggregate base. Remove any visible weeds by hand.

  3. Cut to Size: Use a sharp utility knife to trim the grass to the desired shape, cutting from the back for precision.
