Long, narrow tracks and gravel driveways are not a problem! Where possible, we can place turf pallets and product bulk bags around the back of your property. All we ask is for 9 ft x 9 ft clear access so the forklifts can get through safely.

Is Vinca Eco suitable for pets?

Yes! Vinca Eco artificial grass is non-toxic, easy to clean, and designed to withstand heavy pet traffic.

Can Vinca Eco handle heavy rainfall?

Absolutely! Its unique backing ensures efficient drainage and maintains a usable surface in all conditions.

Does it fade in sunlight?

Nope! Vinca Eco features UV-stabilised fibres that resist sun-fading and help keep the lawn a vibrant green all year round.

Do I need seams for large areas?

Vinca Eco is available in 4 m wide rolls, which helps reduce or eliminate seams, especially in larger gardens or commercial projects.

How do I clean artificial turf?

Rosemary artificial turf is extremely easy to clean and maintain. Brush off debris regularly. Rinse with water when needed, and remove any moss by hand or with gentle, biodegradable treatments. Don’t use bleach or acidic cleaners, as they can damage fibres.

Artificial Grass Installation Guide

Installing on Soil or Existing Grass (with a Containment Border – wall, sleepers, fence, etc.)

If your garden already has a boundary in place, follow this method to secure your artificial grass with glue for a cleaner finish and longer-lasting result.

Ground Preparation:

1. Plan your final height

Remove about 100 mm of existing ground so your new lawn sits level with surrounding areas.

2. Remove existing grass or soil

Dig out the turf or topsoil to your planned depth. Adjust this based on your desired finished height.

3. Compact the surface

Use a whacker plate or compactor to firm the area. At this stage, you can apply a weedkiller if required.

4. Lay the sub-base

Add 25–75 mm of aggregate, level it out, and compact thoroughly.

5. Apply sharp sand layer

Spread 15–20 mm of sharp sand and compact again to create a smooth, firm surface.

6. Install weed membrane

Roll out a geotextile membrane over the entire area to prevent weed growth. Stretch it tight and cut to fit.

7. Lay the artificial grass.

Unroll the turf, leaving 50 mm excess around all edges. For the most natural look, ensure the pile direction faces the main viewpoint (usually the property).

8. Trim and glue the turf

Carefully trim the edges from the underside using a sharp knife. Once aligned, lift the perimeter, apply an artificial glue to the base or edging surface, then press the turf back down and apply pressure along the edges.

Installing on Soil or Grass (without a Containment Border – open edge)

If your area doesn’t have a solid edge, create a cement trim to provide a clean, secure perimeter for fixing.

Ground Preparation:

1. Excavate to approx. 100 mm depth

Adjust to suit your desired final lawn height.

2. Compact the soil base.

Use a whacker plate to firm the area. Apply weedkiller now if needed.

3. Create a concrete edge

Pour a 50–75 mm high low haunch (cement border) around the perimeter. Allow it to fully set before continuing. This will hold your base in place and provide a permanent fixing edge for glue.

4. Lay and compact sub-base

Fill with 25–75 mm of fine aggregate, level and compact thoroughly.

5. Apply a layer of sharp sand.

Fill up to just below the cement edge. Level and compact to form a smooth base.

6. Install weed membrane

Lay across the entire area and cut to size, stretching tight to avoid folds.

7. Unroll and position the turf

Leave at least 50 mm around the edges to allow for trimming. Keep the pile direction facing your main viewing angle.

8. Trim and glue edges

Cut carefully from the underside. Apply outdoor adhesive directly onto the cement edge, then press down the turf, ensuring full contact.

Joining Artificial Grass

When your project requires more than one roll of grass, follow these steps to achieve a seamless join using glue:

How to Join:

1. Align the turf

Ensure the pile on both rolls faces the same direction. Lay them side by side and check for a tight, clean fit.

2. Trim the edges

Carefully trim the factory edges for a neater join. You want a minimal gap between the two pieces.

3. Apply jointing tape and artificial glue

Lay jointing tape underneath where the join will sit. Apply a zig-zag bead of artificial glue along the length of the tape.

4. Secure the join

Carefully fold both turf edges back over the tape, press down firmly, and smooth the join by hand.

5. Work in small sections

For best results, apply glue 2–3 meters at a time before moving on.

Where to Use Vinca Eco?

The resilience, beauty and performance of Vinca Eco make it a brilliant choice for domestic and commercial outdoor spaces.

Some of the most popular places our clients install Vinca Eco include:

• Low-maintenance Family Gardens: For busy families, a ready-to-go lawn which requires zero mowing, watering or maintenance means more time together than gardening.
• Enclosed spaces and courtyards: The instant, consistent green of Vinca Eco brightens enclosed areas and makes smaller spaces feel larger.
• Creating modern outdoor spaces: Artificial grass pairs wonderfully with porcelain, stone paving or composite decking for a contemporary garden design.
• Transforming balconies and terraces: Where natural turf isn’t practical, artificial grass can save the day and transform unusual spaces into outdoor havens.
• Improving struggling or shaded areas: If sunlight is limited and grass struggles to grow, fake grass is an easy fix for permanent green grass that lasts all year.
• Safe children’s play areas: Create a neat, practical, and soft area for kids to play without worrying about worn patches or discolouration of natural grass.
