Why Use Weed Membrane Under Artificial Grass?

Although artificial grass blocks sunlight, weeds can still grow from below if proper ground preparation is not completed.

Installing weed membrane helps:

• Prevent unwanted weed growth
• Create separation between soil and sub-base
• Improve long-term lawn stability
• Maintain effective drainage
• Reduce maintenance over time

For best results, membrane should be installed before laying your sub-base.

Where Should Weed Membrane Be Installed?

Layer 1 – Over Soil (Recommended)

Install directly onto the excavated soil before laying MOT Type 1 sub-base. This is the most common and effective method.

Layer 2 – Beneath Artificial Grass (Optional)
Some installers add a second layer between sub-base and grass for additional weed protection.

For most residential projects, a single layer beneath the sub-base is sufficient.

How Much Weed Membrane Do I Need?

Allow for:

• Minimum 200mm overlap at joins
• Full edge coverage
• Small trimming allowance

We recommend ordering approximately 10% extra to allow for overlaps and cutting.

Example:
If installing 45m² of artificial grass, purchase 50m² or slightly more to ensure full coverage.

Is 70gsm Membrane Strong Enough?

Yes. 70gsm non-woven membrane is ideal for standard domestic artificial grass projects.

For trade or heavy-duty commercial applications, a thicker membrane may be preferred.

Installation Tips

• Roll out membrane flat and smooth
• Overlap all joins by at least 200mm
• Secure using Artificial Grass U-Pins or Weed Membrane Pegs
• Avoid excessive stretching
• Trim neatly around borders

Correct installation ensures effective weed suppression and long-term ground stability.
