Our Services

LANDSCAPES

From front yards and back yards to nature strips, and everything in between. Choose from our recommended products, or we will happily install any grass you like.

Our popular grasses range from 30mm to 45mm in pile height, and all designs are made to replicate the look of real grass. The results have to be seen to be believed!

With an ability to box in the area with timber, brick or metal edging, or work within existing areas, the finished product is guaranteed to look smart.

EDUCATION

Synthetic grass has proven to be the answer to many problems around schools, especially with safety of kids. With a lush pile that can be laid over rubber underlay around playgrounds, to multi-sport areas that transform ugly old bitumen, we have the answer to your dilemmas.

We are happy to work through projects around the hours of school attendance, so there are no more reason to hold back.

MULTI-SPORT

Our multi-sport areas can be built to create basketball courts, tennis courts, and more. We use a variety of products from 9-20mm in pile height depending on the application, with majority requiring a sand infill.

Line-markings are traced and cut in by hand, then glued together to create a perfect surface. No stuffing around with painted lines that never last!

With surface preparation ranging from crushed rock to concrete, Feather Turf can make your sporting dreams a reality.

CRICKET

Synthetic cricket wickets and practice facilities provide the perfect solution to a losing battle against the hot summer months and water bills.

Purpose-built cricket grasses require no sand, and deliver a consistent bounce all year-round at training and on game-day.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

There are plenty of people who like to have a go at DIY with laying fake turf, but we definitely realise the gap in quality of the finished product. The following is a basic layout of a typical application of synthetic grass on a crushed rock base:

STEP 1 – Excavate the area

Depending on how the job is presented, the area will usually need to be excavated to around 60-100mm below finish height. Mowing or poisoning the grass prior to this step can help to speed up this process. Machines will be used if access is granted, otherwise just a turf cutter, shovels and wheelbarrows. We always like to ensure the excavated area is as flat as possible, to ensure a consistent base thickness.

STEP 2 – Build up the crushed rock

Once any necessary drainage is installed, a 20mm grade crushed rock is brought in, levelled and compacted in different stages. Wetting the area adequately before compaction allows for a stronger result. This process is key to the overall performance of the area, and a poor base will result in low spots that will be prone to pooling water and mould growth.

STEP 3 – Finish off the base with crusher dust

A final layer of around 10-20mm is applied with a fine crusher dust to ensure a perfect smooth surface. Again it is levelled off before being wet and compacted. This prevents stones from being felt under-foot, and now we are ready for grass to be laid.

STEP 4 – Lay the artificial grass

Turf rolls will be laid out in a way that minimises wastage and seam number. Any seams are butted in tightly together and sealed using an outdoor synthetic grass adhesive. The grass will be trimmed into external surfaces, such as the house or other garden edging around the perimeter. Edges are pinned down as necessary to avoid any trip hazards and to protect the application.

STEP 5 – Groom in the sand product

A power-broom is run over the application to stand up the grass fibres. Then a specialty sicila sand, which is very fine and dry, is evenly spread over the entire job. The power-broom is used again alongside a leaf-blower to iron out any high spots and ensure an even coverage.

This completes a Feather Turf installation! Don’t hesitate to ring us with any questions or more details about our Installation Guide.
