Outside is the new inside, and that also applies to our balconies or terraces. These, often smaller, spaces offer a lot of possibilities and can be transformed into the nicest spot in your home in no time at all with the help of artificial turf, wood, paint and other (recycled) materials.
Would you also like to create a nice, green oasis where you can completely and totally relax? Whether your terrace is large or small, we have a few tips that are perfect for every budget!
A bit of green
The colour green does a lot: it brings calm and balance and improves concentration. There are so many reasons to bring some greenery onto your balcony or terrace! This can be done in many different ways: pots with hanging plants and flower boxes are top notch classics. Those who are able to make even a cactus die will benefit from artificial hedges or a strip of artificial grass that you can easily attach to different surfaces using screws, or enough weight.
A little light
Is your balcony surrounded by grey walls? Then a lick of white/light paint will do lots of wonders. The fresh colour reflects light from the environment and will lift your entire terrace to a hike level. Other elements that catch the ambient light are to be placed strategically.
A little privacy
We all like to have a place where our privacy is sealed from our neighbours. Screen off a corner with ease by joining or adding clip-on panels or sweep your local thrift shop for a nice paravent or fabric to build a bit of privacy.
Some more texture
Whether your patio is large or small, add some texture to your feet. Think wooden panels or even a soft piece of artificial grass. This way you can dream of more evenings of barefoot enjoyment and relaxation on your terrace!
A lot of fun
Smaller terraces can be made cosy in a jiffy with folding furniture and cushions. All these items can easily be used indoors or put away when not in use. Accessories help you bring a little extra colour. Choose one colour to create harmony and warmth or make it a happy mess with different shades, new or upcycled!
And a touch of yourself
Inspiration can be found anywhere but don’t forget that this is YOUR place. So select the things that will make you happy and that you look at with glee and satisfaction every day.
Have fun!
You can easily upgrade your patio with some greenery and nature, a new ground cover such as artificial grass, and some colourful accents. A beautiful terrace will not only give you satisfaction, but if done in the right way, it will also add value to your premises.
INSTALLATION
The only alternative to equip a terrace or balcony with a decorative lawn is using artificial grass. It can be laid on all smooth surfaces permanently without any hindrances. Built-in drainage allows the moisture to drain away so that there is no swamp after it rains. The lawn can stay on the balcony or terrace in summer and winter, cold temperatures don’t bother it much. The lawn forms an appealing surface that feels pleasing to walk on barefoot and that gives the balcony or terrace a homely look. Due to the modern types of artificial turf, you can hardly distinguish between natural lawns and artificial turf lawns.
Preparation of the subsoil
A smooth surface on which the lawn is to be laid is essential. The terrace or balcony must be completely cleared and the floor must be smoothed. Unevenness must be eliminated, otherwise, the fake turf will tear or there will be dangerous tripping hazards. It doesn’t matter what the floor is made up of.
Preliminary work on the terrace or balcony is not compulsory. Only the measurement has to be done. The size of the balcony or terrace are determined with a meter in order to know how much lawn you need. The following items are required to lay artificial grass:
- sufficient amount of artificial grass
- tape measure
- sharp knife or carpet knife
- artificial grass glue
- fastening anchors if necessary
By laying artificial turf, you can form green islands of well-being even on hard surfaces. Especially in damp locations, it is a good substitute to laying natural grass. But artificial grass also creates a natural atmosphere on the terrace and balcony. It is especially useful for rented apartments because the panels can be eliminated easily and without leaving any remains.
Although artificial turf is easy to care for with very low maintenance, from time to time it also needs a little observation; so that you can enjoy the green surface for a long time, weeds, leaves and debris should be removed regularly. A stiff brush is enough for cleaning, but a traditional vacuum cleaner also works fine on the balcony or terrace. Stubborn dirt and stains can be removed with warm water, an all-purpose cleaner and a carpet brush. It is also advisable to brush the lawn with a stiff brush vigorously from time to time.
How do they do it?
With an artificial grass roof terrace or balcony, your neighbours will certainly be turning green. People often don’t notice that those picture-perfect lawns seen in magazines are, in fact, fake grass. It can be laid within 24 hours and will last all year round with minimal maintenance.
What about the rain?
Artificial grass is perfect for balconies and outdoor spaces; it is lightweight and has the ability to drain away heavy rainfall in a short amount of time. If you were worried about the additional weight going onto your roof, we would suggest not infilling your artificial grass because it adds most of the weight. The underlays are also lightweight and will not add much extra weight to your installation.
How do I look after it?
With artificial grass, there is only minimal maintenance involved. We only suggest that you keep any debris off the grass to prevent it from breaking down into it. If needed, you can wash it down with a mild detergent, or give it a brush down. Putting that aside , you don’t need to water it, worry about any discoloration or bald patches.
Which grass would be best for my terrace?
In order to help you get the perfect look and feel for your artificial grass balcony design, you can reach out to us for samples of each of our grasses. You can then get a feel for the texture, which is especially useful if you’re likely to have pets or children on the turf because the texture could affect your final choice. We would help you make a decision on which lawn would best suit your requirements and our friendly professionals will talk you through the process.
Can I put garden furniture on my fake grass?
Yes! Part of the enjoyment of fake grass is that it is a better version of natural grass; so you can treat it as you would a normal terrace or garden. Whether you fancy your outside dining table or your sun loungers on your fake turf, don’t hold back! All it will take is a quick brush when you move the furniture to get the grass back upright and looking its best. The only thing we do not recommend is to use a barbecue on your artificial grass surface.
It is fully possible to change your urban terrace, balcony or rooftop into a peaceful, green retreat without the issue or burden of maintenance. Great news for when you have friends over for a summer party. You will find the best artificial grass for your balcony right here from Gecko Artificial Grass Newcastle.
Factors To look out for when choosing artificial grass
-
Type of lawn
If you are looking for a specific type of grass (for example, artificial grass for soccer), the best is choosing a type of grass specifically made for that purpose. Even for landscaping purposes you should consider which purposes you want your artificial grass to serve.
-
The colour
Colour is one of the very important aspect when choosing fake grass. It should have realistic tones and saturation. When mixed with fibers of different shades, it can make it more similar to natural grass, considering the fact that natural grass does not tend to be totally green. A little controlled imperfection is always on track.
-
Resistance to foot traffic
Monofilament lawns tend to have better tread resistance, unlike fibrillated lawns. Always consider this if you want to install a lawn to practice sports, or if you receive many visitors in your garden.
It is essential for an artificial turf to have a very good resistance to foot traffic. When you step on a fibrillated lawn, the artificial grass tends to lose its freshness. In case of a monofilament lawn, it has a memory effect that helps it to recover or spring to its normal height.
-
Density
The density of artificial grass is generally expressed in Dtex. An artificial grass gets denser due to the more stitches the grass has, which makes it look more natural than a not so dense lawn. The density of the product influences the resilience and recovery of your lawn. It’s up to you to determine your preference.
-
Price
Lastly, price is also an essential factor. We recommend you to look for artificial turf at an affordable price that is perfect for your goals, so it allows you to install your lawn comfortably and with ease. And keep in mind that your artificial lawn will be cheaper than natural grass in about 2 to 4 years.
