Commercial artificial grass installation

Commercial artificial grass installation

An ambitious plan was hatched by Newcastle Council to speed up traffic flow at the Cowgate junction of the Central Motorway, a vital artery in and out of Newcastle City Centre.

One area of consideration was the amount of maintenance the grassed areas would need and the impact this would have as lane closures could not be avoided.

Enter Wonderlawn.

With a huge amount of experience and 12 years of installing to a high level behind us, we worked with Newcastle council to provide a product and installation specification that would work in these difficult surroundings.

At over 1300m² of high quality artificial grass, it was to become one of the largest installations of it’s kind in Europe. Because of the amount of human traffic, the product needed to be robust for the footfall, but also have a realistic look and feel. The works were completed in 2015 and, despite being a little ambivalent to begin with, the local community loved the finished result.

Artificial grass, also known as Astro Turf, has always come under scrutiny for its environmental impact but in this case, the savings on road closures and maintenance have proved a positive outcome.

Commercial artificial grass applications for pets

EuroTunnel Le Shuttle contacted Wonderlawn to rejuvenate the Pets Corner area of the Folkestone Terminal.

It was wet, muddy, patchy and not suitable for canine travellers to use as a rest stop.

On average the site can be used by 400-1000 dogs per day. With an estimated 350,000 visits per year.

Wonderlawn installed Superior artificial grass as it is pet friendly and long lasting. As you can see, the dogs love it! In 2016 the Pets Corner site won first place in the PetsPyjamas Dog Friendly Travel Awards.

With this new artificial grass, there will be no more muddy paws during the winter months, and a safe clean area for pets to exercise in during the summer!

Commercial Artificial Grass for Architects

Architects often contact us to enquire about using artificial grass in their new building plans. If you’re looking for specification, fire ratings, critical fall height, we can provide those.

Artificial grass is substantially different from any other textile used in architecture and provides benefits such as lower maintenance, cheaper in longer term projects, longevity of installation and can help with drainage issues.
