Product Information

The key to long-lasting artificial grass is just as much in the installation as it is in the choice of grass itself. Overall, this trimmer turned out to be a handy and efficient tool for their turf installation project, making the work smoother and quicker. The Length Knife ensures a straight and precise cut in the grass with the right amount of clearance between the two grass sections. If the exposed blade is too short, you’ll end up “sawing” through it trying to force the blade through the backing, and your cuts will look jagged and messy.

Should this happen, the first thing to do is wipe off as much excess as possible with a cloth or off-cut of artificial grass. If you don’t have access to a power brush (see below) then a stiff broom can be used to invigorate the fibres and ensure that the sand dressing is brushed to the bottom of the pile. Artificial grass has become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to the fact that it is long-lasting and requires very little maintenance, meaning you can have a picture-perfect lawn all year . Tools for Cutting Turf: Our collection of tools for cutting turf includes a variety of options to suit different cutting needs.
