Artificial Grass Removal
To answer some question on removal of artificial grass which has been
fixed to concrete. The usual method on large areas is to use an automated floor surface removal tool that is available from some tool hire shops but can be difficult to find or be very expensive, the method we use on small areas is to sharpen the edge of a spade and scrape this along the floor removing the grass. If the artificial grass is thin this should lift easily and you will find the black latex backing will stay on the floor but the grass will lift, this residue can be removed by going over the area a few times with the spade. Note: if the grass is sand filled this may require more effort and when you have lifted some cut it off from the back of the grass. More information can be found on our web site http://www.evergreensuk.com |

Of course, being the benevolent employer that I am, I also provide an artificial lunch and pay them with artificial cash. |

It has nothing to do with real or not. |
