Applications · Landscaping

Artificial grass that stays part of the landscape design.

Public squares, campuses, retail and residential schemes.

Specify a surface for the way the space will be used, with the documents to back it.

What matters

A landscape surface is a construction.

The surface is the part people see. The decisions underneath decide how it performs.

Use intensity

Footfall, events and the maintenance regime decide the product and the build-up.

Drainage and base

Falls, sub-base and drainage are designed per site, together with the surface.

Project documentation

Product data, test results and installation guidance belong in the project file from the start.

Before you specify

What to put in the project file.

A checklist for landscape architects, specifiers, consultants and council procurement teams.

Product dataPile height, weights and the material route of the product specified.
Water permeabilityThe result for the product, to support the drainage design.
Reaction to fireWhere the scheme requires it: the reaction-to-fire test or classification report for the configuration tested.
Material testingSGS results for substances of very high concern, PAHs, leaching and ageing.
Environmental dataEPDs where published, and the scope and production site they cover.

Every result belongs to a product and build-up. Ask for the reports that match the scheme.

FAQ

Questions about landscaping

Working on a specification? Talk to us

Can artificial grass be used in public spaces?

Yes, in squares, campuses and commercial schemes. Check the requirements for drainage, fire and accessibility early, and specify the full build-up, not only the surface.

A documented test of ONE-DNA™ turf to EN 12616 recorded a water permeability of at least 650 l/min/m². Current ONE-DNA™ product lines share the same water-permeable construction. The measured value applies to the tested turf. How quickly a finished installation drains also depends on the base, the drainage design and local conditions.

Which product suits a high-footfall area?

That depends on footfall, the maintenance regime and the look the design needs. Share the expected use with us or a supplier before you choose.

Is there an EPD for ONE-DNA™ landscape products?

Earlier EPDs, published through MRPI, cover five 100% PE products from an earlier production site, modules A1 to A3. EPDs for current production are not yet published. Ask us which document applies to the product you specify.

How is ONE-DNA™ different from conventional artificial grass?

Each product is developed for what its application has to do. Fibre and backing are joined by heat, without a conventional latex or polyurethane coating, in one material route per product. Life cycle assessment is part of development, and every product is designed for recycling. How it works →
