Australia’s First Synthetic Grass Made from Sugar Cane !

Has all the bells and whistles! Coolgrass 40mm looks lush and feels soft all year round.  Infused with HeatBlock technology, keeps the surface temperatures significantly lower than traditional artificial turf. This development is perfect for pet areas, homes, schools, landscaping areas and more.

Coolgrass 40mm is made from 60% renewable resources and is the latest innovation by Australian manufacturer, APT.  Coolgrass 40mm has all the benefits including being durable, heat/UV resistant, water permeable and more environmentally friendly.

Utilising Green Technology (GT) originally developed for the Olympic Hockey turfs, APT are now transforming the synthetic landscaping industry with this sustainable solution that gives consumers an opportunity to have all year-round green grass whilst also reducing their carbon footprint.

Sugar cane is a natural bio-based plant which absorbs carbon dioxide in the air rather than emitting it, like other oil-based materials do. Thereby, this sustainable and recyclable product reduces the greenhouse effect and global warming.

Pet friendly! 15 year Warranty! What……………

Pet friendly and backed with an incredible 15-year Australian-made warranty, this exciting landscaping innovation offers a sustainable solution that gives you green grass, in more ways than
one!

HOW TO CALCULATE:

GRASS QUANTITY

1. Australian Industry Standard Roll Widths are 3.71 mts wide and sold by the lineal metre.
2. If the area you intend to cover is wider than 3.71 mts, then you will need to join the grass.
3. Remember, two or more rolls laid side by side MUST be laid in the same pile direction – and this will determine how much grass you need. This will generally be more than the m2 of the area as there will be wastage. Draw a diagram of the area to be covered (preferable to scale) and the quantity of grass can be easily calculated
4. Assume you are covering an area of 7mts wide x 8mts long = 56m2
5. Divide the total width of the area by 3.71mts to give you the number of runs. Example: 7mts ÷ 3.7 = 1.9 runs (round up to 2 runs of 3.7mts).
6. Take the length of your area and multiply the number of runs.  Eg: 8mts x 2 runs = 16 lin.mts. (x 3.7m = 58.56m2)

INFILL QUANTITY

1. Check manufacturer guidelines.  EG; for Pro Lawn 25mm manufacturer recommends 5-7 kgs/psm of Silica Sand (kilm dried) per m2,
2. Example: 56m2 x 7 = 392 kg of sand/25kg bags of sand = 16 bags.

CRUSHED ROCK BASE 

1. Take the total m2 of the area to be prepared and multiply by depth of base material (in this instance 100mm = .1)
2. Ensure the root system has been entirely removed.
3. Example: 56m2 x .1 = approximately 5.5 cubic mts. of base material.
4. 80% of the total amount of base should be approximately 4.5 cubic mts of 20mm grade 3 rock. 
5. Spread the base evenly,
6. Set your levels for optimum flow to a drainage point or garden bed
7. Screed your base and lightly compact.
8. Then 10-20% of the base should 5mm FCR (fine crushed rock), 20% of 5.5 cubic mtrs is  approximately 1.1 cubic spread,
9. Level off and screed your base.  Heavily compact, wet down.
10. The end result should look like freshly poured concrete.  No protruding stones!!
