Ground screws can be installed over many materials and surfaces, from artificial grass and AstroTurf to gravel and even concrete and paving! 

Our customers often choose to install a weed membrane to help control the vegetation that will grow under and alongside the base of garden rooms and offices. 

For all pliable materials, such as artificial grass or a weed membrane, a cross-cut in the material will be all that is needed. This cross-cut allows the ground screw to go through without a problem, and any brackets or attachment plates are left sitting accessible above the weed membrane, ready to support your subframe and building. 

While adding only a little time to an installation, you should let our team know if you have a pliable ground material you would like installed when you request your quote or are filling out your pre-installation form. 

PLEASE NOTE: We must be made aware of any underground barriers such as weed membranes, as they can cause problems during installation and may have to be removed. 

Whether you’re looking to install a garden room over AstroTurf or paving, get in touch with our team for some free advice, and we’ll be happy to help.
