Vuba GrassMac Technical Artificial Grass

Overview

GrassMac is an innovative, eco-friendly system designed to provide a base for artificial grass installations. It consists of three integrated layers: Vuba's Structural Reinforcement Mesh (SRM), GrassMac Resin, and a blend of recycled rubber and aggregate.

Specifically engineered to overcome common problems like subsidence and poor maintenance associated with traditional bases such as sand or grano dust, GrassMac offers a durable, low-maintenance alternative. Fully SUDS-compliant, it supports sustainable drainage and is ideal for both residential and commercial landscaping applications.

Layer System

1

Artificial Grass

The top layer consisting of your chosen artificial grass product.

2

GrassMac 20mm

This is the binder course layer, applied directly to the SRM base layer to enhance overall strength and durability.

3

SRM Base-Layer

The SRM spreads the load and allows fast overlayment, as well as providing a structural skeleton to the system.

4

Capping Layer

This is a 25mm layer of 5-10mm angular stone, well compacted on to the existing sub-base.

5

No Fines Stone / Clean Stone / MOT Type 3

To be installed at 125mm as standard and up to 225mm if there are concerns about permeability of the sub soil. Stone to be from 20mm up to 50mm in size.

6

Geotextile Membrane

A Geotextile Membrane ought to be installed from the farthest edge of the perimeter throughout the project. Ensure to correctly specify the grade of material.

7

Sub-Soil

It is important to determine the type of sub soil, as this will influence the specification of the sub-base and/or ground drainage requirements.
