Newcastle Cowgate Roundabout commercial artificial grass installation by Wonderlawn

Newcastle Council wanted to speed up traffic flow at the Cowgate junction of the Central Motorway, a vital artery in and out of Newcastle City Centre.

One area of consideration was the amount of maintenance the grassed areas would need and the impact this would have as lane closures could not be avoided.

Enter Wonderlawn.

With a huge amount of experience and 12 years of installing to a high level behind us, we worked with Newcastle council to provide a product and installation specification that would work in these difficult surroundings.

At over 1300m² of high-quality artificial grass, it was to become one of the largest installations of it’s kind in Europe. Because of the amount of human traffic, the product needed to be robust for the footfall, but also have a realistic look and feel. The works were completed in 2015 and, despite being a little ambivalent to begin with, the local community loved the finished result.

Fake grass, also known as Astro Turf, has always come under scrutiny for it’s environmental impact but in this case, the savings on road closures and maintenance have proved a positive outcome.
