Neat, manicured finish.
25 mm gives a tidy, freshly-cut look that holds its shape. A practical all-rounder for balconies, walkways, pet runs and any space that should always look maintained.
Our most premium grass, the highest DTEX and density for a plush, luxurious finish. Supplied and installed by ILAN for landscaping and decorative use, this is a landscape grass, not a sports surface.
/ Where it works
Ultra Soft at 25 mm is specified most often for the following landscape and decorative applications.
/ Specification
Yarn shape, roll dimensions, total weight and warranty terms are set per order, ask us for the current technical data sheet.
/ The 25 mm character
At 25 mm the pile stands closest to vertical, so it recovers fastest and shows footfall least. This is the Ultra Soft height specified where a luxury hand-feel is wanted but the surface has to take daily traffic.
Firm and springy underfoot rather than sinking. Barefoot-comfortable, but you feel the ground through it.
Highest traffic tolerance in the range, the short blade has the least leverage to fold over.
Walkways, balconies, roof decks, showroom floors, pet runs and any lawn that gets crossed every day.
If the space is purely for looks and rarely walked on, a deeper height will photograph richer.
/ How it is built
Ultra Soft is the heaviest yarn ILAN supplies for landscape work. Four things account for the difference.
DTEX measures the mass of the yarn, how much material is in each filament. At 7300 the Ultra Soft filament is substantially heavier than commodity landscape grass, which is what gives the pile its body and its resistance to splitting under sun and traffic.
The yarn is UV stabilised so colour holds under direct Indian sun rather than fading toward grey or blue. This is the single biggest factor in how a landscape lawn looks in year three versus year one.
Four bonded layers rather than the usual two: the primary cloth the tufts are stitched through, the reinforcing layers that lock those stitches, and the coating that binds the whole assembly. More layers means tuft-bind holds when the surface is brushed, walked and cleaned.
The backing is perforated so rain and washdown water pass straight through to the sub-base instead of pooling. On a correctly prepared base the surface is usable again shortly after heavy rain.
Yarn shape, roll dimensions, total weight and written warranty are confirmed per order, ask for the current technical data sheet.
/ Across the range
Every Ultra Soft height uses the same 7300 DTEX yarn. Pile depth and density are what change, and density rises with height so the taller piles stay upright.
| Height | DTEX | Density | Character |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 mm | 7300 | 14,900 | The hard-wearing one |
| 35 mm | 7300 | 14,900 | The all-rounder |
| 40 mm | 7300 | 14,900 | The full residential |
| 45 mm | 7300 | 14,900 | The deep plush |
| 50 mm | 7300 | 18,900 | Resort grade |
| 60 mm | 7300 | 20,900 | Maximum depth |
ILAN supplies and installs. This is the sequence a 25 mm Ultra Soft lawn follows on site.
Site measure
We measure the area, check falls and drainage, and confirm the existing sub-base. Roll direction is planned at this stage, all pile on a job runs the same way, or the joints will read as colour changes.
Base check
We build the base where the site needs one: excavation, compacted stone base, drainage and edging, checked for level and falls. Over existing concrete, tile or other hard surfaces we check the surface and falls instead.
Edge restraint
Perimeter edging is fixed so the grass has something to be secured and trimmed against, timber, aluminium or the existing hard edge, depending on the detail.
Laying and acclimatising
Rolls are set out and left to relax so the backing loses its roll memory before it is cut and joined.
Jointing
Seams are joined on jointing tape with adhesive, pile direction matched across the joint. Done properly, a joint should be invisible from standing height.
Trimming and fixing
Edges are cut to the perimeter and fixed down. Cut lines follow the edging so the finish reads deliberate.
Infill and brushing
Ballast is spread where the specification calls for it, then the pile is power-brushed upright. Brushing is what makes a new lawn look finished rather than flat.
Usually installs with little or no infill on hard sub-bases; silica sand ballast is used where the roll needs weighting.
/ Scope of supply
Supply-only is available if you have your own installer. A full installed quotation normally includes:
Landscape grass replaces mowing, watering and seasonal patching. What little it needs takes minutes.
/ Same collection
Every height in the Ultra Soft range shares the same 7300 DTEX yarn, only the pile depth and density change.
