Gardens and pools in the Lecrín Valley

Direct answer. In the Lecrín Valley, artificial grass often needs to coexist with trees, pools and mineral surfaces. Tree wells, slopes and drains should remain functional so the result feels integrated.

What to assess

The decision should begin with verifiable site conditions. A sample or photograph alone cannot show how the complete system will perform on the available base.

• Base condition and stability
• Falls and water outlets
• Exposure to sun, frost and wind
• Use, access and maintenance

Project checklist

1. Base condition and stability: record the condition before covering it.
2. Falls and water outlets: check the complete route taken by water.
3. Exposure to sun, frost and wind: compare samples by criteria, not appearance alone.
4. Use, access and maintenance: define cleaning, edges and maintenance.

Applied to Granada: Valle de Lecrín

Granada combines coast, high mountains, fertile plains, plateau and dense urban areas. A solution for a city rooftop may therefore be unsuitable for rural accommodation, a coastal pool or a mountain patio.

In the Lecrín Valley, artificial grass often needs to coexist with trees, pools and mineral surfaces. Tree wells, slopes and drains should remain functional so the result feels integrated.

Mistakes to avoid

• Choosing only by pile height or photograph
• Covering an existing damp or level problem
• Blocking drains, tree wells or movement joints
• Accepting a quote without understanding the preparation

Related questions

Can a decision be made from photographs alone?

Photos help prepare the assessment but may not reveal falls, stability, drainage or junctions.

Is the system the same for every base?

No. Soil, concrete, tiles and gravel need different checks and installation methods.

Can I compare samples first?

Yes. Samples should be compared in relation to the project’s real light and use.
