Hi neighbours,


After the recent (now revoked) hose-pipe ban, I have been forced to evaluate a longer term plan for my small rear garden and have decided to go with synthetic lawn.


There are loads of suppliers online, but none seem to cater for SE London, and because it is such a small area (3m x 3.5m) it's not worthwhile for suppliers out of London to come in (so I am told).


Can you recommend a supplier (who can also install) locally?


Thanks

KWB

Hi I have recently laid a fake lawn and it was very very easy. The best fake grass out there is Easy Grass. they are based in Kew, you can go along to their yard, where they have plenty of off cuts and if none are the right size, you can just buy your size off the roll.


I got a local gardening company to level the ground (ie dig up the old lawn) take it away in bags and lay the sharp sand. This took a morning. They then unrolled the Easy Grass and nailed it in. Simple as that. It looks great, the dog likes it and it and its totally maintenance free, the best way to go for a london garden. Good luck. Ps Easy Grass will also come and lay it but will charge you several hundred pounds. the whole thing cost around ?300 - ?400 including the grass.

Can someone please recommend the name of a local gardener with experience laying synthetic lawn? *


Thanks

*(thanks Josie100 for confirming this is possible at a reasonable price - details of recommendation would be great).

Howdy forumers,


I am still looking... not much luck with emailing/ calling local suppliers.


I have changed this thread from "Seeking local supplier/installer of synthetic lawn" to 'landscaper/ gardener required' in the hope that the right person/ team will crop up.


I have also attached two photos of the area (3m x 3m = small/ round) to be replaced with synthetic lawn... to help expedite the process of finding someone suitable.


If you've had experience with this sort of garden make-over, I'd be keen to hear about it. So far thumbs up from Josie, anyone else?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
