Seeking local gardener/landscaper to lay synthetic lawn - recommendations?

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

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.

okay - so I am finally (one year later) ready to action this plan...


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?

    • Hi all, Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I am looking for someone in the local area who can make a cake/ cupcakes for my event? Thank you in advance! 
    • I’ve just seen this notice for extending DYL’s but I’m confused as to how long the extension will be. Is it going to be from LL to no.2 Bawdale Road? Or 3M from no 2 Bawdale Road? i) add new lengths or extend existing lengths of ‘DYLs’ (i) in ASTBURY ROAD west side opposite Nos. 3 and 5 Astbury Road (5m), (ii) in BAWDALE ROAD on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road),
    • If they're not sure they should at least be able to provide a range: reasonably best and worst case scenarios.  It's embarrassing.
    • I would report this to the police - the footage is excellent and he's pretty distinguishable. This won't be his first time doing this and it will help police link him to other crimes by cross-matching your CCTV to other surveillance. Definitely contact them.
