Wanted - Excellent local landscape gardener to fit artifical grass

Hi


I want to do a small project in my garden in the centre of East Dulwich.


There is an area at the rear of our small yard that is mainly pebbled measuring approx 6 metres x 2 metres. I would like to replace this with artificial grass. I would also like the remaining paving slabs pressure washed if possible.


I have already had 2 quotes - 1 direct from Easigrass which was extortionate and another from an independent chap who was cheap but seemed very unprofessional.


I would like an experienced local person who will do a good job for a good price. I will provide the artificial grass and weed membrane, but will need the contractor to provid everything else necessary to complete the job.


Please do get in touch if you can help.


Thanks


Mark

Hi Mark

We have done quite a few artificial lawns this year. A few notes. They are not for families with young children & no shade, they get very hot ! They are pretty un ecological & toxic , but fine if you have no choice. They are more expensive than natural lawns, mainly because they have to be dug out to 3? deep ,framed & filled out with ballast/ type one & topped with soft sand for a perfect finish. Happy to give you a free quote. Let me know which turf you use as all our work is guaranteed.

    • Danny re-tiled and generally cleaned up the roof tiles on our front bay in SE22 a few weeks ago. He was fairly priced, and although the scope of the work changed slightly (something we couldn't have foreseen before removing the existing tiles), the price remained the same for the job. He and a colleague worked hard for three days (one more than initially planned) through pretty grim weather. With anything unexpected, he came to me with solutions rather than problems. They were polite, courteous, and left the site as tidy as they could after cutting roof tiles in the driving rain!
    • Perhaps first leak was caused by a combination of faulty rendering and a hole in the felt so re-rendering was able to fix it. This course of action wouldn't solve your current problem, it does sound like a separate issue. His guarantee would only cover the rerendering not any hole in the felt. Sorry this isn't what you want to hear.
    • I can't speak about other places but as someone who uses Mind in Forest Hill, these small studios are having a boom due to increased working from home.  Now I can work two days a week at home, I can use them at lunch time or early evening, it is a short walk from home so I can get changed and shower at home (so the studio does not need a big changing room or showers like a traditional gym),  whereas before Covid it would have a  been weekend only thing for me. I asume there are many like me so they can make a small space finacially viable. I am biased but Mind is great, it is a very inclusive woman friendly space, classes are very reasonable for instructor led classes, (there are different packages but you can get 10 for £100 if you oay in advance) and the fact there are very few bells and whistles keeps it affordable.   I prefer smaller studios as you don't want big classes for pilates and yoga as you need instructors to be able to see everyone and assess and adjust form for safety.
