[newhorizons]

Has anyone had experience of having an artificial lawn laid? Do you have any recommendations as to who best to use to supply and install one? Many thanks.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Aswell as the daily sweeping of debris from the grass, leaves, soil etc if a stray cat does its toilet you also need to clean that out too, not an easy task. I recently done some gardening for a customer of mine and it was very difficult to keep clean on a daily basis. It needs regular sweeping and hosing down. It does look amazing though!

We had this done about 2yrs ago

aprrox ?28 p sq metre

Company came in removed old lawn then they flatten ground lay sand then a top membrane that allows water to drain but stops weeds/grass growing through

then they laid grass on top, we went for the most expensive but our garden is small probably 5mts by 3mts

we had concrete beds at the side so they could glue grass to this and have a strong hold.

Works well and we are very happy. you can leave everything on it and does not kill the grass underneath.

Quick brush and looks good.

Would not do on large gardens as it only comes in certain sizes so you would have joins and these can be pulled up by animals
