Artificial Grass
|
|
Looking to purchase some artificial grass for my garden and get it installed. Any recommendations of who to use? Was thinking about lazylawn but haven't come across anyone that has used them. Cheers

The bloke that runs Easigrass Kent is a hammer.

Got it last year from a company called Herringbone driveways from Romford. They had a crew of around 10 blokes that done everything in a day, inc digging out and adding all the sand. They put in a great shift and mostly hammers as well.
Some of the best money I've ever spent, I look out at all the other saps spending hours every week getting their lawns looking like bowling greens and then it looks like shit and can't be used for about 6 months a year as soon as we get a bit of rain. My kids have been playing football and on their segways all through the winter.

It looks shit and it will probably fade after a few years.

Stave P, it depends on the area. I needed about 18ft by 70ft and think it was about £3k all in or something like that, can't really remember as I was getting loads of work done in the house so was just chucking money around.
JLAP. This is not the stuff that you get on a greengrocers stall. Looks and feels pretty real and is guaranteed for 15 years. You can even bleach the stuff now if your dog shits on it and it doesn't fade.

I used the same company as Stickle. Very highly recommended.

Having a hound I should get some to stop all the burn stains from where he cocks his leg on my lawn... but I won't as artificial grass is about as bent as a game of limp wristed tennis...

An occasional match on a 3-G pitch is great for cleaning your boots after playing proper football on proper grass.

I only require approximately 30m2. So many different options I'd like to go for one based on recommendation.

I done this, front and back garden back in 2005, when my sons football team were getting there 7 a side pitch laid, i had a word with the guys laying it, about a week later, a van full of blokes came, cost me about 2k at the time, best money ive ever spent imho.
A few of my neighbours scoffed at me, looks like its just be laid 11 years later, i brush of the leaves in autumn, sweep off the snow in the winter, and sit holding a beer sniggering at my neighbours sweating early spring trying to gets theirs as nice as mine..
Which of course they can't.
My kids have had full on all day football matches on the back garden all year round.

icwhs... If I was one of your neighbours I'd prefer to have a garden full of mud, cat shit and overgrown weeds than a load of plastic... I bet they all think you support Luton Town... or QPR

Ok in the right circumstances but this stuff isn't great for nature.

I installed Lazyawn on and off for 5 years.. I could probably answer anything you need to.
I would recommend it if you can afford it and it is very good if you look after it, ie, buy yourself a blower and brush it down ect.
