As a fitter, I tend to lean away from kiln dry sand.. birds can excrete on top of the grass with sand in and cause seed germination. For me, sharp sand days are over now.. too much movement over time. 20mm to dust hard-core and 6mm granno dust 👍

I used to landscape and artificial turf was becoming popular and its nice to see the new tools you can buy or hire to make life easier when laying! Later, I had it laid in our own garden and never regretted it; looked perfect and I’m sure was a major selling factor when we sold our house. I’m designing our new garden, gets sun, but we have an area where it only gets late sun, so we are going to lay artificial turf to replace the grass, as the grass is sparse there. I’ve treated it, but doesn’t look much. Anyway, thanks very much for all the hints and tips, and generally sharing your skills! All the best.

Top quality work as always. I’ve been building my own extension over the last 12 months and a lot of the jobs you are doing I am doing similar a few months after you. You have given me lots of inspiration and tips keep the good work going. Thanks for sharing your work.

Wow that is one of the best lawns I have ever seen laid. Do you carry out actual installations of lawns please. I have a very small lawn that needs doing. It is about 10 square meters. I am too old to do it any more Thanks

I recommend a timber border bedded into the sand and aggregate. Then you can use screws to fix the edge down. It will ruck up 100% if you don't

[josephgarzone]

How you cover the steps of installing to the T you made it look like a Diy so that and handy man can lay turf. I would to be able to put this on my web site if that's thanks ok.

[alanedwards]

Great to watch. What depth of sharp sand should be put down?

[toddj]

Looks really nice. Don't you guys use carpet stretchers to stretch and flatten out grass so there aren't any loose areas? Most videos of guys doing fake turf I've seen stretch the lawn out and nail down with spikes. Thanks for the instructive video!

[RaikenXion]

Looks good i'm only looking to buy one roll of astroturf to use as a border around a small pond i'm building in the back garden. They have some turf that have all these brown bits and a nice pale green color which makes it look like natural grass at the range by me so i'll get that.

I was wondering did you ever find out why the client didn't want it all pinned down?

[lewisbrown]

Great job!!!

If you were doing this on soil instead of mot would the build up be sharp sand, then the dust, then the membrane, then the grass???

[AdamSmith-xwez]

Looks great! Can I ask where the customer bought the wood surround and the grass? Thanks 🙏

[bikinggal]

[SteveAndAlexBuild]

Another lovely job boys . Now I understand why this stuff is so pricey . There’s a lot of work goes into it that’s never seen 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[grahamchaytor]

Hi there, looks fantastic. Please can you shed light on which type of lazy lawn it is, i.e. wonder yarn / lazy sovereign etc ? Cheers in advance
