Artificial Grass for homes in Costhorpe
Artificial grass only looks convincing if the ground underneath is right, and that is where most of the work actually is. We lift the old lawn, excavate, and build a compacted, free-draining base so water goes away rather than sitting under the surface, then lay a weed membrane, roll the grass out and let it settle before cutting it in. Joints are glued on tape and the pile direction matched across them so the seam disappears rather than showing as a line down the lawn, and the perimeter is fixed and trimmed tight to the paving, walls and borders. There is a real difference between grass specifications in pile height, density and colour tone, so we will get samples in front of you first. Once it is down, it stays the same shape all year — no mowing, no bare muddy patches through the winter, and it takes being walked on constantly by kids and dogs.
Working in Costhorpe
Costhorpe sits immediately north of Worksop, effectively continuous with Carlton in Lindrick, and it grew around the colliery and the works serving it. The housing is largely brick terracing and semis from that period on regular plots, with later development added around it, and the plots follow the pattern common to purpose-built pit housing — modest frontages designed as front gardens, and longer rear gardens than the house frontage suggests. Converting those front gardens into off-road parking is the most frequent job here, and on the narrower frontages the setting out is what makes it work: the width, the threshold position and the fall to the road have to be right first time because there is no spare space to correct a poor layout later.
