Artificial Grass for homes in Mapperley
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 Mapperley
Mapperley sits on high ground on Nottingham's north-eastern side, and the elevation is the defining feature of working there. Properties along and off the ridge frequently have gardens that fall away steeply behind the house, which turns a straightforward-sounding patio into a terracing and retaining job if it is going to be done properly — level platforms cut and held, steps linking them, and drainage designed so water is taken away rather than allowed to build behind a wall. The area has a good stock of solid inter-war semis and detached houses with bay frontages, alongside Victorian villas on the older streets and later infill development. Bay-fronted properties reward a driveway design that works with the frontage rather than simply paving the whole thing flat to the boundary.
