Artificial Grass for homes in Markham Moor
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 Markham Moor
Markham Moor sits on the A1 between Retford and Tuxford, a small settlement in open Nottinghamshire countryside surrounded by farmland and scattered villages. Properties here tend toward the rural end of the range — older brick and pantile houses, converted farm buildings and detached properties on larger, more open plots than you find in the towns. That brings its own considerations: longer driveway approaches where the surface has to carry heavier vehicles as well as cars, exposed boundaries where planting and walling do genuine work in sheltering a garden, and rear gardens with the space for a properly designed layout rather than a single paved area. Open farmland ground conditions vary, so base build-ups are assessed on site.
