Artificial Grass for homes in Nottingham
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 Nottingham
Nottingham covers an enormous range of property types and the outdoor work varies just as widely across it. The inner suburbs are dense Victorian and Edwardian terracing with small frontages where off-road parking is at a premium and a well-designed dropped-kerb driveway makes a real practical difference. The established suburban belt is largely inter-war semis and detached housing with the long, narrow rear gardens typical of that period, which suit being broken into zones — a patio close to the house, lawn or artificial grass beyond, and a path linking through. Newer estate housing around the city edge tends to have compact, level rear gardens where artificial grass and porcelain paving are the most requested combination. The city's sandstone geology is well known, and it does affect excavation, so ground is assessed per property.
