Artificial Grass for homes in Ordsall
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 Ordsall
Ordsall sits on the southern side of Retford and combines an older village core around the church with extensive twentieth-century suburban development that has joined it to the town. The suburban housing is the bulk of it — inter-war and post-war semis and detached properties on regular plots, with frontages that were laid out as front gardens and rear gardens of a workable length. Those frontages convert well into proper driveways once the original narrow strip is lifted and a full-width base is built. The ground here is level, as it is across most of Retford, which means falls and drainage have to be set out deliberately: permeable resin surfacing and properly planned soakaways or channels do real work on flat sites like these.
