Artificial Grass for homes in Rhodesia
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 Rhodesia
Rhodesia is a small settlement immediately west of Worksop, on the Chesterfield Canal and the road out toward Shireoaks. It is a compact place with a core of older brick housing built around the works and canal, plus later infill, and the plots are generally modest and regular. Small does not mean simple: on a compact frontage, the layout matters more rather than less, because there is no spare room to absorb a mistake in the setting out. Getting the driveway width, the position of the threshold and the fall toward the road right is what makes the difference between a drive that works day to day and one that is awkward to use. Being on the canal, ground conditions closer to the water are checked properly before base depths are settled.
