Artificial grass

Mantis Toboggan · 07-09-2018 9:43am #1

Thinking of putting down artificial grass in the back garden as the soil isn't great and I can see it being waterlogged for 5 months of the year and a mud field for the other 7. It's a small garden around around 50 Square metres.

Has anyone used artificial grass or has any recommendation?

I had my back garden done in March this year, after the snow cleared.
I had been living with a muddy, compacted, very patchy and miserable lawn for 3 years thanks to my 3 dogs using it as a racetrack. The winter was a nightmare as rain just pooled and never drained, rendering it a mud bath.

I haven't regretted it for one minute. 3 months ago, I also got the front lawn done and it looks amazing. The neighbours were joking that I was the only one in the neighbourhood that had green grass this summer!

The total area done between front and back was 71 sq metres. Sanctuary Synthetics did the job from start to finish and I can't recommend them highly enough. No connection, just a happy customer.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the information, glad you're happy. Mind me asking how much it cost?

Donal, for some strange reason, Boards don't recognise your username when I try to send you a pm.....could be my MacBook either. Send me a PM if you like and I'll respond to that

I have lots but haven't a clue how to post them on here. PM an email address to me if you like and I'll gladly send you some.

Hi

I would take a pm too please

lawred2 · 19-09-2018 9:03pm

Have had artificial down out the back for three years now.

Still looks as good as the day we put it down. Worth every penny and more.

Hi-any chance of details and photos of the work please? Currently trying to look at suppliers and Sanctuary Synthetics is one we are looking at.

many thanks!

Would also appreciate a pm on cost & some photos.

They should be paying you a commission at this point!

Ultimate Seduction · 08-04-2019 2:42pm

Can you post the cost of it on the thread, why is it a secret?

mirrorwall14 · 08-04-2019 2:44pm

I'd love to get an idea on cost for this too!

Seems it's top secret. Weird

In fairness I wouldn't expect anyone to post their private business on here.

The highest quality grass costs circa 33euro per sq. Mtr, but every installation cost is going to be different depending on what's required.

Just get some quotes, there are plenty of landscapers who install artificial grass too so you don't have to go directly to a supplier.

Thanks! That's exactly why I won't post prices/my private business on here. Every job is different so what I would post would not be directly relevant to anyone.
However, I'm more than happy to email pics and info of my particular job on to anyone that would like to PM me.

I’m actually looking at sanctuary synthetics at the moment did they do any other work at the time? I need a small patio laid as part of the job and it would be handy to use one crowd.

And that is my prerogative to do so.

It's easy to get a quote for any job from these companies. Figure out what area you require and contact them.

Every job is different, some will just want the artificial grass, others will want it installed and others will want other ground works included which makes the price largely irrelevant.

Yes, they did raised beds for me surrounded by stone walls around the perimeter of the back garden. I would imagine they would do a patio for you but you'd have to ask them.

raxy · 08-04-2019 11:07pm

I would recommend getting a detailed written quote first outlining exactly what work they are going to do & watch to make sure they do it.
I had to threaten legal action after the con job they did on my garden
