Now this is something I highly recommend. I had mine installed three and a half years ago with a pebble surround for various pots and it still looks as good as new. With a paved patio both are easy to maintain. Well done!
Hiya mate top job looking to do something similar soon. How do you tackle drainpipes against the wall. Do you build a structure around the pipe etc? Any advice would be appreciated
Great work ! Can I ask you something. What have you used as a base layer ? was it crushed gravel stones ? and how much have you used for this space ? Got a similar size garden just trying to figure out how much do I really need ! THANKS !
hi yes i used sleepers 200mm x 100mm 2.4 length pressure treated cut them in half to 100 x 100mm squares then drilled holes to set in LAP led lights available from screwfix hope that helps
Hi buddy. Looking to complete something this myself as soon as. My garden is the same L - shape as this one and almost identical in size. Would you be able to advise on how much the cost of this was? Cheers!
hi i got pressure treated sleepers cut them in half. used a string line to get it bang on. held in place with steaks and timber locks steaked at posts to
Nice video! How much aggregate and grano dust did you have to use on this size of a garden? I want to give my own home a nice renovation but never worked with artificial grass before 😂
Hi there usually i lay the type 1 subbase at 100mm then grano dust at 20 to 30mm depending on clients specifics if they have pets or not any other questions fire away
hey so on this build it has underlay first then type 1 second at 100mm then grono dust third at 20 to 30mm screeded off then grass on top if clients have no pets then it will be underlay then 100mm of type 1 then 20 to 30mm of screeded sharp sand edges are 200mm by 100mm sleepers cut in half and treated batten round the edge to pin the grass to when sun is on the grass over time it slightly shrinks if its not pinned on the edges it shrinks and you get a gap looks awful and moves about. stay clear of glues or mastic big companies use this and it never lasts some gardens ive done 7 years ago look like it was layed yesterday been laying grass for over 10 years never returned to a garden to restick or level ever happy clients all round
What the heck is going on in UK? All those videos of people razing their garden, building all over with pavement, decks, green plastic carpets, adding various indoor features and then colored lights at night, to make the non-garden look beautiful that way.
I don’t know in Uk but in Ireland is useless to have a garden with grass, all muddy as soon as you walk a couple of times, mossy, always wet… impossible to use, at least these gardens can be enjoyed
@@AsensioPedro Continental Europe here, a bit less rain than in UK/Ireland, but we also get mud if the soil isn't permeable (too much clay) and moss in shade, and with not enough nutrients. I tturned to leaving grass clippings on the lawn, to preserve nutrients. If lawn really doesn't work, I would get rid of it, plant everything and create a patio of reasonable size. Lawn isn't mandatory.

Hi, Should the weed barrier be above the subbase or below it?
Looks great! I added deco rocks along the sides
yes nice makes it look crisp and weed free
Just a question what are you fastening the edges of the grass with just nails ? Thanks

hi sorry for the delay yes its granno dust 5mm looks like kitty litter should be available at your local supplier
Fantastic work! Love it, how did you do the lights around the edge that’s a really good touch looking to do something like that myself! Any advice?
hi yes i used sleepers 200mm x 100mm 2.4 length pressure treated cut them in half to 100 x 100mm squares then drilled holes to set in LAP led lights available from screwfix hope that helps
I noticed you didn’t add any kiln dried sand at the end before power brooming, any reason for this?
yes they had pets so the sand would absorbed the wee and hold it creating bad smells. some clients have it some don't circumstances adjusted to suit
@@howilandscape thank you, makes sense
Hi buddy. Looking to complete something this myself as soon as. My garden is the same L - shape as this one and almost identical in size. Would you be able to advise on how much the cost of this was? Cheers!
hi cost for this was roughly 6k i think
Hi mate, what timber frames did you use for the border? And how did you keep them up and leveled. Great work
hi i got pressure treated sleepers cut them in half. used a string line to get it bang on. held in place with steaks and timber locks steaked at posts to
Omg that's amazing
thank you for the support much appreciated
Did you use type 1 and grano dust?
yes and yes
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!

Do you have a link for the lights you used?
hi yes go to screwfix they are 30mm lap LED light 20 in a set they are usally listed as decking lights they have many sizes and colours
Hey the top
Layer sharp sand how deep did you do it or recommend doing , & what did you use to fix it around the edges
hey so on this build it has underlay first then type 1 second at 100mm then grono dust third at 20 to 30mm screeded off then grass on top
if clients have no pets then it will be underlay then 100mm of type 1 then 20 to 30mm of screeded sharp sand
edges are 200mm by 100mm sleepers cut in half and treated batten round the edge to pin the grass to
when sun is on the grass over time it slightly shrinks if its not pinned on the edges it shrinks and you get a gap looks awful and moves about.
stay clear of glues or mastic big companies use this and it never lasts
some gardens ive done 7 years ago look like it was layed yesterday been laying grass for over 10 years never returned to a garden to restick or level ever happy clients all round
