Artificial Grass

Yeah true no need to worry, Rooter can just respond individually to all the people interested in knowing the price via PM. If only there was a more efficient way....

I don't really know why you're being difficult about it. It's up to all of us what we do and don't want to share.

How am I being difficult?

Some one asked how much it cost
Rooter said to PM him
I asked why the details needed to be kept private
Rooter said he found it crude to discuss money (you agreed)
I disagreed saying that perhaps others will find it useful and Rooter won't have to respond to everyone individually (there were 3 people who had asked on the cost at that point)

I can only assume you mean I am being difficult as I am expressing an opinion to something that is different to yours.
 
Wow, now bored so here is the PM i sent to Midnight.

Hello mate, I weighed up doing it myself, but realised how much work it would have been...

Total cost was just shy of 1400 quid. When you weigh that up with shelling out

grass 400-500
weed matt 30
skip hire 300
wacker plate hire 30
sand 50
balast stone 75
wood edging 20

Just about a grand, so for 400 quid extra i saved my back and they did it in 6 hours! Would have taken me weeks!!

Not sure where you are, but i have a feeling u are local ish to me?? anyway, the guy is www.newlooklawns.co.uk and is based in reading. Very good service, he cracked a patio slab, so went straight off and bought 2 new ones (as the one next to it was cracked already) and replaced them! Proper service!

Guarantee on the grass is 10 years.

Good luck!


Interesting info. Thanks for sharing :)

You owe me one laptop screen wipe! Mine now has half a mouthful of coffee on it!

Just back from Fleetwood Mac at the Hydro........a tenner a pop for 'cocktails' prior to the gig I'm hoping you'll let me off. :)
 
Looking pretty good Scotty boyo.
We got more tarmaccing done so the grass area was slashed to less than a quarter of its original to make room for our cars side by side rather than one behind another. While not pennies it made more sense than the cost of maintaining real grass and really, it wasnt exactly extortionate. We decided to put a mini cherry blossom in between the turf coming out and the work commencing.
I think for all the size of the area it has been smartened up. With some of the old petals from the tree mixed into the fibres it now looks even more realistic.

The fence has since been painted, wall whitewashed and the neighbour had their grass bit replaced too. The missus's wagon is parked to the right of mine in the pic, where my car is now, used to be grass with a narrower entrance. Probably one of the better improvements we'had done externally next to the decking out back. Im not a housey person but the wife says it gives the house more kerb appeal whatever that is.:blah:

HID watches Obsessive Cleaners or some other such twaddle....anyway...a woman on their got the artificial put in her garden to stop her kids bringing mud in etc etc as explained before.

In the clip I saw, she was out with her dyson twice a day keeping it clean!!! Madness.

When (if) I own a place I will be getting this done. Spent the last 3 weeks seeding, weeding, watering, mowing etc tryin to recover the lawn at my rented place! all that work & may not get renewed end of the summer!

It is so uneven I feel like I am walking the valleys when I mow it!
 
Three years ago I had bare top soil out front. I seeded it, and for 8 months odd Had a fantastic lawn. Now it's moss and weeds. I should have gone plastic.
 
Looks great, but what a rip off on the skip, all the large builders skips I use cost me only £140!
