Anyone done this themselves? Got an area of garden approx. 50m2 in an L shape that we want to put artificial grass on.

The plan is to remove the existing soil/grass down to a depth of 8". Then add 4" of type 1 and 4" of sharp sand. Both will be firmed with a wacker plate. A weed membrane will then be laid on top before the grass is rolled out and pinned into place.

We've been quoted £60/m2 from start to finish including the grass and boards all around the sides but that only included a 3" base of 10mm limestone.

I think we can do it for a quarter of the price and do a better job.

Any suggestions?

Artificial grass, why For Funks Sake?
Question Author
Because the area is on thick clay. It floods with the lightest shower of rain and I have to mow it. THAT'S WHY

No need to shout DEAR!
My son bought a quantity of artificial grass recently. It was stolen overnight & he and his neighbours never heard a thing. It was reported to the police but there is unlikely to be any positive outcome.

Don't suppose there's many grasses round your way, DSJ.

Sorry....couldn't resist.
...obviously, a very seedy area....
This might seem like a daft question but won't you get big puddles on it when it rains?
