Artificial Grass for homes in Forest Town
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 Forest Town
Forest Town sits on the eastern edge of Mansfield and was built as a model village for Mansfield Colliery, which gives the older part of it a planned, consistent layout — regular streets of brick housing on uniform plots with defined front gardens and long rear gardens. Considerable modern development has expanded the settlement since, adding newer estate housing with smaller, level plots. The planned older housing is genuinely rewarding to work with because the plots are consistent and generous: there is room for a driveway with proper turning space and a rear garden that can carry a full scheme rather than a single patio. The area sits on the free-draining Sherwood sandstone, favourable for base construction but still requiring proper compaction under a driveway.
