Artificial Grass for homes in Ollerton
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 Ollerton
Ollerton is two distinct places sharing a name. Old Ollerton is a small historic village on the River Maun with period cottages, mature trees and traditional boundaries, where natural stone paving and sympathetic walling sit far better than anything sharply modern. New Ollerton, built for the colliery, is planned housing on a much larger scale — regular streets of brick semis and terraces with the generous front and rear gardens typical of purpose-built pit housing. The two need genuinely different design approaches. The town sits on the edge of Sherwood Forest on sandy, free-draining ground, which is generally favourable for building driveway and patio bases, though it still needs compacting properly rather than being treated as a sub-base in its own right.
