Artificial Grass for homes in Ravenshead
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 Ravenshead
Ravenshead sits between Mansfield and Nottingham on the edge of the old Sherwood estates near Newstead Abbey, and it is noticeably different in character from the former mining towns around it — largely twentieth-century private housing, much of it detached and set on generous, well-treed plots. Larger plots with mature trees change the work in specific ways: driveways tend to be longer approaches with turning areas rather than short frontages, established root systems need to be respected during excavation, and rear gardens are big enough to justify a properly designed layout with terraces, steps, paths and defined planting areas. The wooded setting also makes surface choice worth thinking about, since dense porcelain and resin surfaces handle heavy autumn leaf fall far better than open-textured ones.
