For this installation in Leicester, Lazy Lawn was called in to completely overhaul the area including adding shaped boarders and extending the pathway to the rear of the garden. The area was completely water logged and turned into a mud bath by the customer's playful dogs. This caused mud to be carried into the house by the dogs and problems for the elderly customer to access the shed at the rear of the garden.

The area was approximately 300sqm. This was first cleared of turf and loose soil. The soil base was then levelled using our turf cutter to provide a level base on which the hardcore was placed and compacted this in turn was blinded with 6mm - 1mm granite and again compacted. This provides a clean smooth surface that ensures a trouble free installation and allows water to quickly drain away.

When installing your lawn consider keeping features showing like tree roots or rock out crops. Many people make the mistake of covering over features which can result in a lawn looking too perfect. We work on the principle that, if it would naturally show and would add feature value then leave it showing. This may be a little fiddly to install but the finished work looks so much more realistic. This also applies to natural falls and ground levels, again removing natural falls can leave a garden looking a little like a bowling green.
