Big Brother 8 Artificial Lawns

Evergreens supplied and installed over 200sqm of Lazy Grass. This artificial grass was used because of its proven track record in the Big Brother 7 secret garden and the main lawn in Celebrity Big Brother 2007.

The lawn areas including the secret garden were installed in one day during the construction of the house. With the smoking ban put in place, the garden became the main area for many of the contestants. To ensure the surface remained safe, durable and complied with the production companies requirements it was decided that the sand filled Lazy Grass was the most suitable option. The infill of Lazy Grass enabled the product to lay 100% flat following the natural contours of the ground below whilst providing a fixing method to the floor without the need of folding the artificial grass over the timbers to fix to, it also gave the grass a level of fire resistance.

During the show the garden was heavily used by 24 different housemates over a 14 week period, the lawn was extensively used for many things including tasks, sunbathing, and smoking. At the end of the show producers and design staff were surprised how good it looked with no sign of wear, or damage so it was left in place for further television projects to this day.
