    I had 100m2 of 30mm artificial grass laid recently. We moved into a new build late last year and the grass seed was patchy at best. We've got 2 young boys (6 and 2) and a labrador so needed the garden to be useable all year round.
    Ordered grass from the UK which came in at just over 2k. A friend had some installed by a landscaper and we got him to come out and do the groundworks/install for us. Took 3 days and it's been amazing for us.
    They dug out about 8 inches of ground. There's 4 inches on hardcore, 2 inches of pea gravel then 2 inches of sand before the grass sits on top.
    Really nice finish and no more kids or dog dragging mud in around the house on a rainy day!

    Who did you get the grass from in the UK? Did they deliver or did you have to organise delivery?

    https://www.artificialgrassdirect.co.uk/ was the place we got it. Delivery was around 50 quid

    Dear god guys, can you just please consider very bloody carefully on artificial grass?

    It doesn't sustain insects, birds can't pull worms out, it doesn't contribute anything organic to soil. It's got about 10 years of useful life and then 1000 years of plastic landfill. It needs to be maintained (vacuumed).

    Is there ANY other surface you could use instead? Paving, flags, gravel, barkmulch, plants... anything at all that's just natural?
