Time to resurrect an old thread!
Finally got round to asking for some quotes for the artificial grass.
To recap I have a depth of 4m and width of 7m, most of it is monobloc but part of it is concrete base from the old garage. Missus wants colour in the garden rather than plain blocs and concrete.
Guy came round tonight to give a quote - he immediately said don't lift the block or try and do anything with the concrete. He said that he would recommend just to shutter the 4 sides of it in (one side already has decking running full length), then infill it (didn't say what with) and then lay the turf on top if it.
I am at the advantage that it is 4m wide which is the same as the size that the rolls of turf come in so no need to be doing joins or anything.
His quote was £2000. A quick google seems to suggest I can get decent turf, 7mx4m, for about £4-£500 online but there is a local retailer to me that I will go in and actually see it.
Surely must be worth giving it a try myself? Some ton bags of sand and whatever infill the local retailer suggests?
Have watched some youtube videos, much of the effort seems to be on the cutting and joining but I wont have any of that. And I see that you need to brush sand through it once laid.
Anyone any of the wiser on this since last July when I first raised the question?
