  • LazyLawn Scotland raises £3K for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity

    aving a garden in which to enjoy precious family time is important, especially for families with small children. Gavin and Anna Brown, owners of LazyLawn Scotland, have twin boys, Josh and Logan, who regularly enjoy their outdoor space at home thanks to their artificial grass lawn.

    The boys are thriving now, but their journey into the world was a daunting and worrying time, as their parents recall only too clearly. Thankfully, they had the support of the Foetal Unit at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital whose funding relies heavily on charitable donations through Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity.

    To say thank you to the hospital, the Browns launched a commercial fundraiser fuelled by their artificial grass business, LazyLawn Scotland. Generated from a contribution from two months of installations in 2020, the team raised £3,300 and donated the cheque to the charity in March 2021.

  • LazyLawn install artificial grass pitch at Jack Grealish School

    Creating the perfect training conditions for future England football sensations, LazyLawn West Midlands have installed a 5-a-side multi-use games area at the Solihull primary school at which England star Jack Grealish was a pupil.

    Unveiled on 29 November 2022 and featured on BBC Breakfast, the previously waterlogged, boggy and swampy field at Our Lady of Compassion Catholic Primary School in Solihull has been transformed into a vibrant play surface. Where there was previously no suitable surface or space for outdoor play, the children can now enjoy a fully usable and durable games area, free draining and stable under foot – a long way from its boggy muddy past where Grealish would have played.

  • The Secret to Low-Cost Sub-base

    Sub-base. What is it? Who needs it? Well, if you’re installing artificial grass, you do, my friend. 

    Sub-base goes where your natural grass was once you’ve excavated down a few inches and before you install the grass. Its primary job is to prevent the natural expansion and contraction of your yard’s native soil from affecting the turf, thus preventing wrinkles from popping up.

    In most professional installations, it’s one of three things:

    1. crushed miscellaneous base – CMB,
    2. class II road base, or
    3. decomposed granite.

    Decomposed granite is considered the best of the three due to its superior drainage and ability to render a consistently flat surface. Certain types of installations, like putting greens, need decomposed granite sub-base more in order to perform and last. The problem with decomposed granite is it’s expensive. 

    Is there a workaround?

    In most cases, you can get good performance and longevity out of artificial grass with the use of only a small amount of decomposed granite. In fact, only the top few inches of sub-base need to be decomposed granite in order to get good drainage and overall performance. This means you can fill most of your excavated area with inexpensive class II or CMB, then just spread a few inches of decomposed granite on the surface. This will bring down the cost considerably and produce fair results.

    That being said, there are some installations for which we never recommend skimping on decomposed granite subbase. If you receive lots of rainfall, or already have drainage issues in your yard, this strategy isn’t likely to work out. Be sure to discuss your project’s particulars with our turf experts for more guidance.

  • Choosing Artificial Grass for Your Football Field

    One of the main football field’s big areas has artificial grass rather than natural grass. szgrass Artificial Grass makes a robust and safe playing surface to withstand heavy usage and inclement weather. That means players can safely play the game without the risk of getting hurt or coming across muddy stains. But there are a variety of types and brands of artificial grass available, and it can be tough to determine which is best for your football field. Having something to look for will make the choice easier. 

    Things To Consider

  • Making Playgrounds Accessible with ASTM F1951

    If you’re adding artificial grass to a playground, making sure it meets ASTM F1951 standards is key to keeping the space accessible for everyone, including individuals using wheelchairs and other mobility devices. While artificial grass can be designed to meet these standards, the whole installation—including the base, infill, and transitions—needs to be done right to ensure compliance. 

    What is ASTM F1951 and Why Does It Matter? 

    ASTM F1951 measures how easy it is for wheelchairs to move across a surface. Just having ASTM F1951-certified artificial grass isn’t enough—the entire system, from the base to the edges, plays a role in making sure the surface is safe and accessible.
