  • The Lexicon Celebrates Queen’s Platinum Jubilee With Artificial Grass Installation

    Making a striking statement on the steps of The Lexicon, LazyLawn’s artificial grass creations have returned. This time, ready to welcome visitors and celebrate the forthcoming Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June, the Lazylawn team has interpreted the design brief and delivered a real head-turner.

    Alternating the Union Jack and the Queen’s Jubilee icons between the rich green synthetic turf stages, the 170 square metre installation was completed in April. The logos were pre-assembled on LazyLawn’s cutting beds by inlaying different colour grass sections to create the flags and emblems.

    The new design is ready to welcome retail visitors and help build excitement and anticipation for the Jubilee celebrations and the four-day UK bank holiday weekend from Thursday 2nd to Sunday 5th June and will remain during the summer months.

  • Using 100 square metres of Lusso 30mm olive-green artificial grass

    Former pupil Jack attended the school until the age of 11.  He has gone on to achieve Premier League football success for Aston Villa and Manchester City, as well as his now established place in the national side.  27-year-old Grealish currently has 25 caps and 2 England goals under his international career belt and has been an ever-present member of the England team playing at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

    The pitch was installed over three days in November 2022 by LazyLawn West Midlands.  The 4-strong team first created a six-inch raised platform and prepared the surface with 30 tonnes of hardcore to ensure free drainage.  Using 100 square metres of Lusso 30mm olive-green artificial grass, the pitch was also finished with white artificial grass line marking. The LazyLawn team installed the goal posts and the corner flags, bedecked in the School’s colours.

    LazyLawn West Midlands Dallan Tan said: “This was a great opportunity to transform a muddy field unsuitable for outdoor play into an all-season, all-sports area. Using artificial grass offers the children a clean and safe play environment and provides the school with a hard-wearing, long-lasting, free-draining solution. A real win-win for everyone.”

    Headteacher Neil Emery is very pleased with the new pitch and play area which allows the children extensive outdoor play on a safe, clean, durable surface – and maybe the new pitch will open the opportunities for the next Jack Grealish to extend their soccer skills at the School.

  • The Seaming Method Hack

    As mentioned above, you’ll probably have to cut and seam together multiple pieces of turf when you install artificial grass. Most of the time, this is accomplished using seaming tape, seaming glue, and nails. This method is considered the most secure and reliable, but also the most expensive. While the cost of seaming tape and glue might be negligible for a small installation, it can become substantial for larger ones.

    The cheap alternative? Just use nails – a lot of them. This is a perfectly viable seaming method for some installations, though not quite as secure. Nails can and often do work loose over time and with enough foot traffic, so we only recommend this method if your grass isn’t going to get a lot of that.

    If you’ve got a large installation area that won’t see much foot traffic, a box or two of inexpensive 5-inch nails might just do it.

  • 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.

  • High-Quality, Low-Cost Artificial Grass Remnants

    Depending on the total square footage of your project, artificial grass remnants can be a great money-saver! Remnants are unused turf pieces from past jobs that are sold at discounted rates. They vary in size, but will not typically be larger than 15′ x 15′.

    Remnant availability is different from location to location, and they must be picked up from the store and cannot be delivered, but you can shop available turf remnants before stopping in! Simply select the nearest location to you in the dropdown menu and shop what’s in stock – updated weekly.

    However, keep in mind that artificial grasses are produced in dye lots. This means that two separately manufactured rolls of the same product type might have slight variations in color. If having remnant pieces from the same dye lot does not matter to you, great! But if it does, you can ask your Purchase Green representative to confirm if the dye lots are the same or different before buying.

    Although, many DIYers have installed remnant pieces from different dye lots. Sometimes the individual pieces are installed in separate areas, or have planters or other landscape elements in between them – distracting the eye from their (somewhat) noticeable difference in color.
