  • The premier grass surface fitted by specialist installers

    Barratt London’s Camden Courtyards development has been shortlisted for several awards for its double courtyard scheme within a seven-storey, S-shaped building. Bounded on two sides by busy roads, the courtyard setting was designed to enhance the outlook for residents, with two landscaped rooftop terraces adding space for play, and a calming outdoor ‘room’ for relaxation.

    The premier grass surface fitted by specialist installers LazyLawn® involved over 350 square metres of Lazy Adore selected by the client. Latest installation techniques were used to minimise weight at the top of the building and tackle the challenges of transporting heavy materials to the rooftop area, which had to be done by crane.

    A series of cut out circles and raised flower beds delivers contemporary greenery with a tranquil planting scheme, while a separate space is set with obstacles and spinning discs for children to play.

It’s one of the reasons the marketplace and demand for bespoke LazyLawn installations have seen astronomical growth in recent years. Bold, hard-wearing and requiring minimal maintenance, the Queen’s Jubilee LazyLawn designs lead the way in this and many public, commercial and domestic projects across the country. We’re very proud to have been able to mark Her Majesty’s 70 years of public service in this way”.

    Created and assembled at LazyLawn’s headquarters in Rutland, the step surface is made from Fun Grass 15mm and the Platinum Jubilee emblem in Funky Purple 25-30mm artificial grass. It will remain in place throughout the celebratory period.

  • 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.
