blackmagic Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 blackmagic - did the mesh show through the grass or was it quite well hidden? One the grass has grown through you are cutting above the mesh so it gets embedded in the grass and doesn't show unless you cut the grass too short.

snow Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 Claz has just had her garden done with artificial grass - I think its the same stuff Marion linked to and several of the Gap people have done theirs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 (edited) Thanks snow. I prefer real grass though, but it does get boggy in my garden when it's wet. I'm going to get it sorted and then make sure the dogs don't go on it during the autumn/winter. They've got plenty of patio space to play on now.

Ian Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Takes time but I used lots of saw dust - dug down 3 / 4 feet put some in soil, some more etc a few years ago - also some horse manure dug in to try & improve the soil, fork holes into it regularly etc. I've still not got there in terms of getting the grass resown well this year - dogs plus builders with a digger for next doors wall last year - but it's starting to come through & the soil is certainly a lot better than it used to be. Gardeners forum I took ideas from here http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/problem-solving/clay-soil-and-boggy-lawn/74423.html Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Before and After pics of what has now been christened 'Rhodo Corner' - fence panels have been installed and painted, as has the back fence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 What a difference! The dogs will love lying out on the paving flags when its hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 They're more interested in pooing on it at the moment. As are the birds. In the middle there's a lovely sunny spot and because of where the garage is it's not at all overlooked. I suspect I'll be spending some time out there when ths sun's out.
