When carrying out artificial grass maintenance, there are a few easy methods to consider that will keep your garden looking beautiful. Whether it’s a quick brush to get rid of dry debris or a quick s

Installation Step 1 - Calculating Grass required

Before starting work you need to calculate how much artificial grass you will require.  Carefully measure the overall length and width of the planned turfed area. Always allow for the widest part of the lawn.

Namgrass artificial grass is supplied from 2 metre or 4 metre wide rolls.  For a garden area of 5.2 metre wide and 6 metre long you would need 2 rolls: 4m x 6m and 2m x 6m.  You would then cut back from the 4 metre (possibly 2 metre) roll to achieve you 5.2 metre width.

Envello Shadow Line profile or Envello Board and Batten profile?

There’s a choice of two profiles and four colours to provide different styles for almost every property type. Years of development of Millboard products has helped to produce a composite cladding designed to stand the test of time.
Shadow Line Cladding is available in Antique Oak (MCG360A) , Golden Oak (MCG360G) , Burnt Cedar (MCG360R) or Smoked Oak (MCG360D). There is also a matched colour range of ancillary trims. Shadow Line boards are designed to replicate a smoother timber with a flat-grain finish.

Transport for Fibre Cement products

Our business has evolved over the last few years and we are enjoying increased demand for cladding products.  James Hardie supply a range of fibre cement cladding, aluminium trims and speciailist fittings including coloured paint and colour head stainless screws. We also get requests from all over the UK for Hardie's Geckgo Gauges, Circular Saw Blades and Guillotines.  Transport has traditionally been a challenge but we are finding more cost-effective ways of moving products around Mainland UK.

It is coming to that time of year again, shorter and colder days and not so much to do in the garden. Why not take the autumn/winter slowdown for organising storage around the garden and utility areas. To make life easier we have pulled together what we think might be useful.
