  • Green runway propels upcoming RAF exhibition to success

    A 150 ft long runway, made entirely from artificial grass is currently being installed at RAF Scampton ahead of a new exhibition to mark 100 years of the UK’s aerial force.

    The UK’s leading supplier of artificial grass, LazyLawn® will also be installing a red carpet as part of the event ready for welcoming guests at its official opening on 5th April.

    The exhibition named, Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air, is being installed in the Dambuster hangar and will feature the recreation of part of a World War I airfield in France, including three replica aircraft, to highlight the work carried out in constructing aircraft at the time.

    LazyLawn® has installed 600m2 of its green ‘Fresh’ grass to form the runway and will also be installing approximately 120m2 of red carpet to complete the space.

    Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Lincolnshire County Council and West Lindsey District Council, the Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air exhibition is due to run until the end of August.

  • LazyLawn helps hay fever sufferers to reclaim their gardens

    As the nation’s 10 million hay fever sufferers are braced for the pollen season, those determined to soak up the sunshine in their own gardens can fight back by swapping their grass for a LazyLawn.

    LazyLawn, the nations leading brand of artificial grass, is seeing an increase in enquiries from those looking for a solution to hay fever hell and a way to enjoy their gardens once more. As 95% of hay fever sufferers are allergic to grass pollen, installing an artificial lawn could help to reduce symptoms and allow people to reclaim their gardens.

    Andy Driver, Marketing Director at LazyLawn, comments: “A LazyLawn can be a great preventative measure for hay fever sufferers who want to be able to enjoy the warmer weather, rather than hiding themselves away.

    “Those with hay fever are advised to avoid exposure to grass and mowing the lawn in order to relieve symptoms, but people naturally want to make the most of spring and LazyLawn offers the perfect solution.

    “While synthetic grass won’t cure hay fever, installing a LazyLawn can help to minimise symptoms by limiting your exposure to grass pollen, creating hay fever free haven in your own garden.”

    Grass pollen, which contains proteins that cause the nose, eyes, throat and sinuses to become swollen, irritated and inflamed, usually disperses from late May to early August.

  • Continuity and professionalism

    In addition to the dip remediation, there was an 820 metre stretch of resin-bound bark-effect perimeter installed – in black for a stark contrast to the lush green of the pitch.  With Steve’s 10-strong team enlisted as needed for concreting, grass installation, resin bound mulch and white-line marking, the project began at the start of July and saw its conclusion in late October.  Normally requiring 300 tonnes of in-fill prior to artificial grass installation, the additional dip fill meant over 530 tonnes of MOT type 1 aggregate and 6mm-to-dust granite was delivered across the project.

    “Steve and his team are a credit to your company.” continues Rachel.  “He takes time and would never cut corners – that’s why he continues to be our preferred contractor”.

  • A level playing field

    The 7-a-side pitch was fitted with LazyLawn Vitality product in a 30mm depth in a project that took just over three months to complete. The install was slightly hampered by contending with British wintry conditions, the additional complication of groundworks and surface preparation and levelling out a natural dip that was discovered in the area. The surrounding fencing had been removed and there was additional remediation of the ground and replacement of the pin curbs to rectify.

    Right product for purpose and budget

    “We’ve worked with Steve and his team at LazyLawn and Xternal Worx since 2016 – the quality and the choice of product is superb.” explains Head Teacher Rachel Beckett, who was keen to ensure the high quality and finish had continuity across the playgrounds and sports surfaces at the Academy.  She also wanted to make sure the right product and specification was selected for purpose and budget. She continues: “Other suppliers were keen to push 3G and 4G pitches but Steve understood exactly what we really needed – this is a pitch for small children, after all!”. 

    Rachel and her grounds team were also impressed with the striped finish the Vitality 30mm created. With the fence removal, she could ensure the view from her office was unencumbered, perfect for her to enjoy the open space and keep an eye on the sporting activities of the pupils easily.

  • Outdoor Sports Pitch Extends Primary Academy’s All Weather Learning Facilities

    Opened at an official ceremony headlined by Stoke City’s Junior Tchamedeu & Port Vale’s James Wilson, Jason Lowe & Sian McHugh in November 2023, Sandon Primary Academy’s brand new sports pitch has already proved a fantastic addition to the school’s outdoor facilities.

    With the front approach to the school already covered with LazyLawn artificial surfaces, this latest 2000 square metre installation extends the School’s sports provision and will be an invaluable space for outdoor learning activities into 2024 and beyond.

    Responsible for all the site’s artificial grass and resin-bound surfaces, Steve Johnson of LazyLawn Sandbach returned to the site in this latest project, just one in a number completed over the last eight years. His team are experts in the supply and installation of synthetic surfaces and wet-pour safety surfaces.

  • Experts in event and logo flooring and surface designs

    The installation usually remains down from early May throughout the summer months, removed by the client when it suits.

  • Delivering the client brief for visitor engagement

    The LazyLawn Creative team discuss the possibilities for the design each year, with ideas briefed by the management team at The Lexicon – and it never disappoints.

    Once again, I’m amazed at the end results on the steps this year. The LazyLawn team are brilliant – whatever wild and wacky ideas we throw at them, they always come back with a great interpretation of our design brief.

    This year, the step design and delivery has really taken our breath away – the combination of colours and its simple yet striking stripe design has been incredibly well received by all who have seen it. And particularly the public response has been fantastic – especially on a sunny day, it is attracting people to sit, take photos and enjoy what would otherwise be an unexciting space. It makes a great, bold, bright statement and we love it!

  • Simple but stunning surface design

    Developing the step story in artificial grass from that first 2019 installation in plain green with a simple one-step logo, this year’s artwork features red, yellow, green striped edges along the bright blue esplanade.  Finished with a repeating white The Lexicon logo, the team have used around 170 square metres of Fun Grass at a depth of 10mm.

    A finely-tuned puzzle

    As in the last five installations, the intricacies of each logo piece are pre-made at the company’s cutting facilities in Oakham, Rutland. This year saw the additional pre-cutting of the striped grass sections for each step. The puzzle is then assembled and skillfully installed in situ.

    Whilst the end results look seamless and straightforward, it is always a challenging installation – and one to which we love to rise! There’s a lot of preparatory work in the step sections themselves, as well as the assembly and accuracy required to fit and fix the pieces securely and safely in place. However, it’s always worth it when we take a step back and take in the overall effect when it’s complete.

  • Return to The Lexicon: LazyExpo steps up again

    The steps at The Lexicon, Bond Square, Bracknell have once again been dressed to welcome its Spring and Summer retail visitors. Extending its bold and bright history, shoppers are treated and greeted this year with a primary colour display as they approach their shopping experience at the mall in Berkshire.

    Since 2019, the LazyLawn Expo team have returned each year (bar the pandemic) to fit and hit the client design brief with a strong splash of colour upon the steps that lead the way to the entrance – and this year goes one step further.
