  • 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.

  • building a sub base for artificial grass installations.

    Based on the success of these panels in unique applications, more and more installers started using them as a sub base for everything from athletic fields and putting greens to lawns and landscape. They can installed in a fraction of the time as a crushed rock base and do not require heavy equipment that often destroys the surrounding area. Simply excavate the land, lay the geotextile fabric and drop and lock the panels into place. The savings in labor, equipment, clean up and other costs makes these panels incredibly cost effective. Plus, they provide the long term structural stability and drainage to ensure a long-lasting solution that performs. Visit Ultra Base to see why these panels are ideal for building a sub base for artificial grass installations.

    A Concrete Pad Alternative

    Ultra Base also offer panels for those looking for a safer, less permanent, and better draining alternative to a concrete pad or sub base. By Replacing Mass with Science, Ultra Base panels streamline installation, reduce site disruption, and provide a number of benefits over concrete pads. Visit Ultra Base to view panels that can be used for installing artificial grass over concrete or as a concrete pad alternative.

  • An Alternative to a Crushed Rock Base

    One alternative that is used by some artificial grass installers is the innovative Ultra Base System. Not only is this panel system ideal for sloped installs, rooftops, and limited access areas, but it can be used on virtually any job to streamline installation, reduce site disruption, and save turf installers money.

    A Base for Unique Applications

    There are many instances in which a crushed rock sub base is not an ideal option. For instance, creating a base for artificial grass on a sloped area is not really feasible with loose stone and Ultra Base panels represent an ideal alternative. Stone is also too heavy and inconvenient for many rooftop applications and the lighter weight Ultra Base panels excel by providing both structural support and excellent drainage. Plus, like many spaces, it is often impossible or impractical to dump tons of stone on a street and figure out how to get it to a rooftop. Ultra Base panels are ideal for these “limited access” spaces including courtyards, inner city spaces, and existing patio and pool areas where damage to the space is a major concern.

  • Sub-base Compacting

    Once you’ve decided on the appropriate sub-base material, it’s time to shake a leg…and everything else too! After you’ve spread the sub-base material over your installation site, your best option for a proper installation is to use a vibratory-plate compactor. You may also opt to use a roller and a hand tamper to get those hard-to-reach areas and tight corners. Oh, and be sure to wet down your sub-base as you’re compacting it to help remove any voids or air spaces.

    Adding a sub-base may seem like a lot of extra work. But like anything worth doing, it’s worth doing well. Installing artificial grass the right way the first time will be beneficial in the long run. For more information on the installation process, check out our artificial grass installation videos or come on down to your local Purchase Green store. We’re happy to help you figure out which sub-base is right for your and how much you need for your installation.
