  • What made this project so successful?


    We not only provided the materials but also customized it to the unique needs of the client’s area. We sent him three turf samples so he could choose the perfect soccer field. Our turf also includes a drainage layer to handle heavy afternoon rains, and we even shared a simplified installation guide with the client. “You listened carefully to our real needs, and I’m sure the kids will be pleasantly surprised when school starts,” said a client.

    We create soccer, basketball, badminton, and other materials to suit your climate, style, and budget for schools, parks, and community centers around the world. Whether you need a running track that withstands the scorching heat or turf that matches your team’s colors, we can help you create the sports field of your dreams and a space that youth and professional trainers will love.

  • How our playground building materials helped bring this school’s vision to life？

    When this client contacted us, they had a clear goal: to upgrade their aging playground into a space capable of withstanding the state’s scorching summer heat, sudden thunderstorms, and accommodating hundreds of children daily.

    Just recently, they sent us a feedback video that delighted our team—it showcased the final field created using our full suite of materials: a durable, durable running track, a custom green artificial soccer field, and an easy-to-maintain basketball court floor.

    “It’s a world of difference,” the client told us. “Last summer, our old track was too hot for the kids to play on—but now, it stays cool in the sun, and even with daily use, there’s not a crack in sight.” He then panned his camera to capture the soccer field’s turf, its beautiful, natural color. “I thought it was real grass at first! It’s soft enough to roll on, yet firm enough—we’ll have soccer games every weekend, and I’m sure the kids will love it!” The basketball court also received praise: “It’s been raining lightly the past couple of days, but the surface is still very non-slip, allowing the kids to play safely even in the rain. It only takes us a few minutes to wipe off the mud. We really appreciate your team’s design and dedication!”

  • The low maintenance lawn creates the ideal area for children

    “The installation was much quicker than expected, and provided a wonderful surprise for our children when they came back after their half term break.

    “We are now able to teach children road safety using this fun and bright teaching aid that can be used in all weathers.”
    Molly Arnold, Project Co-ordinator for LazyLawn® said: “We are proud to have added to Brooke Hill Academy’s outdoor space, and we are finding more schools are interested in getting a LazyLawn® for themselves.

    “The low maintenance lawn creates the ideal area for children to play on all year round. Standing the pressure of lots of use, the area is also low-slip, with no muddy mess and no surface burns, unlike older style artificial turf.”

  • In fact an increasing number of schools and educational establishments up

    This isn’t the first school in Rutland to have transformed an under used, outside area into something more useful and entertaining. In 2016 Langham Primary School and in 2013 Cottesmore’s St Nicolas Primary and Nursery School commissioned LazyLawn to install a similar roadway as did Whissendine Primary School the following year.

    In fact an increasing number of schools and educational establishments up and down the country are opting to swap traditional surfaces for LazyLawn® because of the varied and innovative applications as well as its soft texture and longevity.

    Other similar installations have even included applying LazyLawn® to the walls of a classroom in order to provide a sensory experience for Special Educational Needs pupils.

    The Brooke Hill Academy project was funded by a sponsored jig, where a local dance teacher attended the school and parents, children and staff participated.

    Richard Westley, Head of School at Brooke Hill Academy, said: “We were so impressed by the quality of LazyLawn® that we decided to get our own.

  • Fun lawn is way to road safety for Oakham children

    Children in Oakham returned to school after half term recently to find a fun outdoor space ready for them to play on that also teaches them about road safety.

    A previously hard, concrete area is now soft, interesting to play on and educational at Brooke Hill Academy thanks to LazyLawn®. The space is also safe to use come rain or shine, especially whist riding their scooters and trikes.

    The UK’s leading supplier of artificial grass, which has its headquarters in nearby Market Overton, has installed the new play area at the Brooke Road school ahead of schedule and during half term in order to avoid disruption to the pupils.

    80 square metres of Fun Grass and Wonder Yarn 26mm was used to create a bespoke mock road, with coloured grass for tarmac, white lines, a parking bay and a grass surround.

    The result is an all-weather area designed to provide a setting for both playtime and outdoor learning.

  • The Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air World War

    The launch will be welcoming 100 local VIP’s, the Commanding Officers of the UK’s RAF stations, the Air Officer Commanding 1 Group RAF and also all key partners in the project.

    Dave Harrigan MBE, Aviation Heritage Manager at Aviation Heritage Lincolnshire, said: “The Lincolnshire: Bastion in the Air World War I project is delighted to be working with LazyLawn®.

    “The authentic airfield is an exact replica of how it was in the First World War, complete with a grass runway area beautifully laid by LazyLawn®.

    “The intricate work and professional look of the diorama has been enhanced by LazyLawn®’s attention to detail, and we are very happy to have them as partners to this nationally recognised project.”

    Peter Footitt, Production Director at LazyLawn®, said: “We are proud to be involved in such an important event for the RAF. The exhibition looks very impressive so far and we are looking forward to seeing the finished product at the launch.”

  • 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.
