[ARTIFICIAL GRASS TIPS]

-

• Make absolutely sure the surface is level before you start laying the pavers, and make sure the blocks are equidistan­t or the end result won’t look as impressive. • Use good quality artificial grass – cheap grass will lose its colour within a few years. Reliable suppliers of artificial grass usually give extended guarantees. • Use a good carpet knife. It was definitely not a good idea to use my Victorinox kitchen knife! I found the cutting of the grass was the most demanding aspect of our project. • If your region gets a lot of rain and the grass area is big enough, I would recommend that the pavers and grass are laid at a slight slope so that the water can run off. But since we live in the desert and get little rainfall, the drainage holes we made are sufficient.
