Looks like his neighbours garden needs a bit of a tidy up.My neighbour has just filled in his swimming pool and laid some crappy artificialgrass. He says it'll be good for their young kids all year round but it looks terrible IMHO
Here's a couple of pix from last week's prep and today. The prep in their case was a layer of concrete over the rubble-filled pool, 4 inches of reddish crushed material and 4 inches of sand - tamped and whacked as described above.]
Pah!Looks nicer than the Good Life allotment next to it
Pah again!Looks like his neighbours garden needs a bit of a tidy up.
Essentially, you try everything, and then re-lay proper turf.The only thing about the artificial stuff, apart from it being artificial, is how do you clean it. I have a dog, so didn't fancy that idea.
@rich p , It does look terrible. I think it's at the cheaper end of the scale.
And why is the garden so high compared to yours?
I guess it was raised when the pool was first installed before my time here. Then they filled it in with rubble from the recent conversion from bungalow to 2 storey house and laid extra layers on that.@rich p , It does look terrible. I think it's at the cheaper end of the scale.

It may be an illusion but the astroturf is 6ft lower than my garden, due to the slope of the road, but the neighbours on the other side are going to be overlooked by anyone on the artificial surface. Madness.
I'm thinking of starting up a community group called 'Neighbourhood Stalk'Even if they're looking the other way?
Anyway, everyone's overlooked by the nose farker, with the scruffy garden, taking pictures out of the roof window.
