This project was done in two stages. The first was the steep bank which was covered with traditional grass. The customer was finding the area very difficult to maintain and potentially very dangerous to mow. So, the answer was an artificial grass slope!
This proved to be a challenging project due to the steepness of the slope, but our team of expert landscapers found a way! The area was constructed using a concrete haunch around the perimeter with a 100mm type 1 base and finished with sharp sand.
The second stage was the area at the bottom of the grass. One particular area was very soft and was thought to have a spring running beneath it, which would explain the water logging in the area. After digging a trial hole it was decided that the best way to solve the problem was to construct a solid edge all the way around, then fill the area with 200mm type 1 hardcore that was compacted to form a solid base. A geotextile membrane was then placed under a layer of plumb slate chipping.
We all at Kennedy Landscapes take great pride in our work and love transforming outdoor spaces come in many shapes and sizes along with many different uses. At the end of the day the most important thing it to have a outdoor space that the customers is happy with. And that has been achieved with this project.
