Artificial lawn

[lewis s]

I have an area in the back garden that is currently concrete but i would like to lay it with artificial lawn. is there a way of doing this without having to dig up all of the old concrete?

All information and hints on the subject apreciated

Have a hunt around the net, but I was at a customers house last week and they had just had easigrass laid; they compact the soil then put down underlay that looks like mashed up rubber, then grass stuff on top. Felt great, and can lay on concrete.

Look on ebay for a guy selling artificial putting greens, I'm thinking about getting one as they look pretty good.
Ask for a sample + instructions to be sent to you. £56 for each 1m x 2m if I remember correctly & widths of 2m or 4m(+ lengths of something like 12M)

I had LazyLawns do mine. Very happy with it.
I posted pics and a thread up here a while ago. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: Here you go

A quick read of that thread would suggest that I'd have to vacuum clean it rather than mow it. Not sure it's a step forward!

I've not had a problem. Every so often I get a few leaves blow into the garden, and a quick sweep with the broom sorts it.
Would definitely not recommend vacuuming it.

Dont vacuum, just hose down and brush.
