Photo's Rowland Road Back Garden Synthetic Grass Work in Progress

Initial situation

1^st Day (8^th March '14)

Day 2 and 3 (9th – 10th March '14)

Day 4 (11^th March '14)

The rough base is being laid, now almost complete. This will be leveled again or smoothed with sand and crushed terracotta topping. Expansion joints are sand here owing to the climate. 

The large load of Chiracotta arrived today that is like a thick slate that will lie on top of the sand crush. Looks impressive!

Day 5 (12^th March '14)

Day 6 (13^th March '14)

Day 7 (14^th March '14)

The bluestone slate or chiracotta almost all down. Extra drainage to come next with additional holes. One thing we discovered is that the Science lab was laid on an angle! Meaning the other end of the backyard to be a square would have looked odd. We will take the grass to a straight edge.

Day 8 - 10 (15^th - 17^th March '14)

Kindly note work has stopped for two days due to Holi.

Day 11 (18^th March '14)

Day 14 (21^th March '14)

Day 19 (26^th March '14)

A delay in sending the paver blocks has delayed the installation which was scheduled for 26 March. The labours started work that day with leveling the Chera Kota stone and cementing the boundary skirting. Apparently the paver blocks will arrive 27 March early morning and they will start the laying process and hope to complete it by Saturday 29 March along with the extra drain.

They will start laying the Tiger turf from Sunday the 30th and hope to complete this the same day. There after 48 hours of time is given for the adhesive to set and hopefully the playing area can be used from the 2nd of April.

It seems like a few days will see this off and we can assess the job's final quality!

Day 21 (28^th March '14)

The laying of the paving around the perimeter of the surface area has commenced.

Day 24 (31^th March '14)

The final stages: the turf laying work is nearing completion and shall be finished today.

Day 27 (3^th April '14) Back lawn in use!

Great news! We started using the back lawn from this morning. I am sure that you will like this.
