lads
back lawn - very marshy out there at the mo
was going to throw down some top soil and grass seed but to honest im pretty sure the builders have filled the whole thing with rubble that has killed the drainage
options here if ye may

• throw down some topsoils and seed in March and see how we go over the summer
• dig the thing out - get out all the rubble and start again
• dig a trench and a few drainage pipes

its our first year in here - bout size of a tennis court

Is your house built on a flood plain?

no it is not Fagan

thanks lads
ill give this a whack in late june i think
i want to see will it settle a bit but im not sure at all

Just get in a Landscaper and be done with it, they’ll sort drainage & till-reseed the ground.
If you make a bollocks of it you’ll be calling the cunt in afterwards regardless.
With young children it’s best to have the place right & someway dry so they don’t drag shit in all over the gaff.

Artificial Grass mate

[balbec]

I thought he would have a moat.

[ciarancareyshurlingarmy]

He thought about it but was afraid that Gazza would turn up.

[Julio_Geordio]

Have you done it mate?

I’m strongly considering it. Don’t have a massive back so it seems a waste to be fucking around with a small patch of grass.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Doing it in April, I’ve seen it in other houses and it looks brilliant.

I got a quote for it, but it was steep enough. A lot of the cost involved them having to do a bit of clearing of trees, shrubs, stones etc. first so I’m going to try doing a shot of that myself and see what it’s coming in at then.

You’d be good at cleaning stones I’d say, mate. Born for it.

God love the children trying to play on Astro.
Have ye seen the burns you pick up after minor slide on that stuff.

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy is thinking of his tennis and the membership fees he will save. He can only play at home in July/August.

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

How much was it? Over 1k

[Julio_Geordio]

Closer to €4K for about 80m2 but it’s cheaper if there’s a lawn there already that they are just replacing.

[Julio_Geordio]

I got another quote for €3k but they hadn’t actually looked at the job

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Eeek

[Fitzy]

Artificial grass. For fucks sake.
