Domestic Gardens


People find it easier to get the money because they are on benefits, even when they don’t have children as demanding as Mason. Just because Jason works, does not mean we have lots of money to spend


the touch, so should not graze skin. It has a 36mm pile height, vibrant mix of three separate colour tones and integral brown thatch, which makes it ideal for anyone wanting to make a statement or brighten up their garden. It also incorporates a special C-Shaped yarn which helps the grass to recover to its original shape. Kerry Long, Project Manager at


Technical Surfaces, along with Richard Dunnan and Gary Pepper, were there fitting the new turf when I arrived at the Jagger’s house in the morning. Kerry had already visited the property a few months beforehand to survey the area: “There are no drains and no





electrics, so it has been pretty straightforward.” He explains the process to me: “We


took up the existing turf and then put in 50mm of granite stone to dust. We then water and whacker it so it gets nice and compact. A geotextile weed membrane is put over the top and we then put the grass on top of that, and trim around all the edges and around any trees and obstacles. In this case, there is nothing to cut around really. Then we dress the grass with silicon sand to stabilise the carpet. The sand acts as a ballast and keeps the fibres upright. That’s it really.” I ask Kerry about the lifespan.
