Also, any reason you didn't do the shire strip?
Once it is installed properly, there is no way you can roll it up and walk off with it. Need a serious amount of people to do so.

Looks good mate, yeah once that is full of white sand no way it will get lifted, we had a roll full of sand and was wet, 4 guys couldnt lift it.

Fake lawn is great, no water, always looks green,


All you need now if a brick fence to section off from the shire land, and keep people away from buss stop.

brick pillars and metal infills.

yes pegged down and joins are taped together with some wide strips of seriously sticky tape which has a foil like backing to it.

this is why I have no lawn... paving everywhere, minimal garden, the rest of my block is house. I would NEVER EVER lay lawn that wasn't artificial in this day and age... There is no point to it...

Make sure the young fella has shoes on if he goes out on it in the sun - I have seen some burns on a kids feet as it can gett as hot as dark brick paving or strangley enough water it 1st before you use it in summer
