Holywell Primary school of Rubery, Birmingham had lived with a problem area in front of the entrance to their school since it was first built over ten years ago. The heavily sloping bank and heavily worn areas would frequently send mud and silt onto the adjoining playground and the children would traffic dirt into the school, with the areas having to be coned off during the winter months. 

 

Anne Farmer, the bursar at the school, thought their only option was to terrace the area, at major cost. However, Ms Farmer was over the moon when she discovered Sowgreen® artificial grass.

 

She questioned if it could be used on banks and after being re-assured by Sowgreen’s technical team she was happy to give it a try.

 
The first trial area was installed back in 2007. The school has been so impressed by the results of the artificial grass that they have recently ordered their 3rd area of Sowgreen®.

 

“Muddy areas were causing problems for us”, commented Ms Farmer. “It was also stopping the children from enjoying the outdoor facilities to the full, so we called in the SowGreen® team to help us out. We’ve been delighted with the results and our only regret is that we didn't hear about Sowgreen sooner”.

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"
