Artificial grass is a great alternative solution to a natural lawn. It needs very little maintenance because you will not have to mow it or deal with mud during the winter. Today, artificial grass is made up of fibres and infills of a mixture of sand and granules of recycled rubber. They've frequently been applied in commercial conditions, but are becoming a lot more preferred in people’s residences. You are able to lay artificial grass on virtually any surface, irrespective of whether it's flat or sloping. It is safe for young children and pets, plus it drains like real grass so you will not end up with puddles. It’s environmentally friendly as you won’t have to water it and there's no requirement to treat it with pesticides or feeds. You should get up to 20 years out of your artificial grass without any maintenance and hassle. It won’t fade or flatten in time, and it'll retain its colour right until the end of its life.

There is a ferry link from Stromness to Scrabster on the north coast of mainland Scotland. First recorded as the site of an inn in the sixteenth century, Stromness came to be crucial during the late seventeenth century, when Great Britain was at war with France as well as delivery was compelled to stay clear of the English Channel. Ships of the Hudson's Bay Company were regular visitors, as were whaling fleets. Large numbers of Orkneymen, many of whom came from the Stromness area, functioned as investors, explorers and seamen for both. Captain Cook's ships, Discovery and also Resolution, called at the town in 1780 on their return voyage from the Hawaiian Islands, where Captain Cook had been killed. Stromness Museum reflects these aspects of the community's history (displaying for instance crucial collections of whaling relics, and Inuit artefacts revived as keepsakes by regional men from Greenland and Arctic Canada).

Laying artificial grass is a popular project – it’s a great way to create a smart, low-maintenance garden. There are plenty of professionals around who are experts at installing artificial grass, but it’s possible to DIY too if you’re feeling confident.
Lots of homeowners choose to replace their existing turf with artificial grass, so lay it on soil. To do this, start by clearing the area of any greenery or turf. Then remove any extra soil to a depth of about 40mm. You might want to leave the centre of your area slightly higher than the edges for a more natural look.
Next, you need to add a weed membrane and a sharp sand sub-base. It doesn’t really matter which one of these you do first, but you might find it easier to lay the weed membrane first and then use the sand to weigh it down, to a depth of about 35mm. Use a rake and plank to make the sand level, and compact it with a plank and heavy hammer. It doesn’t need to be completely flat – gentle slopes are fine. The weed membrane should overlap joints by 300mm.
After you’ve done this, you can lay your grass. Roll it out, trim it to size and fasten it in place. Make sure the ends of the grass rolls are staggered so they don’t end in a line. Lay the artificial grass with the pile (the strands) leaning towards the house so it looks nice and full when you’re looking out from the house. If you’ve decided to use edging boards, you can nail the grass into the tops of the boards. Or, if you haven’t, use ground pins to anchor it into the soil. Brush the grass and you’re done!
