"Earlier this year Artificial Grass Solutions, were engaged to carry out the landscaping of an area adjacent to the main entrance to our school. The work was completed to an extremely high standard and on time. This was no mean feat considering it was carried out during term time at a secondary school with 1100 students....... I found the team to be reliable, courteous and always considerate; in short thoroughly professional. I am already looking forward to working with them again on our next project."

Scallywags Day Nursery, Oakham


mardi grass Ltd helped Scallywags Day Nursery in Oakham make the most of their resources. Originally they had a hard slab area with two change levels. Not only did the change of the levels cause a trip hazard for little ones, slabs are pretty harsh as a play surface.

The solution from mardi Grss Ltd was to use mardi grass Blade 20, and to produce a single slope throughout the length of the area. We fitted 20mm Shock pads underneath for a comforting soft feel and extra safety.
The result was a one single large safe play are for the youngsters and a multi use games area for the school that dries quickly and can be used regularly throughout the year. With its soft feel, great look and simplicity that are has been a great hit with the kids, their parents and school.

This is what we started with..... Turning hard un-yielding slabs into soft child friendly grass.
