Hello friends
A different blog post today but something I wanted to share with you.
The VT (Victorian Terrace) has had a garden makeover!
My garden is small but amazingly it still takes a lot of gardening time.
Over the last 10 years or so I've re-turfed the lawn a couple of times but it never looked good,
certain areas always refused to grow and it was never going to look bowling green standard!
My eldest son Mitchell hit upon the idea of artificial lawn - after some research we discovered
it is pet friendly, weather resistant and permanently green!
I was able to buy an off-cut to fit my garden and taking on the job ourselves meant it
would be economical too.
So the task began...
Mitchell lifting the old lawn.
As you can see it wasn't a great lawn!
Tiring work.
Very exhausting for Bella!
More than half way lifting the old lawn.
Ikea bags - so useful for gardening!
A wooden frame was needed (thank you Dad!)
Levelling the soil - again big thanks to my Dad who stepped in to help.
'Stepped in' is what we all had to do at this point - trampling the ground to make it firm.
For ages we waddled around like penguins - I'm sure it gave the neighbours a giggle.
13 bags of sand later....
and plenty of paw prints!
The artificial lawn at last ...it is like fitting a carpet.
Finished - much greener and nicer!
I'm thrilled with the end result.
So grateful to my family.
Mitchell worked so hard, he said he wanted to make things easier for me over the Summer.
(I think he really meant he didn't want to end up mowing the lawn each week!)
So - not craft related today but I will be back soon with some projects.
Take care friends.

Morning Christine,
Well done to Mitchell, your new lawn looks great, but does he realise that he needs to hoover it once a week LOL. Bella looks like she is enjoying the sunshine too.

It looks good to me Christine, dogs seem to pick out all the best spots don't they!
Hi Christine what a lovely son you have. Your garden looks lovely and if easier to manage will be you more crafting time.
Looks like you all had a busy and hard weekend but the finished result looks great .Melanie
Hi Christine. The lawn looks great. You certainly have a very thoughtful son who is trying to make your life easier at a time when you will all be busy with other far more important things. Well done Mitchell. I hope the sun continues so you can all get out in the garden to enjoy it.Take care.
Hi Christine
What a fantastic idea, your garden looks lovely! Well done to Mitchell for all his hard work.....and to Dad....and of course Bella :-))
This must mean there's more time for crafting in the future?
Have a lovely day.

Christine this looks fantastic, we have seen this and thought if we had a smaller garden it would be a good option. Well done to Mitchell doing all that hard work and to Dad of course.. no more lawn to cut. I agree about the Ikea bags they are brilliant for rubbish
Hope you get loads of sun to enjoy the garden

Hi Christine. What a wonderful job the Emberson family have done on the lawn. Youre so lucky, and deservedly so, to have such great sons. Pat on the back to Dad too. Bella was obviously supervising the whole day!
Hope the sun continues to shine as I'm off to UK for a long weekend to incorporate HSNW. Anyone else going?
Love Val in Spain xxx

Lots of love from Patricia xx
Morning Christine,

A lovely result Chris, well done to the men in your family for knuckling down and doing some hard work. Bella had the best idea to sit and watch from a relaxing seat. Lets hope the lovely weather continues. Janice x

Hi Christine. Your garden really looks great, no more mowing sounds good to me. Take care . x.
Good morning Christine, your lawn looks lovely and what a workforce you have in your family. You are very lucky. Mitchell deserves a little treat for doing all that hard work. So glad that you have one less thing to think about at this time. Crafting can wait - it will always be there for you! And all of us!
Hi Christine, looks good could do with it myself but my lawns are too big, fed up with dandilions needs weeding and feeding another job i hate love Jean Z xx
Hi Christine,
My hat off to Mitchell and your Dad and you, for that "family project".
At my sports club we've had artificial pitches for years and years and they're looking fine.
Looking forward to the final stage of your tutorial...

Hi Christine, well done Dad and Mitchell! The new lawn looks great. I think this is something we might have to think about as we are fighting a losing battle with our lawn. We keep getting bits dying off where Honey pees and the Dog rocks are useless. Have a lovely day. Hugs. Gemma xx
Hi Christine,
What a hard working family you are ~ Mitchell, Dad and supervisor Bella put in some hard graft, with the end result of a wonderful looking lawn!Well done to you all. Hope you get a chance to enjoy the sunshine sitting out admiring that new lawn. Hugs xx
Hi Christine, The "lawn" looks lovely :) I see Bella put her "mark" on it by putting pawprints all over the sand lol. Well done to you all xxxx
It looks brilliant! What a fabulous idea - what a good team you all make (Bella included) xx

Do you know Christine your son Mitchell is such a treasure, what would you do without him. A lovely job well done by all & no grass to cut means more time to either sit in the garden or to craft. ENJOY!!!
Looks good to me :)
What a great idea, welldone to all including little Bella.C.B.W. Carolyn x.
We have the same problem in our garden, and have toyed with the idea of false grass... so I call it.. yet to find some affordable that I like yet... well done on yours looks brill!
Xx
Mitchell you are simply Amazing done, such a good idea too! looks fab and so low maintenance!
Christine i love that you share the non-crafty things with us all!

Hi Christine - Wonderful, Wondeful Lawn. Mitchell is a very caring and thoughtful son. Well done Mitchell and of course your dad.

Lovely lawn Christine, well done to Mitchell and your dad..I see Bella is impressed! Carole Z X
Hi Christine
your old lawn looked just like ours. However, ours in on a larger scale. Well done to Michael and Dad, and Bella for supervising. They all worked very hard. I assume this is like astro turf, which they use for football pitches. You now have a lovely trouble free lawn to relax in the sun on.
That looked like hard work, well done Mitchell and Dad! Worth the effort though as it looks great. Juliatx
It's funny, Christine, I was looking at artificial grass in the hardware store over the weekend! My garden is a little larger than yours however and would probably cost a fortune! My grass at the minute is more of a moss and weed combination, though I have to say, I love dandelions, they're like little sunshines - good thing really! The hard work was definitely worth the effort as your 'lawn' looks fantastic! Lisa x
Hi Christine - love the new garden - my son recently did this to his garden as there wasnt a very big space for lawn, It has looked great all the time - Bella looks as though she likes it - By the Way Bella is about a month older than my little Yorkie - Bonnie, I love seeing her photos - take care Smiles - Jean x
What a great transformation Christine, well done Mitchell for working so hard. It's really difficult getting a plot ready for laying a lawn. Anne x
Hi Christine
Love the new "lawn" its just fabulous well done to Mitchell and your Dad for stepping in you did make me smile when you said about waddling around like penquins he he:-)
Friends of ours are thinking of replacing their v.small lawn surrounded by lots of old trees that has never really grown well with this kind of turf boy what a great idea no more mowing and sneezing when you collect all the cut grass a winner all round.
