The ProGroup Solution
Turning a small, messy backyard into a chic, stylish entertaining space needed the right design and the right tools. Here’s how we did it:
Surface Preparation:
We started by clearing out the crushed shell and digging down about 70mm to remove any dirt and debris. To prevent weeds from coming through, we laid a geotech membrane over the area.
Next, we backfilled the space with gap 7 aggregate and compacted it to create a solid, level base that wouldn’t shift or sink. A blinding sand layer was added on top to provide the perfect base for the small backyard artificial grass.
Artificial Grass Installation:
We chose a short pile, UV-stabilised artificial grass that looked fresh and natural without the hassle of mowing or watering. It was soft underfoot and designed to handle regular foot traffic, perfect for a small entertaining space.
Finishing Touches and Styling:
To maximise the space and create a chic, open feel, we strategically placed a potted plant and a jasmine creeper against the fence, adding a splash of greenery without taking up valuable floor space, leaving plenty of room for the outdoor table and benches.
To complete the look, we installed outdoor string lights that added a warm, welcoming glow – perfect for evening gatherings and relaxed nights outside.
