Great Grass Giveaway Garden

Family garden laid with artificial grass

Great Grass Giveaway winner

In celebration of the Queen’s 90th birthday last year we ran a competition to transform your lawn and giveaway 90sqm of Namgrass. To enter you had to tell us your best gardening tip and the public did not disappoint! Our lucky winners Joan and Bob Carr from Southend-On-Sea told us:

“Every day when I go out into the garden to put washing out etc. I always go out to the garden and get the weeds out, check for dead flies, and check the fruit trees so more can grow quickly”.

Not only were they super excited about having their lawn transformed, it was perfect timing! Having recently moved from Stevenage to Southend-On-Sea they didn’t have time to focus on the garden as much as they’d like to. The new family home boasts three generations of the family from grandparents Joan and Bob to two young grandchildren, they really wanted a garden that was fuss-free and that the kids can enjoy all year round and not get muddy. Namgrass artificial grass was the perfect solution! The product we used was Meadow for its deeper colour and trying to keep it as close to the colour of their natural lawn. Watch their story and find out more about the lovely winners.

We had thousands of entries to the competition, each with a useful tip so we’ve compiled a few gardening tips for you to try. Rachael Buckley A lovely garden can be ruined by pests that munch on your plants! Deter them by sprinkling left over coffee grounds on your beds! Keeps the pests away and enriches the soil! Katy Hanson My top gardening tip: If you like wildlife to visit your garden. Bees and finches are particularly attracted to lavender! If you also ensure you have some daisies, as these are important as they have nectar in their centre. Claire Dainty My gardening tip is don’t stress about it, your garden is there to enjoy!! Do what you can and gets the kids involved! My son loves to pick fruit and veg.

Debbie Tunstall My top tip to keep your garden in bloom. Make sure you dead head morning and evening this helps the plant to produce more flowers. Carley Smith My mum’s top tip was ifyou’re not sure whether it’s a weed or a flower ask yourself do you like it? As long as you love your garden that’s all that matters. Karen Scammell I use pop bottles with the bottoms cut off to use as mini cloches for my sunflower seedlings and to keep the slugs off while they grow. Joanna Blyther My best tip is to invite everyone over for a ‘garden party ‘ and when they arrive get everyone to do some gardening for you.

Coleen Collins Let all flowers seed & then swap seedlings with friends & neighbours. Great variety of plants for free! Ruth Mears Put Vaseline around all your plant pots fancy containers, it stops the snails or other bugs from getting to your plants. Frances Newton My gardening tip is I keep my plants in pots which stops my 3 dogs digging them up and I can move them around which makes my garden more interesting. We hope you find these tips useful, we sure did! Keep your eyes peeled for more gardening tips coming soon.

Namgrass wins at the Golden Bridge Awards

On Thursday 25th November, the Namgrass team from Belgium and the UK travelled to the Belgian Embassy in London for the 20th annual Golden Bridge Trade & Export Awards.

They are one of Europe’s most prestigious awards which recognises the trade and export success of UK companies doing business in Belgium, and Belgian & Luxembourg companies doing business in the UK.

Earlier this year Namgrass Directors Stefaan Rossel and Robert Redcliffe were invited to present to a judging panel which included the Ambassador of Belgium and the Economic & Commercial Counsellor for Brussels to name but a few!

Namgrass were awarded with the title of Best Newcomer in the UK by Ben De Smit, Economic and Commercial Counsellor for Flanders and it was our Directors who impressed the jury with their entrepreneurial spirit; creating a niche market which was deemed too small for the big players and turning it into a profitable and sizeable market with great potential.

Providing high-quality artificial grass solutions for companies and individuals, Namgrass works with local partners to meet the demand across the UK, touting commercial work for a number of leading UK businesses.

Chamber of Commerce

British Chamber of Commerce in Belgium President Thomas Spiller said: “The Golden Bridge Trade & Export Awards continue to highlight the strength and importance of the Benelux and UK markets as a whole, and this year’s winners help to emphasise that point. These bilateral awards allow businesses to celebrate their commitment to maintaining a strong UK-European relationship and that we, as chambers of commerce, will continue to facilitate a platform for these UK-Belgium & Luxembourg ties to develop.”

It is such an honour to win such an award and we want to thank all of our partners and customers for all your continued support and it is so great to be part of an award-winning team and brand!

From pro-golfer to pro-installer

Namgrass Artificial Grass Golf Surface

From Pro-Golfer to Pro-Installer

For those on the outside looking at the prospect of being a professional golfer, it seems like living a dream. The truth is that it’s a very tough world and with the exception of a few individuals it can be a very competitive and difficult way to make a living. When David from Henry Thomas Garden Design decided to leave the world of professional golf, it’s fair to say his future was looking a little uncertain. After years of dedication to the game, he loved the big question was what to do next?

David looked at the trends in the market and knew that his love of landscaping and being outdoors, combined with the growth of interest in artificial grass meant there was a clear opportunity to step into the world of artificial grass and become an installer. “I looked at lots of different grasses and nothing really grabbed me but when I met you guys at FutureScape your professionalism as a team and the quality of the products themselves meant my decision was made for me. I went straight to the bank and borrowed the money I needed to get started and the rest has come from there.”

Namgrass approved installer David Walker

  “I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to the team at Namgrass. When I left the world of professional golf with nothing but £50 in my pocket I really didn’t know what I was going to do. After meeting with Shane and Morgan I had the confidence to go and get a bank loan and build my business to the success it is today. It’s been hard but having the support of Namgrass behind me all the way really has made all the difference. I’m so pleased I decided to work with you and the team.” David Walker, Henry Thomas Garden Design.

I love the Namgrass products, the quality is unmatched and all my clients love them too. This has given me the confidence to build my business, safe in the knowledge that I’m offering the best value and service to my customers and that I have the full support of the team at Namgrass behind me, it’s a true partnership.”

At Namgrass our install partners are second to none and go through a tried and tested procedure to earn the title of a Namgrass Approved Installer. If you would like to hear more about our National installer network why not give our team a call or find your nearest Namgrass Approved Installer now.

“We are delighted to have Namgrass supply our artificial grass on Soccer AM. The team have been first class in delivering this amazing surface in a short amount of time, and we are over the moon with the finished look and quality of the grass. It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with everyone at Namgrass”.

As the football season is due to kick-off the teams and players are getting ready and so are we…We are proud to announce that we are the artificial grass supplier for Sky’s Soccer AM. The Soccer AM team were looking to replace the tired looking artificial grass for their ‘Top Bin’ feature and had approached a number of companies to be their supplier.

Namgrass came top of the league for its high-quality product and service. Spanning 500sqm of concrete surface and a high traffic area through to the studio, the space needed a very hard-wearing product to handle the crowds and that’s why Namgrass Green Vision was used.  Find out more about the install here.

ITV’s Love Your Garden and Namgrass

Love Your Garden with Alan Titchmarsh

Namgrass on ITV’s Love Your Garden

At Namgrass, we try to give back to the community as much as possible. In this year’s series of ITV’s Love Your Garden, we were lucky enough to be involved in a garden design project lead by Alan Titchmarsh, David Domoney and their team.

Tilly Sawford, a burns patient since she was very young, had been nominated by the medics at Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham where she has been receiving treatment. Tilly’s home was being modified to allow easier wheelchair access in the home and the garden wasn’t a priority for the busy family of seven.

The nomination really was a blessing and Alan and the team created a beautiful, functional and safe playing environment for the children (and adults!).

Garden Design

The garden was sectioned off into different areas for the family with the summerhouse as the focal point, it also had a shepherds hut and a fairy garden for the girls and a football penalty area for the older boys which was created for them using Green Vision – our most hard-wearing grass suitable for a spaces that will see a lot of action!

We also provided the grass flooring to the ‘Dangerous Den’ – a perfect addition to add a bit of comfort and brightness to that area. The design of the garden really allows for the whole family to have their own space but to come together in the summerhouse which acts as a crafts area and dining room to make more special memories as a family. Just fab!

Want more information?

If you would like more information on Green Vision or any other grasses in our range you can go to our Artificial Grass page or call us on 01425 627832. We’re a friendly bunch so we would love to hear from you.
