I've a 60-65 sq m garden & hate mowing lawn as I dislike smell of fresh cut grass. What cheap/cheerful & low maintenance options are there instead of grass?

Thanks for that William great advice as usual!! Hello Krystal, There are many options you can go for, paving is the most expensive but lowest maintenance. Artificial grass (which can actually look quite good) is almost as low maintenance but again fairly pricey. Removing the lawn and mulching the area in pebbles or stones would work out cheaper but render the garden less usable and this would require a little more maintenace (though nowhere near as much as grass). And you could also plant up some areas to add interest. With a garden as big as yours your probably looking at spending thousands of pounds rather than hundreds. So with that in mind post the job under the 'Find a tradesman' section if your seriously considering having some work done and you'll have three landscapers come out and provide you with quotes. Good luck, Craig Young Spruce Garden Services Edinburgh and Lothians
