Celebrate:MK editor Jon Boyle explains how his garden has been transformed from a muddy mess into a footballer’s paradise by Prestige Lawns – and his three-year-old son couldn’t be happier…

One of my good friends once told me that the best thing he ever bought was his artificial grass – and now I know exactly what he meant.

I live in a new-build house but the cheap natural turf in the garden had deteriorated to such an extent in just a couple of years that it had become a muddy mess that my son, Eddie, no longer enjoyed playing on.

And even when he did, he ended up walking muddy footprints through the house afterwards that wrecked the carpet and left his dad seething!

So I called Prestige Lawns, who sent round a friendly surveyor to show me samples of their different types of artificial grass and he gave me a free no obligation quote for the ‘Solis’ grass I selected.

I decided to go for it as the price was very competitive. And, much like my old pal ‘Flec’ said, it is probably the best thing I’ve ever bought.

Lincoln and Glenn did an amazing job of fitting it over two days in the scorching summer sun and they were brilliant with Eddie too, who was an eager spectactor throughout.

My grass is now like the hallowed turf of Wembley, which pleases my little footballer, and there are no more muddy footprints, which delights me!
