TigerTurf Summer Envy turns dust into lush green lawn beneath a magnificent shady tree

The restful green TigerTurf Summer Envy 35 XWR landscape lawn around the base of the venerable old tree solves many problems for the school.

The tree stretches attractive lacy foliage over the lawn, the perfect, sun-safe lunchtime retreat for the junior students; however, the gnarled roots writhing over the lawn and closely beneath the surface at the base of the trunk made this impossible. Furthermore, the dense foliage reaching above the entire lawn prevented a lawn from establishing in the dry, dusty area beneath the tree.

The TigerTurf installation team built a 100mm base to form a stable, even surface over the mass of knobbly roots to lay the lawn over. A difficult installation, but a successful project that turned a long-time problem into an attractive feature, perfect for lunchtimes and relaxation.

Draining freely and providing protection for the tree’s life support system, TigerTurf Summer Envy turned the dusty unused area into a restful green velvet lawn beneath the splendid canopy. 

Best of all, the eye-catching TigerTurf Trophy playground and the TigerTurf Summer Envy lawn beneath the tree will look as good as new every day for the next decade and more, without expensive irrigation and maintenance – a superb showpiece at the front of Stanley Bay School.
