Maybe put a few more slabs down so that the kids can still ride their scooters.

Grass will be fine, maybe feed it when you get chance and just enjoy it! Looks great, have fun!

After some inspiration, we have a 10ft trampoline sunk into our garden so it’s flush with the grass and my kids no longer use it.

Hi guys, just in need of some advice around artificial grass, we dug up the garden last year as the previous owners had ruined the grass and we’re about to get it redone, but can’t decide between real or artificial grass.
